6-4-11 DB Dailies

As Yogi said...it was "Deja Vu all over again" this morning. Lots of lightning and thunder along with nuisance rain. Most of that was over by 1100, but it remained totally overcast all day. At 0649 I found M&M (R020)& Pup on D#11, high on the beach at Seal Rock Inlet , on Rabbit Island.

At 0955 Buster (RV08) would haul out of Seal Rock Inlet, and moved up and into the Morning Glory. When the kid and Mom moved down to the water line at 1040, Buster moved down also. He and M&M had words, and Buster moved away, heading back up, but later moved down again and once again he and Mom had words and he departed . I did not see him again today. During the course of the day I observed two feeds, and lots of snoozin', with M&;M and pup. They would remain all day.

On my 0712 Spitting Cave check I found Kolohe (RW22) doing 6 minute dives.

Team Billand reported Benny (RE74) fronting Tower #1 at White Plains at 0735. Thankfully, he would depart White Plains at 1000, but that was not the end of Benny. At 0753 the Billands found Makaiwi (R4DF) fronting #1703) at Nimitz Cottages. At 0832 they found Kermit (R4DG) beyond the last bunker on the west side of Nimitz jetty. He would remain there only a few minutes before reentering the water. At 0917 he would haul out to join Makaiwi at Nimitz Cottages.

Reenter Benny.... after departing WP at 1000, he hauled out to join Makaiwi and Kermit at Nimitz Cottages at 1044. As you can well imagine, chaos ensued and he and Kermit had words. Kermit would depart at 1102, but return at 1122 for Round #2. Once again Kermit would go jaw to jaw the Benny, and would once again depart, hauling out a few hundred feet away.

Barbara checked in at 1237 to advise that WP lifeguard Bryan had called them about a small animal just hauling out on the east side of the east end perimeter fence at White Plain. Posse member Vera would respond at confirmed Max (R5EW) at 1255. Posse member Heide reported to the Billands that Max departed at 1415.

Vera is the only volunteer name I've heard as of this writing, but there were no doubt more good hearted folk out there today. Thank You....... Very Much !!!

M+M, Pup and Buster
