Marilyn viewed Rabbit Island from 12:20 to 2:25 pm and there were three seals seen during that time.
On the Lanikai side of LPB were two seals:
Weaner PO4: weaner size, shape and coloration. Marilyn never got a direct view of the ventral, but she is deeming this PO4 because PO3 was in the Middle Cliff area.
Sub-adult Male: sub-adult to adult size, older coat, male belly two red tags. Marilyn is reasonably sure this is the same seal with PO4 yesterday.
Near the beach in the Middle Cliff area was Weaner PO3: weaner size, shape and coloration and very light male belly. Marilyn noted she thinks PO3 is smaller than PO4.
Team R&B first find was at pokai. There they found RH32 Kaale at the zen area alone and resting. He is looking nice and fat and there were no signs of any hooks or line.
Then to their delight there was big fat Kala RH76 at her spot resting. A strange guy came walking down towards her. They told him to keep his distance and thankfully he walked away. They noted Kala is looking healthy and fat, no new markers on her.
Over at the outfall they saw a green seal foraging. Then they lost sight of it. They checked the area and saw that RL20 Kalua had hauled out. He is looking quite green and was resting on the rocks.
Then they spotted a seal, also very green, foraging by the snorkelers at pipes. Then they lost site of the seal. When they went to recheck on RL20, they saw a seal hauling up next to RL20. RL20 wasn't happy barking at the kid. They ID'd RP30 Puka, who continued to haul up anyway.
Then they happen to see an adult "green" seal foraging off by the restcamp area. The seal was too far out and it was later in the day. They reported the seal as an Unknown Adult, althought they thought it might be R3CX since he's often seen out there.
