August 24, 2025 Sunday's Dailies

Todays dailies are brought to you by Marilyn and Team R&B💕

Marilyn viewed Rabbit Island from 12:55 to 2:45 pm and there were six seals seen during that time.
Initially on the middle cliff of LPB were two seals:
TempN25: sub-adult size, new coat, scar above LFF, no tags.
RU38: older weaner size and shape, tan female belly and two red tags. Originally Marilyn thought this was a juvenile, and possibly could be.
On the 1BS side of LPB were two seals:
A molting Sub-adult Female: sub-adult size, about 20% molted, female belly and at least two red tags.
Nearby was a Sub-adult Male: small sub-adult size, older coat, tan male belly and two red tags.
In the Middle Cliff area was recent weaner RU48 (or RU64): chubby weaner size and shape, light male belly and two red tags.
At 1:08 pm a weaner hauled out of the Lanikai side of LPB. This weaner labeled RU24: older weaner size and shape, two red tags and light tan male belly.

Team R&B started off at pokai observing two seals foraging off the rest camp side.
They ID'd the greenish seal as R3CX Nalu with RH48 Lei Ola who has a clean coat. They managed to get a photo of the two of them together and you can see R3CX's bleach mark on left side of his face.
They waited but the duo did not land during their stay.

Next stop they went to check on Miss R604. She was just coming out of the water after a swim. Of course she had some people pass her by.  She continues her molt, probably about 40%.

Heading over to Kahe they found RL20 Kalua resting. Soon after a couple of guys came by to toss a net. As RL20 got ready to take off, Team R&B noticed a big hook. It
appears to be stuck in his neck. They also saw something dangling, which could be a fish or bait. He was on the move so they didn't know for sure.

Team R&B's last find today was an adult seal. They didn't see the tags, or if there were any. They thought it was RL42 Leia since she was in the area yesterday. Just today she didn't give them much to work with.
