2-1-2012 DB's Dailies: RO28@SC, RI37@Laie, Rocky@Waikiki


Another day in the Kaiwi Kuest, and another zero to report. Dera's latest map continues to show the girl ranging in the SE quadrant, but she must have a new Naupaka in her life, because Kaiwi Cove has been Monk Seal free for several days now. Of course, the quest continues. Gayle and Terry, unstoppable adventurers that they are, even covered the Pele's Chair area in the estuaries, and checked the Makapuu tide pools. These two are animals !!!

At 0732 posse member Gayle called to advise of an animal foraging near the ladder at Spitting Cave. When I arrived at 0750 I confirmed the Pohaku (R028) ID. This is very probably the same animal that posse member Terry has been reporting each night as darkness fell. She was doing 5-6 minute dives. Posse member Kathy called at 1014 to advise that Pohaku appeared to have departed, heading east.

Team Billand checked in at 0647 to advise that T15M & Kermit (R012) where once again fronting #1708, White Plains.
They would report another White Plains animal at 1057. Posse member Clay Gates responded and cordoned off M&M (R020).

The Billands found Benny (RE74) at Makaha Beach, fronting the life guard stand at 0855.

Dana called at 0910 to advise that volunteer Azlina had reported RI37 on the beach behind her house . Confirming photos have been received.
Dana called again at 1054 to advise of an animal behind the condo just east of the Elk's Club, in Waikiki. DIGA (Diane Gabriel was at the Aquarium, and went over to deal with Rocky (RH58).

Speaking of Rocky, in the Yesterday's News department , Liz Weske's photos from yesterday's haul out behind the Aquarium arrived today. Surprise...Surprise...It was Rocky !

What's the story with Kekoa? I saw an entry on Facebook that he was dehooked yesterday evening. I wish we had more regular updates on sightings of him even if we don't have photos.

Another beautiful photo of Spitting Caves, DB!
