July 29, 2025 Late Dailies from Tsunami Tuesday

Before we were all warned of a potential tsunami hitting the islands Marilyn and Team R&B were out doing what they do. I did not get to the blog last night in that I had evacuated my home for most of the evening. 

Marilyn viewed Rabbit Island from 12:37 to 2:32 pm and there were five seals seen during that time.

At first there were only two seals visible on the rock flats near SRI:

Adult Female: adult size, new coat, light gray female belly, scar on lower neck, two red tags.

Unknown Sub-adult: sub-adult size, older coat, at least one red tag, unknown sex.

At 12:41 pm, an Unknown Juvenile hauled out onto the rock flats on the Lanikai side of LPB. The UJ is larger juvenile size, old coat and at least one red tag. Marilyn never saw its belly so sex is unknown.

At 1:04 pm Recent Weaner 1 hauled out Lanikai of the UJ and then ultimately moved to the LPB side of the UJ.

Five minutes later Recent Weaner 2 hauled out onto the rocks near LPB. RW2 then moved onto the LPB. After a while RW2 moved back to where RW1 was.

Team R&B saw two seals at Maili Beach Park. Both were covered in sand and green. The Female was looking thing with only one red tag. They weren't sure who she was but ruled out RL70 since there was just one tag. 

The male was huge, with no real scars or markings and no tags. They stayed for a while trying to make and ID but just couldn't especially with so much sand.

At plains they found KG89 Huakai resting near tower one. She is

looking a little thin and was ID'd by her gray tags.

By tower 2 was Lei Ola RH48 resting. She looks like she's put on some weight looking a little thicker.

Their last stop at Kahe they heard snorkelers yelling "seal seal". Team R&B saw an adult seal swimming by fast, no id could be made.
