November 30, 2025 Sunday's Dailies

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

Their first find this morning was Kai RM31. He was alone resting on the rocks near the zen area. 

He left the area, and when Team R&B checked back later in the day he was back. He was alone nice and dry.

There was dangerous surf out there today. Lots of people watching and concerned about a fisherman on the jetty. The waves were big and covering the jetty and he was still there. They kept saying he should leave or going to get washed out. Well that nearly happened, the fisher quickly squatted down to hold

his gear and keep himself from getting washed off. Finally after two big waves crashed on him, he left. OMG

Team R&B spotted Kala RH76, they were impressed that she stood up to the giant surf. She hauled all the way up inland and held her ground. She stayed the whole day snoozing with the waves slapping at her.

They spotted a seal in the water. They ID'd RG32 since the seal was molting. He hung out for a big then disappeared with the big surf. Guess it wasn't a good day for foraging.

Much to their surprise they saw a little seal creeping along the water line rocks. It was RU12, she finally made it up to her spot at the zen area and went right into snooze mode.

After covering other areas, they came back to recheck and found RL20 Kalua chasing little RU12. Team R&B felt for the poor little one, she kept galumphing away from him. 

They ended up in a different spot and settled in for the day. Team R&B stuck around since there were lots of people out and about.

Just as they were leaving a very nice family they met yesterday, called out to them. They were so happy to see them again and expressed how grateful they were for all the

information Team R&B shared with them. Of course Team R&B brought them over to see RU12 and RL20 giving them even more information.  It always feels good to get nice words of appreciation, especially when they deal with so many difficult folks.  I will say Team R&B have my utmost respect and appreciation for doing everything they do day after day!

November 29, 2025 Saturday's Dailies

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

Marilyn viewed Rabbit Island from 12:18 to 2:19 pm and there were six seals seen during that time.

On LPB were four seals:

Closer to Lanikai side of LPB was an Adult Male: adult size, gray male belly, not sure about tags.

RU38: weaner to juvenile size, yellow female belly and two red tags.

RK24 Bruno: adult male, medium gray male belly, two red tags scar on lower lip.

Adult Female: adult size, medium gray female belly at least one red tag.

Between Middle Cliff and 3BS was a Sub-adult Female: sub-adult size, medium gray female belly, not sure about tags.

Near SRI channel was Weaner Unknown: weaner size, older coat, yellow belly, two red tags. not sure about sex.

Team R&B made it to their first stop and no seals showed up for a

long time. Finally the foragers start to show up. First to be ID'd is R3CX Nalu, then RM31 Kai. They spotted RL20 Kalua out there busy foraging. Later on in the day he hauled up on the rocks and immediately went into snooze mode for the rest of the day. They also spotted Miss Lei Ola RH48 out foraging.

While they were looking for seals and trying to make IDs they got to talking with a nice woman and her  kids. They offered to help by letting them know if any other seals arrived.  

Well sure enough another one arrived. Team R&B returned to the site and there was little RU12, hurrying over the rocks, like she was in a big hurry.  She is a cutie patootie!

They also saw the boats out on the waters and two whales near by. There was also a kayaker out there and the whales got close, exciting but worrisome. 

Much to their delight they spotted another seal coming in. It was the lovely RH76 Kala. She took another spot to hided out for the day. She is looking big and healthy.

Team R&B got a text from a friend about a seal on shore at Makaha. They headed over to the site and there was RL42 Leina.  Someone had put up a couple of signs.  Then a huge Honu hauled up next to RL42.

She seemed freaked out about it coming up by her, but she stopped galumphing and stayed. 

They stopped to check one of the other beaches and there was another seal. It was R416 Makalii, no tags, cc scar under his belly.

They saw a few signs out on the beach at yoks but there was no seal. They walked around and out to the shore line and there was RG28 Lefty. He was covered in sand.

Lastly they headed back to check to see if RU12 was still around. They were so happy to find RU04 now with RU12. The two weaners hanging around together.
