November 7, 2026 Saturday's Dailies

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

Out on the west side they searched for seals. They spent over an hour studying the water, when  they finally saw a seal. The seal was an adult with a clean coat and one red tag. They couldn't make an ID and the seal never landed. They even went back later to see if the Unknown Adult had landed but it did not.
While watching the seal they saw an Iwa bird flying over.

At another west side location they noticed a lot of trash from the homeless that moved out. To their surprise they saw R407 Kawika resting alone on the rocks to the right. He made a long journey back to the west side.  They didn't see any other seals.

Lastly they were out watching the ocean and heard a man yell at them, he needed help. Another person was there and they spoke the same language when Team R&B told him to get the lifeguards. The man
tied some straps to a tree, turns out the guy had climbed down too far on the sharp rocks and couldn't get back up, the straps on the tree were too short.  The lifeguards came, but couldn't reach him in the rocks so they told him to jump in the water and a jet ski came and the man got rescued,  All the man's equipment was on the bench, so Team R&B gathered his drone, cell phone and belongings and brought it over to him when he came in. He thanked them.
To end this day they saw two whales far out by the a boat. They also got to see the dolphins doing their thing.

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

Marilyn viewed Rabbit Island from 12:32 to 2:37 pm and there were six seals seen during that time.
Arriving on the Lanikai side of LPB at 1:22 pm was a Weaner Female: weaner size, light yellow female belly and at least two red tags.
About 50 feet on the Lanikai side of the 1BS was RK24 Bruno: adult size, male belly, couldn't see the tags.
About 10 feet Lanikai side of the 1BS was an Adult Unknown:
smaller adult size, old dark coat, not sure about sex or tags.
Between the 1BS and 2BS was RV76: larger weaner size, light female belly and two red tags. RV76 was gone at 1:46 and was not seen again.
About 40 feet on the SRI side of the 3BS was a Juvenile Female: large juvenile size, yellowish-brown female belly and two red tags. This might be RU38.
About 2/3rds of the way between the 3BS and SRI was likely RV50: weaner size, light yellow female belly at least two tags probably three
N81 applied bleach behind LFF.

Team R&B spent a long time looking for seals. Finally at Kahe they spotted RP28 Wakea on the rocks. He barked at something, went to the other end of the rocks. By the time they got over, he cam back up on the rocks and went to sleep.

They got a late call of a seal at plains. Although it was late in the day
they went to check it out. When they arrived there was R3CX Nalu on shore.  They also saw a boobie fishing off shore, lots of people were watching. Shortly after arrived Nalu decided to leave heading west. They knew where he was heading but they didn't have time to go check it out.

November 5, 2026 Thursday's Dailies

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

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!
