6-7-2012 DB Dailies: M&M@RI, Irma&Buster@KK&SC, Kaiwi@LL, Kerby&RIP@Maili Pt, Benny@Sec.Bch

NOAA's Birth Prediction schedule showed today , as M&M's (R020) due date. While that wasn't quite right, she nevertheless showed up at Rabbit Island, fronting 3BS this morning. I found her humongousness waiting for me at 0604. It would be 1103 before she finally allowed me to see her right side, upside down N23 bleach, but show me she did. She remained all day, and was the one and only RI resident today. The photos are crap but I assure you it was M&M.

Marilyn and I did a 1700 RI recon, and M&M was still at 3BS, and still alone.

At 0836 posse member Linda called with the report of two animals swimming & foraging off shore of Irma's Grotto, Kokee Flats, Portlock. At 0846 she would confirm the N21 bleach on Buster (RV08).

At 0917 posse member Gayle confirmed the N3 bleach on Irma (R010). Both would haul out to the Grotto. The high tide drove them off the rocks at 1441.

Gayle called at 1730 to advise that Irma and Buster were together at Spitting Cave.

At 1045 Gayle called again with the report of Kaiwi (RK96) at Lanai Lookout.

Many, many, many thanks to Gayle, Kathy & June for being on it today. My back started talkin' to me this morning, and when backs talk, you listen. Thanks guys ... Ya' Done Good !!! Looks like the girls did double duty... they were looking out for the seals.... and the seal whisperer!  Thank you ladies!

At 0902 Team Billand found Kerby (RW08) at Maili Point.

At 0943 they found Benny (RE74) at Secret Beach, KoOlina. They reported that he departed at 1003.

At 1353 the Billands reported RIP (RR70) with Kerby at Maili Point.
