At 0530 I
found Irma (R010) waiting for me once again, right where I'd left her last
night. I redid the cordon, and continued on. She has remained all day. This is
her 4th consecutive day, with 3 nights on the beach. She has not left the beach
during this stay. She appears to be completely normal, but I've notified the
office of the situation. Naturally, I'll be keeping an eye on her. I picked up
the rope at 1930. Irma remains.
At 1304 , on my 3rd Rabbit
Island check I found what would prove to be Buster (RV08), 70 ft right of Seal
Rock Inlet. He as remained the rest of the day.
On my first RI check of the
day I found that the 1st Blue "No Landing" sign has now completely collapsed and
is lying face down. Some weeks ago I notified DLNR that the right leg had broken
and that it was cockeyed, and flapping in the wind. "It's not a top priority at
this time" was the answer. Naturally, I notified them of the latest twist (with
photo). Hopefully, the priorities well change, but I have ZERO faith.
At 0735 Team Billand
reported R018 at Maili Point, with 2 others in the water foraging. No IDs were
possible. At 1313 the Billands checked in again with the news that the Maili
Point cast was now R018, Noa (R6FI), Benny (RE74), Kerby (RW08) & RIP
(RR70), all together on the rocks.
At 0901 the Billands
reported Kermit (R012) fronting #1708, and Makaiwi (R4DF) fronting #1706 at
White Plains.

I hope that Irma is healthy and just in need of some R & R. (this is Lauray)
I hope so too Lauray... I was actually thinking she might be resting up before she decides where she going to have her pup this year... especially if she goes off island.. Then again she may decide she doesn't have to go anywhere.
I hope she stays on Oahu. I am so upset at the news of another seal being killed. Methinks that there needs to be stiffer penalties to hopefully deter the idiots who are doing this. (Lauray)
