February 8, 2026 Sunday's Dailies

Todays dailies are brought to you by Team R&B💕  Believe it or not they were out there today, against all of us suggesting they not risk it. But there is no stopping them. (bless them).

Today was one of the more dangerous days with strong winds and heavy rains all day. 

There first stop they found Miss Kala RH76 resting in a different spot and she was alone.  They didn't stay long. There was another woman out on the beach and took some photos. Team R&B left as it was cold and windy.

Then they found a little seal high up by a wall. It was snoozing and barely moved. They waited around to see if they could get an ID. The little one had no tags and hardly any markers. 

There were roof shingles flying about from nearby homes. and tree palms flying by, not to mention the sand blown over the seal. They couldn't determine who this little one, even if it was a male or female.  It was probably good resting by the wall, kind of protected from the flying objects.

Next they found a seal on shore at Makaha. It was RW02 PvKauai alone and resting. His tag was visible, but they noted a dark spot on his lower lip and wasn't sure if it was always there.

From afar they saw a seal on shore at electric beach. They did not go down (smart move). They seal was hauled up high by the parking area. They reported it as an Unknown since there was nothing to make an ID.

Last stop before calling it a day was at Kahe. There was RG32 and to his left was RM31 Kai both resting.

They saw a mother hen protecting her five little chicks.  Also saw that a tree went down by Tower 40.

They got word of a seal hauled out at plains. So they headed over and found the seal R3CX Nalu hauled out right in front of Access Surf.  The Access Surf folks were out there to the right. The Lifeguards were putting another set of signs out because now a second seal arrived.

The seal to the front of Access Surf was Nalu R3CX and he didn't care, just snoozing away. There were lots of people out cheering on the surfers.

The second seal was RL12 Aukai. She was very alert and kept looking around. She eventually settled

down. The lifeguards made one large zone to protect both seals from being bothered.  Someone mentioned to Team R&B that at other sites where the seals haul out, they never put out signs. 

It was a cloudy, rainy and chilly day. Too bad the skies were so grey, because Team R&B saw the whales out there.  They were able to get a couple of shots.

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

They started their day at pokai where they found Miss Kala RH76. She was there alone resting peacefully in the morning.

But later in the afternoon, a man had to go up close and personal to talk with her. hmmm. Team R&B kept asking the man not to get close to stay 50 feet away. He didn't listen just went closer and Miss Kala reacted. Team R&B were happy she scared him enough that he moved away. He continued to gesture and talk with her. 

They could see from afar there was a seal on shore at electric beach. They couldn't make an ID other

than it was a male. They couldn't stay as they were on their way to check on three seals. The seal was  reported as an Unknown Male.

Team R&B got several texts of three seals on shore at plains. When they arrived the seals were all resting in a big zone that set up by the lifeguards. To the left was RJ06 Aka, in the middle was R3CX Nalu, and to the right was RL12 Aukai. Needless to say Team R&B was thrilled to see the trio.

As a side note, they had reported a RJ01 the other day. It has been confirmed that seal is RJ06 and his J07 tag is worn out and looks like a one. 

Team R&B took the time and explained to the lifeguards how special Aka is to Marilyn who looks out for the seal on the east side. That DB named Aka after Kimo Lyman's nephew a water man. The lifeguards appreciated and thought it was cool.

The headed back and rechecked Kahe and found RK72 Kekoa Alii with RL20 Kalua. The two of them were on the rocks snoozing.  They did check electric beach, but there were no seals.

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

Marilyn viewed Rabbit Island from 12:32 to 2:22 pm and there were two seals seen during that time. Marilyn wasn't planning on going with frequent passing clouds and brisk winds, but the weather for the next couple of days doesn't look good.

Almost directly down from the 3BS was a Sub-adult Male: large juvenile to small sub-adult size, two red tags and light male belly.

Out near the RRB surge channel was a Sub-adult Unknown: probably sub-adult size, light ventral, no info on sex or tags.

Team R&B started the day at Pokai. They spotted Miss RH76 Kala resting alone.  They were happy to see another seal. It was little RU12 snoozing on land, then moved down. Her coat was dirty, like she had rolled around in the dirt. 

At Kahe they found the very handsome Kekoa Alii RK72. He was resting comfortably.  Next they found RG32 alone at his spot.

Next they made their was to white plains where they found Miss Aukai RL12. She was near tower one, but the Lifeguards were scrambling with the signs and ropes moving them around. Aukai settled by the fence line. Team R&B noted there was a half eaten fish, she may have thrown it up.

Team R&B thanked the lifeguard for their quick reaction to provide some protection for Aukai.  One of the lifeguards shared that he had worked on Midway.
