1-28-2012 DB Dailies:Irma@KK, T15M@WP, Kerby@KP, U/U@Malaekahana

As usual it was lots of miles, trod and driven, but by end of day, the only pinniped in my life was Irma (R010), whom I found snoozin' in Irma's Grotto on the Kokee Flats, Portlock. She was half submerged with her head under water, lifting a nostril now and then to breathe, but that was the extent of her activity.

We found no Kaiwi, nor was there anybody on Rabbit Island once again today. A 1600 phone conversation with Dera brought news that Kaiwi appears to still be in the Kaiwi Cove / Sandy Beach area,as of last night's transmitter data, but she must have a new Naupaka bush, cause we sure didn't see her between Sandy Beach and ADs. Tomorrow ?????

Team Billand checked in at 0750 to report T15M for the 4th consecutive day, fronting #1708, White Plains. At around 1100 Kermit joined T15M within the cordon, and they have remained there the rest of the day. Thanks to Clay for being on it as usual.

Dana called at 1300 with the report of an U/U animal at Malaekahana. Awaiting photos.

It's Saturday, and that means that Missus Whisperer (Marilyn) did the Ka'ena Point trek once again. She reported humgoneous waves and a single critter. It was Kerby (RW08). He had the place all to himself (well him and a gazillion visitors). Marilyn said mostly everybody was cool, and gave him space. I always enjoy Kerby shots, since he began as a Rabbit Island boy, 3 years ago. I'm sure the Kerbys (Terri & Terry) will be stoked to see their namesake.
