8-31-11 DB Dailies

The Dawn Patrol arrived at AD at 0550 to find Irma (R010) and Ka Iwi right were I'd left them last night at the far east end of the site. The did a feed at 0759, and did a swim session from 0853 to 1100, moving even more to the east, hauling out 100 ft beyond the fence line established only yesteday. I spent the entire day extending the fence line to the east, and adjusting the west end fence line. They are now on the cusp of the surf spot known as "Left Point". Fortunately, the huge surf has made that spot unsurfable, so there was nobody out. If the waves get rideable again, and they continue to move to the east, there could be a problem for surfers paddling in and out, if they are in the water. Hopefully, they will move back to the west, but of course only Irma knows the plan.

It was one of those rare days that I never even got to Makai Pier for an RI check .

Team Billand called at 1315 to advise that M&M (R020) was alone at Guard Rails Beach in Maili.

At 1330 they reported RIP (RR70) at Maili Point at the location that both he and M&M have been for a few days.

 Surf looks a bit calmer today
 Silly Irma

 Papa Whisperer on patrol... Big momma and Ka'iwi made him work hard today, (this past week). 
 Sure snoozing and looking so innocent
 And then their off.... 
 Makes you wonder if Irma knows what she is doing
 M+M at Maili
 She's looking good... now we just wait for her molt
 And here lies stud muffin RIP, pretty safe to say he'll be a papa next year
