1/29/2018 Monk Seal Dailies: Rabbit Island Critter, Right Spot R016, Rip RR70, Kolohe RW22, Kekoa RK72, Kalani RN14, Lei Ola RH48

Today's dailies are brought to you by Team Billand, our posse pals Gayle and Vicki. 

Vicki was at Turtle Bay today and although she didn't see any Hawaiian monk seals she did send some photos of some peculiar golfers on the course. She also found some grub that young monk seals so enjoy eating that it usually explodes all over their whiskers and we all go scrambling wondering if they have a fishing line coming out of their mouth.

Posse pal Gayle spotted one critter on Rabbit Island. She also spotted Right Spot R016 this morning, from Gayle's comment it sounds like Right Spot got her second antibiotic shot this morning and took off shortly after. Good, let hope this is all she needs and she'll be back to normal. 

Team Billand out on a Leeward Beach found Rip RR70 hiding in the high rocks alone. He barely moved the entire day.  They also noticed Kolohe RW22 midway trying to position himself. He did make it down to shallow water hole.

Next they came across Kekoa RK72 on high rock to the right galumphing higher up by Kolohe. He was up there until Kalani RN14 started arguing in the waterhole with Kolohe RW22.  Kalani came up and galumphed by Kolohe in the water hole, a small argument in the water, Kalani won but he decided to bug Kekoa.  In the end, Kalani glaumphed pass Kolohe and Kekoa in his own shallow hole for the day. (Just like little boys!)

At a different beach on the Leeward side Team Billand spotted a sparkling belly, glistening in the hot sun, hmmmm it was Lei Ola RH48. She was on the wrong side making it hard to see the hook, (of course). Eventually, after patiently waiting while sitting in the sun they spotted her tags and she flipped over. Her appearance is normal, weight is great, belly plump, coat in good condition, but still has that dam hook. Seems she needed some alone time away from the boys.
