At 0636 I found that Irma (R010) had overnighted at Hanauma Bay. I cordoned her off and she has remained all day. I got a better look at her left side today, and noted that she has shark teeth wounds on her left side also. Obviously, this "man in the gray suit" had a mouth fulla' Irma there for a second. Thankfully, she got away, and the wounds appear superficial. Irma departed of her own volition at 1719. I don't even want to think about it.... good thing miss Irma can still shake her booty when it counts... 

I can not even begin to tell you how stoked I was to get an ID on yesterday's mystery critter at Rabbit Island. Today, after a long hard observation, it turned out to Be KOLOHE (RW22)!!! I have not seen the boy since his fish hook was removed on 1-23-12. It has been a lonnnnng 36 days. Hooray!  I was worried too... one of the original caretakers from the north shore recently inquired about him... so glad we got an update!

At 1156, Hanauma Bay posse member Ann called with the report of an animal at Toilet Bowl. I spoke with HB posse member Marlon who had gone down there, and called me to report N19 !! When I arrived at 1210 , sure enough there was Kaiwi (RK96) snoozin' near the Toilet Bowl. This kid is getting around.... hitting all the haul outs on the south east side.

Team Billand checked in at 0926 with the report of Kermit (R012) fronting #1707, White Plains.

At 1158 the Billands found R018 at Maili.

At 1216 they found Noa (R6FI), several feet down the beach at Maili.

Dana called at 1658 with the report of Right Spot (R016) on the reef at the Turtle Bay Hotel beach.

Team Billand found 2AW at Hau Bush at 1757.

Irma @ Hanauma Bay

 pretty scary seeing this on Irma... wish we knew where this happened 

 In spite of her close call, she's looking pretty good.

 And this is toilet bowl .... can't believe the little bugger hauled out here

 she's growing up fast 

 KOLOHE IS BACK!

 Kermit @ White Plains... looking fat and happy

 nothing like rubbing your own belly

 did you say FAT and happy?

 6FA R018 @ Maili

 Noa 6FI/6FJ @ Maili
