1-2-2012 DB's Dailies:Buster,RM38,Kolohe&U/M@RI, Rocky@Elk's Club, RI37@Laie,

Kaiwi was a no show today. With all the hordes of people on the beaches today , there wasn't any place to haul out anyway.

AT 0859 I found an animal 40 ft left of 1BS on Rabbit Island. It would take all day for it to move into view. I'll carry it as an U/M for the time being. I saw a fresh wound , possibly a new CC wound , mid ventral, just right of the midline.

At 0903 I found a D#9 , 15% molting Buster (RV08) up in the vegetation . He would later move down to cool off.

At 0904 I found RM38 & Kolohe (RW22) together amongst the water front rocks, right of Seal Rock Inlet.

Once again today I had visitors to Rabbit Island, from 1053 till 1133. It was the same boat that had come yesterday. There had been 4 people yesterday. Today they were 11 people, all of whom once again played the game of being on the island , but staying in the water just enough to keep their feet wet. The kids were playing in the shallows. I gave the boat's ID number (HA 8406 H) to DOCARE Officer Ken, who advised that he will contact the boat owner.

Team Billand called at 0730 with the report of Kermit (R012), once again fronting #1708 at White Plains. Barbara reported an interesting end to the day at WP. They had at least one, and probably 2 Tiger Sharks in the shallows at end of day. They cleared the water . Hopefully, Kermit will be wise enough to stay on the beach tonight.

Team Billand also reported Irma at the cove just west of Paradise Cove at 1145.

At 1241 they found Pohaku (RO28) at Secret Beach, KoOlina.

Dana called at 1522 to advise that Kelly Evans had once again found RI37 in Laie.

The Digas made the Ka'ena Point trek today, and found 761, Ka'ena (RO40), Noa (R6FI), and Kerby (RW08) at the end of the world.

Dana called at 1114 to advise of an animal behind the Elk's Club in Waikiki. Colleen responded and confirmed the Rocky (RH58) at 1238. According to Colleen, Rocky left just before sundown.

 Another party on Rabbit Island... amazing.
