Marilyn viewed Rabbit Island from 12:38 to 2:00 pm and there were six seals seen during that time.
On the 1BS side of LPB near the waterline was MO3 and PO3 seemed pretty active moving around mom.
As the tide rose, MO3 moved up the beach with pup close behind. Both mom and pup seem in good condition.
Between 1BS and 2BS was a Sub-adult Male: sub-adult size, older dark coat, medium to dark gray male belly, and at least one red tag.
In their usual place on the 3BS side of Middle Cliff were RF34 Pua and her pup PO4. The pup was hidden behind Mom for the first 45 minutes of viewing, when PO4 moved around to the front. Later Pua moved up with the rising tide and pup followed and tried to climb onto mom's head. Both Mom and pup seem healthy.
On the rock flats Lanikai side of SRI was an Adult Female: adult size, grayish green female belly and two rest tags. There may have been an upper chest/lower neck scar.
Team R&B started their day at Pokai where they spotted one seal foraging. It was Nalu R3CX alone and no drama today. They did not see any fishing line or gear. He did not stick around for long as they lost sight of him.
They made a quick stop at rails and found RP28 Wakea. His coat is looking minty green and they saw his tag. They did not stay in the area.
At another west side location they found three seals, all resting peacefully.
First seal they ID'd was R617 Kimo, he was on the water front rocks. Resting by R617 was R3CU. Last there was an adult size seal with
one tag. They couldn't read the tag and weren't sure who the seal was so it was reported as and Unknown Adult.
one tag. They couldn't read the tag and weren't sure who the seal was so it was reported as and Unknown Adult.
They made one last stop to Kahe where they found RP30 Puka alone. He was resting on the rocks with his tags showing.
