1-15-12 DB's Dailies: Buster&Duke@RI, RIP@SC, RO28@Koolina, RI37@3Tables, Irma@DH, T21M@IRQ, T15M@WP

At 0616 I found Kermit (R012) on D#4 of his Irma's visit. His D#13 molt is 99.9%. He has remained all day. Thanks to Tammy for the afternoon rope help.

At 0759 we found RIP (RR70) doing 7 to 8 minute dives at Spitting Cave.

Posse member Robert called at 0822 to advise that Kaiwi had arrived at Crappy Cove, and was in her Naupaka bush. She has remained all day. Much mahalos to Marilyn, Gayle, June, Candy and Zeeny.

At 0928 I found Buster (RV08) tucked into the base of the cliff at the left end of Rabbit Island . He would later move down to cool off.

At 0958, what would prove to be Duke (1300) hauled out to Seal Rock Inlet on RI. Both remained the rest of the day.

Dana called at 0947 with the report of an animal at Koolina. Team Billand got the Pohaku (RO28) ID at Secret Beach at 1044.

Dana called again at 1020 with the report of an animal at 3 Tables on the North Shore. She called again at 1345 advise that it was RI37. Kelly Girl called at 1758 to advise that RI37 had entered the water. Her departure may have had something to do with the Marine Biology students, and their Frizbee that hit her. Shame on them, they should know better! Hopefully it wasn't as bad as it sounds... and it really was an accident.

Colleen called from Diamond Head at 1102 to advise that Irma (R010) was at the showers.

Team Billand called at 1117 to advise that Clay had called them to report T21M at Iroquois Point.

Team Billand called at 1726 to advise that T15M had returned to White Plains at 1630. He is fronting #1707.

RIP R70 @ Spitting Cave
