At 0647 I found Sadie & Pup (D#5), once again at the Waimanalo end of the beach on Rabbit Island. I observed several feeds during the day, and several trips up and down from the water line. Unfortunately, any wet time is completely hidden from me behind the water front rocks. I don't believe there has been anything but just keeping wet at the shore line.

Also at 0647 I found Kaiwi (RK96) just hauling out to Rock Right Beach. She would move to the back of the beach, but would later move down to cool off.

At 0657 I found Kolohe (RW22) in the Morning Glory, 40 ft left of 1BS on RI. He would galumph toward Sadie & pup at 0702, but bark from mom turned him away and he made a hard left and entered the water. At 0729 he would haul out to join Kaiwi at RRB. They would remain there the rest of the day.

At 1014 Zeeny called with the report of Buster (RV08) at Spitting Cave.

At 1114 she would call again, this time advising that Buster was hauling out to China Walls.

At 1255 Kimo called to advise of a animal at Spitting Cave. It would prove to be RK36.

At 1204 Team Billand reported RIP (RR70) at #1707, White Plains.

At 1400 they found Noa (R6FI) at Maili Point.

Sean checked in at 1440 with a report from a caller at the "Pops" surf break in Waikiki, reporting a animal in the line up, with the last number "7", on either a tag, or a bleach (RA37/N17). Either way, we both believed that it was very probably RA36, but ?????

Lesley called at 1442 to advise that she and Diane had trod the upper east side and reported T21M, and RL54 at Turtle Bay, KC(RK28) at Kualoa Beach Park, and R5AY at Kualoa Point.

Team Billand called at 1543 with the report of Benny (RE74) hauling out to join RIP at White Plains.

Late afternoon DeraMail brought news from Justin that Makaiwi (R4DF) is confirmed on the Big Island. She was last seen on Oahu, at the Moana Surfrider Hotel in Waikiki on 3-7-13. Amazing ! She has this routine going.... makes me wonder how and why she goes back and forth. ( I know she swims there... I mean how she knows which route to take.... what motivates her to go that far....).
