2-17-2013 DB's Dailies: Buster&Mojo@RI, Kaiwi&Kolohe@SC, Pohaku@PC&Sec, Makaiwi&Benny@WP, 2AW@Trks, R912@GR

At 0705 I found what would prove to be Buster (RV098) up at the vegetation line, 60 ft left of 2BS on Rabbit Island. He would later move down to cool off, and remained there the rest of the day.

At 0745 we found Kaiwi (RK96) doing 7 minute dives at Spitting Cave. At 1137 Gayle would call to advise that there were now 2 animals at Spitting Cave. Analysis of her shots leads me to believe that the other critter was Kolohe (RW22), based on the location of the "N" on his N33 bleach in one of her photos.

At 1026 Mojo (RI17) hauled out to join Buster on RI. He would spend the rest of the day there. It took a while,but the natural bleach on the top, left side of his head, became clearly visible. Unfortunately, the crappy photos don't capture it.

Team Billand called at 0648 with the report of Pohaku (RO28) at Paradise Cove. They would report in again at 1100 to advise that she had relocated to Secret Beach.

At 0756 the Billands reported Makaiwi (R4DF) fronting #1706, White Plains.

At 1321 they reported 2AW at Tracks.

At 1615 the Billands found Benny (RE74) joining Makaiwi at #1706, WP.

The Billands found R912 at Guard Rails, Maili at 1811.
