4-29-2012 DB Dailies: RIP&Nani@RI, RO28@PC, Kermit@KR, Right Spot@Shark's Cove, Irma@IRQ, 2AW@Rest Camp, Noa,Kerby&Benny@Maili Point,Kaiwi@SC


The Elves and I looked high and low on the Kaiwi/Irma Quest in the SE quadrant, but found nothing, though good news would come a bit later.

At 0649 I found what I'm reasonably sure was RIP (RR70) at Rabbit Island. I clearly saw his dorsal transmitter scar, and a single right red tag. Conditions were poor today, so there is a possibility of an "oops" tomorrow, but I'm pretty danged sure it was RIP.

At 1202 I found Nani (RK60) newly arrived to 40 ft left of 1BS. Both would remain all day.

Team Billand reported RO28 at Paradise Cove at 0735. I heard Jan&Gerry's name as well as Diga, in conjunction with Pohaku duty. If there are other unsung heroes, Thank You !

At 0845 the Billands found Kermit (R012) foraging off shore of Kermit's Reef. At 1002 he hauled out to spend the day.

Dera called at 0933 with the report of an animal at Shark's Cove. At 1411 Kelly Girl reported that it was Right Spot (R016). Thanks to Hanna & Kelly Girl for duty. Again , if there were others, thanks again !

At 0940 the Billands advised that Clay Gates had called them reporting Irma (R010) at Iroquois Point. Thanks to Clay, and Vera Cober for Irma duty. This marks the first time since 3-13-12 that Irma has been west of Diamond Head.

At 1211 Team Billand reported 2AW at Army Rest Camp, in Waianae.

At 1313 the Billands found Noa (R6FI), Kerby (RW08) & Benny (RE74) together at Maili Point.

At 1644 Gayle called to advise that Kaiwi (RK96) was at Spitting Cave. When I arrived I found her doing 8 minute dives.

Tony relieved me at 5pm at Pardise Cove. He got the luau shift and had to deal with a turtle abuse report. Diane

What happened to the turtle???? We see them touching feeding all the time. Did some one hurt it???

Thanks all for taking care of Pohaku..it's quite a place to take care of a seal huh? So many people come by and especially in the later hours, like near sunset. Luau people come in from 600 to 1,000 people...all the time. Its tuff if the seal is on sand..not too bad if on the rocks...

Help is so appreciated guys, thanks and god bless.
