2-5-2012 DB's Dailies and the Brazilian with a Mission


The Kaiwi Krew and I were out doin' a lot of lookin' but no findin' . My only critter of the day turned out to be Buster (RV08) whom I found on a pan of the beach at Rabbit Island at 1048. He would be the only RI resident today, and my only find.

Posse member Lesley made my day. She initially called at 1505 to advise that some kids had told her they had seen a small seal with a transmitter somewhere in Portlock. Lesley checked the area and was batting zero until she spoke with the kids again, and got a more specific location. At 1600 she called to report that she had found Kaiwi (RK96), at "Fingers". 
Now I ain't sayin' how the mission was accomplished, but Fingers is a now closed access path between China Walls, and Kokee Mini Park. The access had been close by the C&C long ago, however surfers had cut a hole in the chain link fence , so there was still a way to get to the spot. A few weeks ago the C&C put up new fencing so there is no longer a way to get there from here, unless you are an adventurous Brazilian on that mission. As I said, Lesley found Kaiwi at Fingers.... 'nough said !!! Obrigadao !!!

Team Billand called at 0716 to report T15M fronting #1708, White Plains. Shortly thereafter (0720) they reported that Kermit (R012) had joined him.

The Billands checked in again at 0731 to advise that posse member Clay Gates had called them to report that Rocky (RH58) had overnighted at Iroquois Point.

Yet another call from the Billand came at 1025 to report that 2AW had hauled out fronting #1775 at White Plains.

An over kill day at White Plains you say..... well, the ride ain't over yet folks ! At 1335 the Billands called again to report that M&M (R020) had just hauled out to join the crowd. Barbara tells me that ties the WP record.

Posse member Kelly Evans checked in to advise that she had found La'akea (RK82) at the Campbell Bird Refuge today. Thank You Kelly Girl !

 La'akea RK82 good to see her!
