September 29, 2026 Tuesday's Dailies

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

On the west side when they arrived at their first location they saw  a seal hauling in and galumphing to a rocky area. There on shore was RH76 Kala and RM31 Kai, the seal arriving was R617.
A fight with lots of whooping went on for at least 20 minutes. In the end R617 left and Kala and Kai remained.  (Definitely reminds me of Irma, Kermit and Benny). 

From afar they saw a small sub-adult size seal with green on it coat at Tracks. The waves got to it and Team R&B weren't able to get an ID. Reported as an Unknown Sub-adult.

Then at electric beach they saw am Unknown Adult with lots of green, on shore by the rock that Kaale used to sleep at. People were out and the seal was very aware of them..
Team R&B couldn't' make an ID and weren't sure of tags. It was a male they though maybe R3CX but couldn't be sure, so it goes in as Unknown Male.

Last stop they took note of the sky looking quite beautiful and the little pine trees getting bigger. Then they found R407, who had lots of visitors today as Team R&B watched. He left, pooped, pee, then he
hauled out again about 20 feet to the left of his original spot.

September 28, 2026 Monday's Dailies

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

Marilyn viewed Rabbit Island from 12:06 to 1:34 pm and there were four seals seen during that time. 
Initially there were two seals on the Lanikai side of LPB: 
Recent weaner RV76; large weaner size, light female belly and two red tags.
RV50; smaller weaner size, female belly, three red tags and applied N81 bleach on left side.
There were two more seal in the middle of LPB:
Juvenile Male: weaner to juvenile size,  at least two tags and light male belly,
And Molting Adult Unknown; adult size, old coat, not sure about sec or tags, but probably male, and about 15% molted on the upper chest.
The JM moved down closer to RV76 and RV50 and then all three relocated together on the LPB. One of the three was well hidden behind the other two.

Team R&B started their day with the couple on the west side. Once again the very cute couple RM31 Kai and RJ76 Kala were together keeping each other company. The surf was high and they were still there. They remind me of  the old days with Irma and Kermit.

The surfers were out, there was a young guy trying to get to the surf, but thee waves were big. He went around got in the water and surfed/ Team R&B were a little worried for him but the best part he made it safely back to shore and gave them a big shaka.
Then they got a call of black smoke makaha side. They saw a fire and flames, thick black smoke. Thankfully someone call HFD and they put it out.

They got a text from posse pal Caril of two seals aat KoOlina, but they left since there were so many people. At Kahe Team R&B stood and watched the dolphins they spotted RL20 Kalua passing by. He never landed.


Then they got another text of a seal on shore at nimitz. They got to the area and found Mr. Kawika R407 alone and resting. While on site they spotted a wee skeleton (Halloween is around the corner)
They were thrilled to spot another seal. They couldn't tell much so they had to goo down the cliff and there on shore was Makalii R416. He was  alone resting. They hadn't seen him since RL70 passed. R517 is looking good with green on his coat.

September 27, 2026 Sunday's Dailies

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

Once again starting their day on the west side and finding the two love birds together again. Kala RH76 and Kai RM31 were hidden in the rocks sound a sleep.  Team R&B rechecked on them three times during the day and they were still there. Except later moved to the shallow pond for a snooze together.

When they first arrived at rest camp in was morning and dark making
it hard to see the seals in the water. The sun popped up a bit and they saw R3CX Nalu chasing an unknown sub-adult. Still unable to get an ID on this young'en with a clean coat.  They also saw Lei Ola briefly, she took off to open ocean and the other two followed leaving Team R&B stranded.  They waited for a while but none of them came back.

They kept scanning beaches from afar and saw a really green adult seal on shore. They headed over to the area, which is kind of "sketchy". There was a homeless guy throwing stuff, so they stayed
away from him. Anyway on shore alone was a male with a green coat. They believe it's Nalu and they think he's starting to molt. He molted here last year. 

As they drove along the coast they spotted another seal who also had a green coat. It is a male and tags they could see the tag RL08. They had never seen him there before. He's looking big and green! They were surprised to see him.

As a closing note Team R&B (and I agree) they are happy and relieved Hurricane Nolo kept going away from the islands. Today was beautiful, less wind, no rain and sunny skies.
