Late Monday Post 6/29/26

Team R&B and I had a disconnect last night and I didn't see their email until this morning. Of course I have to post because its all about Momma Rocky and PO11.

Team R&B got to the pup site and there weren't too many people around. The seals were on the rocks sleeping after a feed.

PO11, Rocky's daughter woke up, galumphed to the end of the rocks, turned to look as mama as if to say, I'm going Mom! Rocky sonar went off and woke up to bark at the kid. She didn't stop, PO11 went into the water to explore. Checking out the seaweed, rocks and possibly tiny fish.

Then the kid headed back for another feed on shore. For some reason Rocky suddenly left into the water and of course PO11 followed with joy. 

Team R&B thought there might be another seal further out then closer to the site. The seal never landed and they weren't able to get a photo or ID.

Rocky took PO11 very quickly out of the zone, like 400 feet to the left. An area not protected. So Team R&B helped the volunteer move signs. Rocky kept going for an hour and half. Finally she landed waay to the left by the trees. The group was working nonstop to keep up with her.

Team R&B had a shovel to dig holes which helped a lot. A man who might have been one of the fishers came to help too. Okay finally Mom and Pup went to sleep. Team R&B left at 2 pm exhausted.  They were grateful for the mocha that Hiroko brought to them.
