5-29-2012 DB's Dailies: Kolohe,Nani&Buster@RI, Irma@MB, Kaiwi@AD, Kerby@Maili Pt, M&M@WP, 2AW@NIM

At 0925 I found Kolohe (RW22) snoozin' on the beach front incline, 40 ft left of 1BS on Rabbit Island.

At 1141 I responded to an Ocean Safety call, at Makapuu, and found Irma (R010) waiting for me at the far  right end of the beach. I cordoned her off, and she has remained all day. I picked up the rope and called it a day at 1945. Irma remains.

At 1306 I found Nani (RK60) 50 ft left of Seal Rock Inlet on Rabbit Island. She would be joined by Buster  (RV08) at 1310.

Team Billand checked in at 0920 with the report of Kerby (RW08) at Maili Point.

They next reported 2AW fronting 1945, Nimitz Cottages. He departed at 1900.

At 1107 they found M&M (R020), fronting #1944 at White Plains. She departed at 1830.

I've saved the best for last. At 1005 posse member Gayle called with the report of Kaiwi (RK96) on the water front rocks near the "party tree" at AD. It seems that a fisherman mentioned to Gayle while she was doing a Kaiwi Kove check, that he'd seen an animal at AD.

I immediately notified NOAA personnel, and a capture response was underway. The capture occurred at 1408, and Kaiwi was transported to the Aquarium. X-rays showed that there were no hooks, and she was transported to Irma's where she was released at 1740.
