6-29-2012 DB Dailies: M&M,Pup (D#17),Kolohe&Sadie@RI, Irma@MB, Buster@SC, Kaiwi@LL, 2AW@Elec.Bch, T21M@Kualoa, KC@Mokuleia, Benny@Yokes, Right Spot, 3 Tables

The first order of business was to check Irma's at 0535. Thankfully, Irma had departed . I picked up the signs and continued the adventure.

At 0630 I found M&M (R020)&Pup (D#17), once again at Rocky Right Beach, Rabbit Island. I looked from a variety of locations throughout the day, and they were only partially visible , behind the water front rocks, at best.  

Posse member Gayle called at 0724 with the report of an animal at Spitting Cave. It would prove to be Buster (RV08). He spent the day patrolling from the big rock to the 2nd point, with the occasionaL foray into the bay , no doubt on his "Irma Quest". The boy just doesn't give up ! Gayle and I observed 7 minute dives. Posse member Colleen reported that he was still there, at 1304 as she was doing tour guide duty.

Knowing that Irma was in the area, I was, of course, in maximum Irma Quest mode. I had checked Makapuu 4 times, but on my 5th time, at 0955, as I peered down at the beach, from along side the road, therrrrrrre was an animal rolling in the shore break off shore of the right end of the beach. When the animal began to haul out I headed for the beach, and at 1007 I was cordoning off Irma (R010) at the right end of Makapuu. If you think , for a moment that I have a clue what I'm doing you are sadly mistaken "grasshoppas". There is a gigantic element of BS luck involved here. She has remained the rest of the day. I picked up the rope at 1950. Irma remains.

At 1042 on my 2nd look at Rabbit Island I found what would prove to be Sadie (RB12) and Kolohe (RW22) together, 60 ft left of 1BS on RI.

At 1248 posse member Gayle called to report Kaiwi (RK96) at Lanai Lookout .

Team Billand checked in at 0810 with the report of 2AW at Electric Beach.

Dana called at 0812 with the report of an animal at Kualoa Beach Park. Latest word as of 1339 was that it was T21. Dera confirmed the tag number but accidently deleted the photo , however another shot shows his old transmitter patch

At 0845 Dana called with the report of an animal behind the Polo Field, Mokuleia. The single photo received (thank you Bonnie) would suggest KC (RK28).

Team Billand checked in again at 1201 with the report of Benny (RE74) at 3rd Dip, Yokes.

A email report of Dana advised that Right Spot (R016) was a sighted at 3 Table (Shark's Cove) today, around noon. Thank You Hannah. The photo Dera sent is of no ID value.

There isn't much news from "the back of beyond" in the wilds of Kahuku, but I thought you'd like to know that Ua Malie is 2 years old today !!!!
