On a top ten list this is by far one of those moments in time. Marilyn had great pleasure watching RK96 Kaiwi playing with her 2018 son RK24 at spitting cave between 10 and 11 am. After they left spitting cave she was able to find them again at Kokee Flats. Mom and son were busy tossing it about in the water. Kaiwi was ID'd by her natural bleach on forehead, natural bleach inside her rear flipper and K96/97 tags. RK24 ID'd by his size, light belly and K24 tag.

Unknown Juvenile Male - located about 20 feet right of the 1BS. Juvenile size, male belly and tags.
Unknown Male - located behind the waterfront rocks near the 3BS. This seal only showed her about 2/3 of its ventral side. She never saw the head or the front or rear flippers. The critter had a lighter belly, but Marilyn thinks it was adult size.
Team Billand was heading to the South West Quadrant when the got a call from a friend about a seal out at plains. They arrived at 6:30 am and found Rocky RH58 by one of the towers. There were signs up and Team Billand made some adjustments. While they were securing Rocky's area they noticed two more seals to the right of the shack. It was still dark at the time, but they called it into the Hotline.
After leaving the plains Team Billand headed westside and spotted two seals at one of the usual hot spots. Team Billand stayed for hours trying to make an ID of two seals off shore. They got lucky and saw Kolohe RW22 applied
bleach. The other seal could not be ID'd and reported as a UU. Neither seal landed, but on their last visit Kolohe had hauled out on lower rock and he was alone.
At another west side beach they found RW02 PvKauai sleeping alone. He was near a beach park with a lot of homeless. Team Billand called the hotline, but did not stay in that they didn't want to draw any attention to him.
