Marilyn viewed Rabbit Island from 12:29 to 2:36 pm and there were five seals seen during that time.
MO3 and PO3 were in the water when she first arrived. She saw them a few time in the LPB surge channel. They hauled out about 1:05 pm and PO3 then nursed before going into snooze mode. PO3 is getting noticeably bigger.
RF34 Pu was on the waterfront rocks between 3BS and SRI. The pup was hidden behind her for Marilyn's entire visit. She managed to get one photo of PO4's flipper flex behind Pua.
At 12:55 pm, Marilyn became aware of a seal in front of RF34. At first she though it was PO4, but it was not. The seal hauled out and moved in the Lanikai direction. It turned out to be a Juvenile Female: juvenile size, light female belly and two tags. Marilyn was surprised that Pua did not act aggressively toward the JF.
Email from Tammy on her last full day on Molokai. She and posse pal Liz went searching for seals and they only found one male RKB2. He is one of Right Spot's off spring.
Team R&B arrived at pokai and realized that sometimes the seal blend in so well with the rocks that they don't see them. Thankfully there was a flipper flex that made them aware. They spotted RH76 Kala and then RH32 Kaale. They could clearly see his line and hook today.
They felt as though RH76 Kala wanted to move from Kaale, and eventually she did. She moved to her zen area and Kaale slowly galumphed over to her.
There were a couple of surfers coming, so Team R&B let them know about the seals. They were super respectful, which always feels good.
Heading over to Kahe, they saw a seal from afar. They got closer to ID RM31 Kai alone on the rocks.He kept looking around, and Team R&B looked to see if there was anyone or anything around. They only saw a bicycle but no one was there.
They went looking around and saw a fisherman. Then they noticed a second seal had arrived with RM31 Kai. They hurried over and there was little brother RP30 Puka.
