Marilyn got a text that there was a seal at an east side beach, so she went to check. She spent about a half hour with her. The seal was a young adult female RP20. She was born on Kauai bust was seen earlier this year at white plains and Waikiki. Marilyn thinks this is her first time to this side. She is small adult size,  female belly, P20/P21 tags and a C scar on her left chest, and a line scar on her left neck. She was getting hit by the waves at high tide, but remained on shore.

Team R&B started on the west side and their first find was Miss Kala RH76. They were happy to see
her back. She was hiding in the rocks, which took them a little bit to get her ID.

While with Kala they happen to see another seal. It was swimming by so they couldn't get an ID other than it was an adult. 

Next from afar they spotted a little tiny skinny seal with lots of green and two red tags. So they went over to the rest camp area and was able to ID the young male RV20.

They were making their way to plains but stopped to check out the outfall area. They saw an adult size seal foraging. Once again they were able to male an ID other than an adult size unknown.

They eventually made their way to plains after being in traffic due to afire at Yuens Store. Unfortunately by they time they arrived the seal took off. 

So they went to check another area and to their delight there was a seal. A big male, but not R407, this male had tags. Finally he stretched out and they could read the tags. It's R3CX Nalu!

Marilyn viewed Rabbit Island from 12:28 to 2:22 pm and there were six seals seen during that time.

Down from the 1BS were two seals:

RK24 Bruno: adult size, male belly, small scar on lower lip, a scar on right rear side and two red tags.

Adult Unknown: adult size, newer coat, no info on sex or tags.

About 50 feet on the Lanikai side of Middle Cliff were two seals:

Weaner RV76: larger weaner size, light female belly and two red tags.

Nearby and sometimes touching RV76 was a Juvenile Female: larger juvenile size, old coat, green female belly and two red tags.

Down from the 3BS was an Adult Male: adult size, male belly and two tags.

Near SRI channel was RV50: weaner size, yellow female belly and three red tags.

Team R&B started out on the west side in the rain, but they stuck it out. They met a nice visitor from Washington, who spent some time chatting with them. Then they saw an Unknown Sub-adult, clean coat, NB on its side, unsure about tags. It was busy from the jetty to rest camp side to the harbor back to rest camp. They couldn't make an ID.  The woman who they had been chatting with told them of a dead shark on shore. Going to check it was a small size, and the crabs were already at the carcass.

All the hours they spent waiting for a seal to show up they saw a beautiful rainbow.  They didn't see any other seals, no dolphins, just some turtles.

On the west side they saw a seal with a clean coat and one tag foraging. They believe this seal is Lei Ola RH48. They watched her for about 2 hours noting she had at least one tag. When they went back late in the day she was still foraging, now next to the jetty. They got a photo of her cat4ching a fish.  

At Kahe they found RP28 Wakea alone on the rocks. He was
snoozing  and at peace. Nice to have him in a place where he won't get bothered by intruders.  They also got to enjoy the dolphins doing their thing, as always a joy to see.

Over by the outfall there were two seals foraging. They both appeared to be sub-adult size, one had a lot of green and the other had a clean coat. They were not able to get information on tags or sex, so reported as Unknown.

Lastly they headed over to Nimitz and spoke with two ladies from the cabins. They said the seal had moved further down but was still on shore.  They went to check it out thinking it would be R407, but they couldn't see any of his markers. Then they thought maybe it was KG89. Someone on site said there had been another seal but left before they arrived.

Along their travels today they saw a couple of other beautiful critters; bird, fish and butterfly. Oh the things we see.

Starting their day on the west side their first find was a little green seal hauling up on shore. It landed by by the wall on the rest camp side. It was RV20 who was alone. Immediately people came up too close to take pictures. The Lifeguard cam and put out signs and asked folks not to go too close to the seal. Thank goodness!

The Akule boat was at the outfall/tracks area.. Team R&B noticed

something following the boat and the men were very aware of it. It was a young seal with a clean coat, unsure about tags. Where ever the boat went the seal followed behind. Then they noticed another seal joining in. They were both young but unfortunately they couldn't ID either of them. The boat finally left and so did the seals.

They saw plenty of dolphins, sometimes really busy jumping. They would disappear then back to jumping again. Team R&B shared the fun time with a couple they just met, with lots of cheering.

They got word from a friend of a big seal hauled out at nimitz. They headed over and found Mr. Kawika R407. The ladies from the cabins were delighted and so respectful. Team R&B filled them in on R407 background and stories. They were aware Kawika is David in Hawaiian. The ladies told them they looked like a National Geographic person with boots, walking stick and camera. So sweet.

Back on the west side they stopped thinking there was a seal, but it turned out to be a rock. I know this can happen.... as it often does with me.  While there they scanned the area and did see a small seal far

away on the rocks  They made their way over and studied the little seal, it had tags but the seal kept flipper flexing too much to get a good look. Finally saw the seal had two white digits on the right flipper. It was RU12/U13. Its been a long time since they had seen her.

Still on the west side they walked along the coast line remembering all the seals they use to find out there, now most of them are gone. They

happened to stop for some photos of the waves and they spotted a seal alone sleeping on the rocks. The seal was, Wakea RP28 who got disturbed yesterday. He's okay today and far from tracks where he was yesterday.
