Marilyn checked Rabbit Island this morning and was able to ID Kolohe RW22 from his cue ball natural bleach mark on his RFF and male belly. Thank goodness for that bleach mark.Next Marilyn received a text about a seal at China Walls. Marilyn visited the area between 10:20 - 10:40 am and confirmed Kaiwi RK96.
Team Billand once again found RN14 at Paradise Cove, he did his usual swim in the lagoon, he hauls out, barks, back in the water to swim to Luau, back to shore on the left corner. Team Billand spent time keeping folks back and educating. They left at 8 am, they never saw him again during the day.At 9:26 am Team Billand found da Benny and Pohaku at White Plains. Both seals were high up on shore. Life Guards posted ropes and signs. Lots of people out and about at White Plains surfers being respectful when their boards strayed to close... being quick to retrieve their boards. Hotline was notified, bad reception out at the plains. 11:15 am Team Billand had to leave informed hotline, and last heard they were trying to get someone out there.
Tony sent a couple of pictures from Kaimana's last hooray in Waikiki. The NOAA team was out in full force to relocate the buggah to a new undisclosed location. (I also found a clip from Civil Beat showing the NOAA team at work.)Gayle would later in the day find 6 year old Kaiwi at Kokee Flats. Guess she didn't want to hang around Waikiki today. LOL funny how she's back on the east side.
