Out on the west side they were searching for a long time. They saw lots of people, a plane that dropped some objects, Usually they see people skydiving but not today. Then they notices a green line in the water and the jet skis went to it.

They spotted a seal from afar with a brand new coat, two red tags. The seal hauled up on shore, but started to toss its head side to side and up in the air. They've studied seals for a long time and this behavior indicates it has been hooked. They couldn't see anything from a

distance but sure seems like it.  Suddenly the seal perked up, turned and took off. Sadly they were not get an ID on the seal. Possibly sub-adult, two red tags and a new coat.

They waited around to see if the possible hooked seal would haul out again, but they didn't see it again.

They did notice just below was Wakea RP28. They don't know if he was there the entire time or had just landed. They looked him over and

his mouth looks hook free and he acted normal.

Then over by the outfall they saw an adult seal, foraging. There were two snorkelers that were a little too curious and the seal seemed to not like it. Team R&B saw the two snorkelers fly backwards and head up on shore in a flash.

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

Marilyn viewed Rabbit Island from 12:38 to 1:54 pm and there were four seals seen during that time.

Down from the 1BS was an Adult Male: adult size, old coat, no tags seen.

Nearby was a Juvenile Female 1:  larger juvenile size, apparently molted female ventral and two red tags.

At 1:19 pm a Sub-adult Unknown: sub-adult size, two red tags, no info on sex.

About 2/3rds the way between the 1BS and the 2BS was a Juvenile Female 2: larger juvenile size, light female belly and two red tags.

Team R&B had to take their car in for repairs today so they got a late start searching for seals. All the beaches were packed. They did see only one seal foraging today. It was an adult but other than that they didn't have much to work with. Reported as an Unknown Adult.

The only other seal they found today was RP28 Wakea . He was resting alone on the rocks.

They had a very full day between running errands and searching for seals. Their first find today was a seal hauling up on shore. It was RP28 Wakea, and for once nobody bothered him while they were there.

At Kahe they saw RM31 Kai coming in, but there were people fishing on the rocks, so he kept going. He was heading in the KoOlina direction. They were able to get a couple of photos of him coming in from the outfall area.

They saw another seal foraging at the outfall. This was an Unknown Adult with mint green face. The seal never landed.

Next stop was at plains where they found KG89 Huakai peacefully resting on shore. The Lifeguards made a big zone for her after the other day people walking up to her. But today she was resting and nobody bothering her.

Lastly they took a ride out to yoks. They saw a seal from afar but the area is still closed. Then they saw a man in an aloha shirt walk up to the seal who moved up further. Never a dull moment with the poor monk seals.. They described the seal as adult size, green on its coat, not sure of tags. It was too late to make the walk out.

Marilyn viewed Rabbit Island from 12:28 to 2:43 pm and there were four seals seen during that time.

Initially out on the berm on LPB was a Sub-adult Male: large juvenile to small sub-adult size, probably male, two tags, about 35% molted on the ventral side, dorsal still shows old coat.

About 30 feet Lanikai side of the 1BS was an Adult Male 1: adult size, newer coat, probably male, no tags seen. This might be R430.

About 20 feet on the Makapuu side of the 1BS was Adult Male 2: adult size, old coat, male belly and two red tags.

Another 30 feet in the Makapuu direction was Adult Male 3: adult size, new coat, male belly and two red tags.

Team R&B spotted three seals foraging off the outfall. One of the Unknown Adults had mint green face and clean coat. The second Unknown Adult had a clean coat and at one point the two were close enough together they got a photo.  The third seal with the others was

newly molted. That seal finally hauled out and they were able to ID RM31 Kai.

While there Team R&B witnessed another rescue today.

Next they checked out Plains and found a big seal on shore close to the water. It was KG89 Huakai. They were glad they made a quick ID because she left shortly after they arrived. A couple had walked up to her, and the lifeguard educated them, explaining the zone was set up for a reason.
