October 11, 2025 Saturday's Dailies

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

Marilyn went to Ka'ena Point today with a friend. They saw six seal on their venture.
On the beach in front of Camp Erdman was R407 Kawika: adult size, very old coat, male belly, no tags and scar on head. It appears he will molt any day now.
At the ponds they found RU04 "Reef" high up in the rocks: weaner size and shape, female belly and U05 tag.
While at the ponds RU12 "Poli" came swimming in and hauled out not far from RU04. RU12: weaner size and shape, U12 and U13 tags.
When they returned later RU04 and RU12 were near each other and then moved into the water where they "played". Marilyn watched them for about 20 minutes before heading out.
At BG's pool was RW02 PvKauai hauled out and asleep. Adult size, old coat, male belly and several tags. He was in the same position when they passed by later.
At the point there was RG32 on the rocks off the mail pool: adult size,
older coat, male belly, scar on right forehead. Marilyn suspects he will molt in the next month.
Later they saw R420 Kaipo up on some rock to the Mokuleia side of the main pool: adult size, newly molted, male belly, no tags, white muzzle.

Team R&B started their day at pokai. They did not see Kala today. But they did see the lovely couple foraging on the ocean side. There was Lei Ola RH48 and Nalu R3CX out there, at times by the the jetty. It was a little worrisome since there were lots of fishers out with their poles.
At  Kahe they found big boy RH32 Kaale. He was alone resting looking quite green.
Over at the outfall there were two seals foraging. One had a lot of green and the other had a clean coat. Team R&B couldn't make an ID on either of them.

Over at Tracks Team R&B spotted RP28 Wakea on shore. He is about 90% molted and initially he was alone resting peacefully. Bu then some folks showed up, one guy with a huge lens on his camera. But I guess he needed to photograph the sand fleas because he got really close. RP28 was aware of his being there looking up at them.

While out searching, Team R&B did get to enjoy the dolphins doing what they do best. At one point a mama jumped up and looking quite big.

Lastly they made their way to plains. There was KG89 Huakai on shore looking beautiful. There were signs and ropes set up for her, but that didn't stop one kid from walking right up to her.  Team R&B called out to him.
