February 11, 2026 Wednesday's Dailies

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

Marilyn was finally able to get to the pier to view Rabbit Island. She was there from 12:24 to 2:15 pm and there were four seals seen during that time.

Slightly Lanikai side of the 1BS was Adult Female 1: large adult size, presumably pregnant, chubby female belly, scar on lower neck area. She did not see tags today, but she may have them. 

Almost directly fown from the 3BS were two seals:
Sub-adult Female: sub-adult size, yellow female belly and two red tags.
Juvenile Female: larger juvenile size, yellow female belly and two tags. The JF has a line scar or a bleach line on her left shoulder.
Alone near the SRI was Adult Female 2: adult size, two red tags, mottled gray female belly.

Team R&B first stop was at Mahaka where she met up with the woman who put out the signs. On shore was Temp 402 looking thin, with his rib showing.  Team R&B did their best to educate the people who came out to look.
There was a turtle with a wound to its left fore flipper, two barnacles on its shell and possible crack on the right side. They called it into the hotline, hoping they would send someone out.
While still on site they saw another seal hauling out. They hurried over to find RG32. They were hoping he would stay with Temp 402.

At another west side location they found three seals. They first ID RH76 Kala, then RW02 PvKauai and
then the adorable RU12.
At Kahe they found RL20 Kalua alone and resting.

Then Team R&B decided to go check out plains. They immediately spotted a large green female with one tag, hardly readable. A wave hit the female and she put her to flippers in the air and that's when they were able to ID RH48 Lei Ola.  They were so happy to see her again,
and she is looking quite large.
Then there was "two timer" R3CX Nalu was with Lei Ola and not with Aukai today. LOL.  He certainly makes the rounds.
Team R&B saw a third seal further down. They went to check and it was the lovely RL12 Aukai. She was alone and resting peacefully. Maybe she's enjoying her time away from Nalu.

At their usual morning stop there was the one and only Miss Kala RH76. She was alone resting on the edge of the rocks. Team R&B did take the time to appreciate a beautiful butterfly.

Next they headed over to Makaha hoping to see the unknown juvenile. After an hour of waiting they moved on. When they got to a different area there he was the U/J who is known as Temp 402. He has a natural bleach ball on his right lower side.  Next to him was RG32.
All was good they even saw some turtles, but then the humans showed up. The turtle was able get some limu until the waves washed him off the rocks.  
People getting close to the turtles to get pictures. There were signs up but the woman just walked by the sign. Team R&B went over and talked with her to explain. They had to do it several times when people were getting close to the seals.

From there they headed over to Kahe where they found two seals. RM31 Kai was alone on the rocks. On the rocks to the left was R617.

From afar they kept scanning for seal and just before they were ready to leave they spotted one. It was RP28 Wakea surrounded by people. 

Lastly they got word of a sand hauling out at plains. By the time they arrived from the west side, they found two seals together on shore. There was a zone set up for them by the lifeguards.
There was Miss Aukai RL12 with her guy Nalu R3CX. They were both resting peacefully.

They headed over to Makaha and initially there were no seals. But then they spotted a Unknown Juvenile sleeping alone on shore.  There was a visitor that was concerned there was something wrong with the seal.
They were able to determine this little one is a male that was recently seen on the Ka'ena side.  Team R&B have seen him at yoks as well. He has no tags and they noted a scar on his chest. The wound on his hind flipper is healed but covered with sand. He's a little skinny and needs to put on some weight.
While on site they heard a lady call out seal coming. They saw a very large male haul up with the Juvenile Male. They didn't see any tags and though maybe RG32 but didn't see his applied bleach. They just couldn't be sure who this male is, so reported as an  Unknown Male. He went over by the J/M and then galumphed passed him and went to sleep.
Then they got word there was another seal. So they went over by the lifeguards and found RU40. He looks good and no new markers seen.


They went to other areas and didn't find any seals. So they decided to return and now saw three seals on shore. There was RP30 Puka who was with the Juvenile Male and the Adult Male. They were all snoozing in peace.

Team R&B got a message earlier of a seal arriving at plains. At that time they were busy, but finally made out out later in the day. Well there were two seals on shore now.
RL12 Aukai was with R3CX Nalu. (maybe he'll be the baby daddy). Both looked comfortable and cute together. He kept checking on her, it seems he did something that made her react like she was laughing.
