At 0648 I found Sadie&Pup (D#6), once again at the Waimanalo end of the beach on Rabbit Island. They remained there the entire day, moving down to cool off, snoozin' and chowin' down.

On a pan at 0700 I saw the red tagged hind flippers of an animal just going over the water front rocks of Rocky Right Beach, on RI. Despite constant observation, I was never able to get anymore than that on this critter. Maybe tomorrow ???

At 0753 Gayle called with the report of an animal at Spitting Cave. We would make the Kolohe (RW22) ID at 0810. He was doing 6-8 minute dives.

At 1022 Gayle called with the report of Buster (RV08) at Lanai Lookout. He would briefly depart, but returned quickly.

At 1108 Gayle called again with the report of an animal swimming into the inlet at Lanai Lookout, lookin' and leavin'. It would not be until she checked her photos at 1412 that she saw Kolohe's N33 bleach.

That was significant information because at 1317 Kolohe (RW22) hauled out fronting 1BS, on Rabbit Island.

At 1328 Nani (RK60) hauled out to join Kolohe.

At 1356 Kolohe would reenter the water and at 1406 hauled out at RRB to join the U/U at that location. I was hopeful that Kolohe would help me get the ID, but alas, even with Kolohe's arrival the U/U remained just that.

At 0915 Team Billand reported RIP (RR70) and M&M (R020) foraging and playing off shore of White Plains. They would haul out together fronting #1706 at 1021.

New volunteer Vicki reported Benny (RE74) at Germaine's Luau Grounds at 0930. The Billands confirmed the Benny ID at 1538.

At 1154 the Billand reported Pohaku (RO28) at Paradise Cove .

At 1258 Lesley called with the report of Ka'ena (RO40) at Ka'ena Point.

The Billands found Noa (R6FI) at Maili Point at 1414.

At 1550 the Billands found RB24 at Campbell Industrial Park.

At 1725 Team Billand reported the arrival of Irma (R010) to Tower#1 at White Plains.

Dana called at 1746 with the report of Rocky (RH58) near John Sadowski's house, in Ewa Beach.
