At 0708 I found what would prove to be Kaiwi (RK96), 50 ft right of 3BS on Rabbit Island. Mark would get an N19 bleach and girdle across her posterior dorsal (butt).

At 0711 photo tour posse member, Alex called to advise of 2 animals swimming in near shore waters at the Blowhole end of Sandy Beach. While I found nobody when I arrived, I went to the far east end of SB, and there I found Buster (RV08) newly hauled out. Witnesses said there had been a 2nd animal but it continued to swim to the east. I cordoned off Buster and he remained all day. He would depart at 1915.

From the Makapuu Overview, at 0841 I found what would prove to be Mojo (RI17), partially visible at Rocky Right Beach. The ID would later be confirmed by Mark.

At 0848 I found Aukai (RL12), 100 ft right of 3BS. Aukai had a problem today. NOAA has forebidden my commenting , due to investigation, and one must be a good little team player, must'n one. Know that Aukai is healthy and well. Thank you to Tracy, Mark, Sean, Jesse & Michelle for the response.  We just keep our fingers crossed that it all plays out....  

When I got back to the pier at 0848 I found Kaiwi and Kolohe (RW22) playing off shore of 3BS. Kaiwi would haul out to 50 ft right of 3BS. Kolohe would haul out to Rocky Right Beach, to join Mojo. Mark would later get an "N33" on Kolohe.

Team Billand called at 0707 to report Makaiwi (R4DF) and M&M (R020) at #1707 White Plains. Makaiwi would depart at 1815.

At 0932 Dana called to advise of animals at Kualoa and Hauula. At 1105 Sean confirmed the R5AY ID at Hauula. Diga sent much appreciated photos.

At 1340 Diga confirmed the T21M ID on the animal at Kualoa. Once again, thank you Diga for the shots, and just being there.....again !

At 1010 Team Billand reported Pohaku (RO28) at Paradise Cove.

Diane Pike called at 1107 with the happy news that she had seen Duke (RA12) on Molokai today, in the company of 8 other animals. Thank you Diane for the shots!!
