They started their day at pokai where they saw some sharks in the water. There were three of them attacking something. Then they spotted a seal coming in towards where they were. The seal was RG28 Lefty who hauled up on the rocks. He is looking a little thinner than usual, but that could also be because he just molted. They did see he still has the hook and his new CC wound is healing fast.
While still on site they spotted a second seal foraging off the rocks. They couldn't make an ID other than it was an adult. They lost sight of the Unknown Adult and left the site.
Their only other seal was seen when they stopped at plains. They found the lovely Miss Aukai RL12 resting in a zone that was set up by the lifeguard. She seemed to be resting peacefully even with the a crowded beach. Team R&B were happy to see her again.
As a side note, Aukai gave birth earlier this year on Rabbit Island and lost her pup in the surf. Then something remarkable happened where RT90 after being weaned by his mom, decided he start nursing again from Aukai. She didn't seem to mind and RT 90 got really really big after double dipping, earning him the name Manapua.
