9-17-11 Kekoa Update from Reef Runway

Aloha good people,
This morning I headed out to the Reef Runway and was happy to find Kekoa sound asleep at the shoreline away from the birthing beach but still within walking distance. I sat in the sand put up my umbrella and spend the next two hours watching a sleeping seal.... the only movement was a sneeze, a roll over and perhaps an itch.  This boy must spend a lot of time out on the water because the last time I saw him it was pretty much the same thing.... he couldn't keep his eyes open.  Also from what I can tell, he is a very healthy young weaner....
