10-30-11 DB Dailies and More

0600, and on the job. Marilyn started at AD, and I began at Irma's and moved to Crappy Cove, Sandy Beach, and then walking the water front rocks heading west toward Sandy Beach. At 0649 I spent 30 seconds with Kaiwi (RK96), just west of the sewer outfall, on Sandy Beach proper. Exactly where I found her yesterday. She was 10 ft off shore ,and foraging. She moved out and to the east, and I lost her. Marilyn , Gayle and myself trod many hectares finding nothing, until 0948. Marilyn called to advise that Kaiwi had hauled out to the water front rocks, 100 ft east of the AD wall. Cindy said she thought she had seen her earlier at her usual Irma's spot, but a couple and their dog at that location made a haul out impossible. I put out sides and cones at 1000.

Barbara Fields arrived for the 10-1 shift. When I passed by at 1245 Kaiwi was still there. The Dills reported that she never even opened her eyes on their 1-4 shift, and Zeenat & Patrick had a snooze going as well, until she entered the water at 1700, and began exploring her old tide pools to the east. They lost her with the darkness. We picked up the stuff and called it a day.

 At 0917 I found Nani (RK60) at Rocky Right Beach on Rabbit Island. Unfortunately, she was only visible from the Makapuu Overview, and completely hiddened from both the Kaupo Beach Park, and Makai Pier locations. She remained there all day, and was the only RI resident today.

 Dana called at 0805 to advise of an animal at MCBH. At 1059 she advised that it was KC (RK28) . Awaiting photo confirmation. At 1059

Dana advised that Right Spot (R016) was at Right Spot's Spot. Karen Turner provided photo confirmation.

 Dana also forward a video and a still from Shaka Kayaks showing an animal foraging at Kawela Bay. The video provided very little, but the still would suggest a youngster's face, and though it must go down as an U/U, I'd definitely put one cat on La'akea (RK82).

 Team Billand found Kerma & Irmet (R4DG)& (R010) fronting #1775 at White Plains at 0800. They departed together at 1723.

 Dana checked in at 1731 to advise that Right Spot had entered the water at 1700, and to also say that R5AY was in the Keiki Pond, and Ua Malie was just outside of the pond.

Kaiwi RK96 @ Alan Davis Estate
Some old dude known as the seal whisperer hard at work....
Unidentified Unknown @ Kawela Bay.... good chance it's La'akea
Right Spot R016 N6 @ Turtle Bay
Kermit and Irma @ White Plains
It's really amazing they are still haning out together... 
Bickering like an old married couple
Cooling off a little bit.
