8/26/2017 Monk Seal Dailies: Pohaku (RO28), Kekoa (RK72), RN14, Ka'ena (RO40), Squinty (R330), and Kolohe (RW22)

Today's Dailies are brought to you by Team Billand, Mrs. Whisper, Gayle and Diver Pal Paul.  We got some cool underwater video of Kolohe cruising around Lanai Lookout.  

Team Billand began the day by finding Pohaku RO28 out at the plains, where it looks like she might have spent the night. She was in a quiet spot no one there to disturb her.

Their next find was Kekoa initial he was alone at Maili. He was resting to the right of the rocks and would later be joined by RN14, who approached cautiously.  Both boys were still there past 1:00 pm.

Mrs. Whisperer did the Ka'ena Point Trek solo from the Mokuleia side. At 08:12 am she found Squinty (R330) at 10 min beach and he remained there on her way out.  R330 was ID'd by line scar on head and scare above the LFF, male belly with several scars and no tags.

Initially there were no seal at Ka'ena Point but at 09:40 am she spotted a HMS coming in from the rocks outside the main pool.  RO40 was ID'd by chipped tag, N9 applied bleach, pit scar on back and scar on forehead.


Gayle spotted 3 U/Us on Rabbit Island.... once again no possible ID, just a guess that maybe they might be Kawena, RG32 and Aka.... but again just a guess.

Most exciting is was email from diver pal Paul with some underwater footage of Kolohe ID'd by his cue ball bleach mark. '
