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

Team R&B started their day at Pokai and waited for over an hour with no sign of seals. They spotted a seal way out coming in. They were able to ID R3CX Nalu, who quickly disappeared. They never saw him again. Meanwhile there are still signs up warning of polluted water.

Over at Kahe they found two seals on the rocks. Kai RM31 was to the left and RG32 was to the right. RG32 was in the same spot as yesterday.  Along with the seals they saw some dolphins doing what

they do best, having fun.

Checking out the outfall they spotted multiple seals foraging. Team R&B spent quite awhile studying the seals to get their IDs. They were able to ID RH48 Lei Ola, RL08 and an Unknown Adult. 

While spending time studying the seals they got to see the whales put on a show. Although the whales were further out they got to see an amazing breach.

Team R&B spotted a seal hauled up on shore at tracks. All was good,

no dogs, but then people showed up. Team R&B couldn't make a positive ID on the seal they think it is a female, but not sure. Reported as an Unknown.

Lastly they took a ride out to yoks. They found one seal on shore, no signs up but lots of tracks from a quad. The seal is a male, no tags, ding on left shoulder and a natural bleach spots on right by flipper. They believe this is R427, who is difficult to ID. Last time they saw him he was very green and going through his molt. This male is newly

molted.

Sadly they were upset that the lifeguard passed on his quad close to the seal. At one point it was close enough that the seal postured with its mouth open. Maybe the lifeguard was responding to something.

December 23, 2025 Tuesday's Dailies

Todays dailies are brought to you by Team R&B💕 and posse pal Kathy O.

I received an email from Kathy today noting that R427 may have returned to Iroquois Point. It looks like he still has some old fur on his flippers, leftover from his molting last week. Thankfully he is in a different location further away from the crowds.

Team R&B first stop at pokai they were surprised to find RG28 Lefty alone in the zen area. Which made they wonder where was Kala?  

They did see R3CX Nalu foraging. He was alone as usual filling his belly. At one point they thought there was another seal but they didn't see any signs of it again.

Checking out Kahe they spotted a seal with applied bleach N32. Turns out it is RG32, on the other side of his body it looked like there might be another bleach N80. They confirmed RG32 by seeing his tags.

Out by the outfall area there was a party going on with so many seal out there. Team R&B took over 450 photos they were able to ID only a couple of the seals. There was RH48 Lei Ola, and RL08. Aukai RL12 was seen and she did her best to stay away from all the

insanity.  They also ID'd RP28 Wakea by his start burst scar.  They saw an Unknown Female fighting with another seal. Female has green snout with red tags. One of their photos shows four seals chasing each other.

Going back to Kahe there was a big male seal on the rocks. It was partially in a small pond, and they were able to big boy RH32 Kaale.

Then they saw a seal foraging at the pavilion where a lot of the divers go out. The seal had a clean coat, and they believe it was RM31 Kai.

He was going after something in the shallows. He was blowing bubble by the rocks then rose to the surface. The snorkelers were close by watching him RM31 are whatever it was and left the area and header towards the outfall.

Lastly Team R&B watched from afar as a young seal arrived at electric beach trying to haul out. There were lots of tourist with kids and they got too close to the seal. The seal barked at a little boy.  One would think they would back off. One lady was brace enough to told all the people to move back and give the seal some space.
