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

Marilyn viewed Rabbit Island from 12:14 to 2:21 pm and there were five seals seen during that time.

Initially near the back of LPB was a Sub-adult Male: chubby size, clean coat, light male belly, not sure about tags. This seal moved to the rocks on the Lanikai side of LPB and then moved into a channel in the rocks before disappearing. The chubby size of this seal reminded Marilyn of super-weaner RT90 who nursed successively on two mother and was very pudgy.

Around 2:12 pm one of the three weaners hauled out on the LPB channel and moved up the beach. Marilyn isn't sure which of the weaners this was. Also she did not see the other two weaners today.

MO10 and PO10 started out among the Middle Cliff rocks where the pup was nursing. Then the pair disappeared and later showed up among the waterfront rocks down from the 2BS where they hauled out and the pup nursed again.

Out on the back side of the SRI channel was a Sub-adult Female who was partially hidden: sub-adult size, yellow female belly unsure about tags.

Team R&B had a decent day today. Out on the west side they saw a seal on electric beach from afar. It was a male and they thought it might be RP28 Wakea. They could see two red tags, a cc scar under belly. all from afar. Then suddenly a second seal hauled in and the two had words. The other seal was adult size, but it left before Team R&B could get to the location.

They made their way over and waited around for a while. Another seal

hauled up but further to the right near the jetty. So they headed over to get a good look and it was the lovely RU22. This green Molokai female was looking just fine.

Then they saw another seal further away so they made their way over and it was a male with two red tags. People were getting close to the seal. It took some time but they finally noticed a scar on the "ankle" area. That's when they realized it was RP28 Wakea, who had moved over. They also noted they had heard he was on Molokai last week.

Their last stop they were surprised to find the lovely RL42 Leia. She

was resting on the opposite of side of where she normally goes. The area is full of mud, rocks and debris. She's a big girl and looks good.

They were happy to see her, and needless to say they had quite a workout today.

Last but not least they spotted two turtles resting, one had a tumor near its tail.

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

Marilyn viewed Rabbit Island from 11:58 am to 1:04 pm and there were seven seals seen during that time.

Near the LPB channel and nearby beach, Marilyn believes to be the three weaners. Initially she saw PO4 and PO5. Later PO3 moved out of the channel and up onto the beach. They all seem to be doing fine. Marilyn saw a tag on PO3, not sure about the other two.

On the waterfront a short distance Makapuu from the 3BS was a Juvenile Unknown: larger juvenile size, not sure about sex, but probably female and at least one red tag.

MO10 and PO10 were hidden during Marilyn's early viewing but she ultimately saw them among waterfront rocks down from the 3BS. Later they moved up futher and PO10 nursed until Marilyn left.

Team R&B were out on the west side again and today they were thrilled to find RH76 Kala. She's back! She was hiding as she always does, keeping herself hidden from the boys.

They also got to enjoy the dolphins today. They weren't too active nor did they stay long. 

Team R&B got a text of a seal hauled up at plains. Of course they headed out. There near the cabins was RT06. He was alone today in a zone set up for him. He is really putting on weight since they first met him This is a good thing. 

That was it no more seals for Team R&B.

June 6, 2026 Saturday's Dailies

Well it doesn't happen often but there were no seals to report today.  

Marilyn did not go to the pier and Team R&B got skunked. 

They went and checked all their usual spots and didn't see any seals at all. Lots of people but no seals.

Seems the seals are busy checking out other parts of the island. Hopefully they'll be back to the west side.

Team R&B got word from their friend that there were no seals seen and was leaving. But eagle eyes Barb spotted a small seal hiding, and called out to her friend.  Hiding was RU12 and she is looking very green. They believe she'll probably molt soon.  When they did a check later in the day she was still there. 

Next they stopped at kahe pavilion and found the lovely Miss Aukai RL12. She was somewhat alert with all the divers and swimmers going out. The lifeguards put out signs, but some people just don't pay attention. There were some that were respectful of the signs and Aukai. 

After watching Aukai they went to watch the dolphins. There were a lot of them out today. They mostly kept their distance from the snorkelers who were trying to get close to them. Shame!

Team R&B went to check other spots but did not find anymore seals. But..... they did find the escaped goats pigging out on the grass.

Marilyn viewed Rabbit Island from 12:02 to 2:08 pm and there were seven seals seen during that time.

Out on LPB near the LPB channel there was initially one small seal which Marilyn now thinks was a Juvenile, although she initially thought it was a recent weaner. Then one recent weaner did show up. At 1:30 pm two more recent weaners hauled out of the LPB surge channel. So there were four small seals, three recent weaner and a Unknown Juvenile. They ultimately moved somewhat apart from each other and went into snooze mode. 

A short distance Lanikai side from the 3BS wer MO10 and PO10. They initially were in the nearshore water and not until much later they hauled out to nurse down from the 3BS. Marilyn did see a

softball size natural bleach on the lower rear left side of MO10. PO10 had an extended nursing session.

A Sub-adult Female seal was nearshore between the 3BS and the SRI channel. Marilyn only saw this seal briefly. It was gone by 12:pm and not seen again. Marilyn thinks this is the same SF that was near the SRI channel on Wednesday.
