First...The day started early heading out to the NS.<br />First stop was in Waialua to check on RB24 “Hauupu”, on my way I received photos sent by Tia and also by Trish – that has had the honor to have the seal on her beach path. Similar to what some of you may recall a couple of years ago ”Rocky” in Colleens garden @ .<br />The girl is hanging around and very ready to molt. She goes for a short swim or two during the day and hauls out back there.<br />Thank you Trish & bob for letting us use your house to access the beach, for taking so good care of the girl and sending in daily reports.<br />Big thank you also go out to Tia, that’s had been daily out there checking on the Waialua and Mokuleia seals, doing outreach with all the neighbors and a fun hiking pal !! <br />Second stop, joined by Tia, was in Mokuleia to check on RN58 “Luana” that was swimming in and out of coves towards KPt side from birth beach. <br />We hiked out to the point, spent a lot of time doing outreach and Q&A with visitors/hikers, while watching RR70 “Rip”, RK36 “Kauai Kolohe” and RO40 “Ka’ena” in the main pool. Ken was there and as usual very helpful doing outreach. <br />We met a big group with lots of very small kids, that hiked out wearing pink for Cancer Awareness month. We also met Mason his brother and parents. He’s a cub scout and the hike was part of his project for environmental consciousness he’s part of Pack 166 Den3<br />A little further we found RW08 “Kerby” totally undisturbed in a deep sleep<br />Those 4 boys are getting ready to molt.<br />Four hours later, on our way back from the hike, we found RN58 “Luana” in a deep- deep sleep on Mokuleia Beach, passed the rock wall barrier.<br />We stopped back in Waialua to check on “Hauupu”, before wrapping it up and splitting the group.<br />Aloha, L.<br />Lesleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01831787603093711745noreply@blogger.com
