5-22-2012 DB Dailies:RIP,Kekoa,Kolohe&Buster@RI, Kekoa@MP, Irma@DH, RO28@GR, Kermit,Kerby,M&M@Maili Point, UU@Kualoa

On my first look at Rabbit Island at 0625 I found what would prove to be RIP (RR70) at the left end of the beach. He would enter the water at 1145 and hauled out again at 1200 at Seal Rock Inlet to join Kolohe.

I caught just a glimpse of movement to my left, just outside the breakwater, and when I looked, lo and behold therrrrrre was Kekoa (RK72) 75 ft off the outside of the breakwater foraging, and eating something. I watched him for about 12 minutes before he moved on.

I got back to Makai Pier at 0855 to find that RIP had moved down to cool off, and at 0905 Kolohe (RW22) hauled out fronting 1BS. RIP made a move or two toward him so Kolohe reentered the water at 0918 and hauled out again to Seal Rock Inlet at 0951, where he would remain the rest of the day.

Atd 1022 Kekoa (RK72) hauled out 60 ft right of 3BS on RI. He would remain there the rest of the day.

At 1212 Buster (RV08) would haul out at 3BS and galumph to join Kekoa. Interaction was minimal. They remained there snoozin' together the rest of the day.

At 0802 Colleen checked in to advise that Irma (R010) had once again overnighted at Diamond Head. So far its the 3 day, 2 night package. Colleen called at 1705 to advise that Irma had departed. Tomorrow ?????

Dana called at 0826 to advise of an animal at Kualoa. The photo provided was not of a quality to get an ID.

 

At 1217 Team Billand checked in with the report of Pohaku (RO28) at Guard Rails, Maili. According to my records she had last been seen at Paradise Cove, on 4-29-12.

At 1305 the Billands reported Kermit (R012) and Kerby (RW08) together at Maili Point.

At 1323 M&M would haul out to Maili Point, separate from the boys, however Kerby would later move over to join her.

A Happy 8th Birthday to my #2 son, Mojo !!!!!
