6-17-2012 DB Dailies: M&M,Pup (D#5), Kolohe,Noa,Sadie&Kaiwi@RI. Irma@WSK, Ewa Girl@IRQ, Right Spot@Sunset, Ka'ena@KP

At 0620 I found M&M (R020) and pup, once again at Rocky Right Beach, on Rabbit Island. They would move up and down with the tides, and remained at that location all day. I had a bit more observation time in the afternoon with the high tide, so I had a chance to see a few feeds, and watch the pup circumnavigate Mom a few times. All appears well .

At 0855 on my 2nd look at RI, I found Sadie (RB12) on the Waimanalo side of Left Point Beach. She would later move out onto the left end rock flats. She would be visited on two occasions by Kolohe, but had no problem keeping him at bay. She would depart with the rising tide at 1148, and I did not see her again today.

At 0901 I found Kolohe (RW22) and Noa (R6FI) just hauling out to the water front rocks, to the right of Seal Rock Inlet. Noa would remain there all day, but Kolohe was up and down the coastline, through the day.

At 1000 I saw a transmitter, barely visible above the water front rocks, at Noa&Kolohe's location, a few minutes later the bleach on the back became visible. It was KAIWI !! She would remain the rest of the day and hauled out at several locations, mostly due to Kolohe being in hot pursuit. Actually, all interactions with Kolohe were light weight and not at all aggresive. It looked like good clean fun to me. Her last visit to Rabbit Island had been on 5-5-12, and on that occasion she was captured, for fish hook removal, by a bunch of those ugly, smelly, two-legged things,(the critters call us "leggers", and they think we all look alike too), so I wasn't at all sure that I would ever see her at Rabbit Island again. Time may not heal All wounds, but it does heal most. I was stoked to see her back to RI and in the company of others. Personally I think they knew it was father's day so all the young'ens came by for DB.... Nani must of got caught up in traffic.   Happy Father's Day to all you Daddy Os out there.

Team Billand checked in ate 0853 with the report of Irma (R010) at Wind Sock. She would later move up onto the beach. To all who attended Irma. Thank you.....very much ! Irma departed at 1759.

At 0910 Vera called to report Ewa Girl (RS00) at Iroquois Point. Vera called again at 1129 to report her departure with the rising tide.

Dana called at 934 with the report of an animal at Sunset Beach. At 0954 she reported that it was "N6", Right Spot (R016).

Posse member Ken Tingman trod to the end of the world today, and found Ka'ena (RO40) at Ka'ena Point.

In the "Day before Yesterday's News" department, posse member Dennis Kunkel found Ua Malie (RT10) at High Rock, Kahuku. He said she appeared healthy and well.
