9-29-2012 DB's Dailies:

At 0545 I found that Irma (R010) was once again at the far right end of Makapuu Beach. I cordoned her off and she remained until 1127.

At 0821 I found Kolohe (RW22) in the Morning Glory, 40 ft left of 1BS on Rabbit Island. He would move down mid morning , allowing the ID, and then moved back up with the rising tide.

Dana called with a Hotline report of an animal just hauling out at Sandy Beach, at 0942. When I arrived at 0953 I found Buster (RV08). He has been hauling out the last 3 days to SB, on his Irma Quest, but usually leave immediately. Today he was an hour late, and he decided to spend the day. The tour buses had a great day ! He has remained all day. I picked up the stuff at dark. Buster remains.

Marilyn and Lesley did a check of the Mokuleia site, as well as a Ka'ena Point trek. On their first look at the Mokuleia site they found R912 at the pup site, but no weaner. They checked all the new locations, as well as looking at the coastline on the KP trek, but did not see the weaner. When they got back to the site at 1408 they found both RL42 and R912, widely separated at the pup site.

At the end of the world, at 1045, Marilyn and Lesley found RIP (RR70), Noa (R6FI), and Ka'ena (RO40).

Ocean Safety called at 1621 with the report of an U/U just hauling out at Sunset Beach. Tony responded and confirmed the Right Spot (R016) ID at 1714.

Zeeny was at Mokuleia yesterday and sent grrrreat RFL42 shots.
