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

They were out in the morning not having any luck finding seals. They made it to the outfall and there was their mystery unknown adult foraging in the big sets. The surf was huge and awesome. They still could not come up with an ID for the unknown.   

They did get to enjoy the dolphins that were out, of course having fun in the surf.

They made it plains and found one seal on shore. It was the lovely Huakai KG54. She got hit good a couple of times by the waves. She then moved further up shore. Lifeguards said the surf was going to get worse, bigger and dangerous. They had jelly fish signs posted, but that didn't stop people from going in.

Out at Nanakuli the waves had gone over the road with big coral

rocks. Makaha by old Cornets, surf coming over Makaha valley road. The road is now closed.

Makaha surfing beach was wild and still had surfers out.  It got really windy and the sand blasted them.

There weren't anymore seals to be found.

September 6, 2026 Sunday's Dailies

Sorry for the late post, I was out last evening and forgot until now.  Saturday's dailies are brought to you by Team R&B💕

Team R&B's first find was RU22 in a different spot at rest camp. She was snoozing in a zone with signs and tape. It was difficult to see her since she was on a slant, so they walked to the far right to get some photos.  

Next they headed over to plains and found RT06 Marvin at the surf
shack area.  To the left of RT06 was R407 Kawika. R407 was in his own zone set up for him. He decided to move all the way up after the waves hit him hard. Team R&B hurried to move the signs back, the waves were so powerful it knocked signs down. All the signs were picked up and moved.

Once again at the outfall was the mystery seal foraging. The seal is adult size with lots of green, and two red tags. Team R&B thought this might be R3CX Nalu, but can not be sure. Reported as an Unknown Adult.

September 5, 2026 Saturday's Dailies

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

Marilyn viewed Rabbit Island from 12:27 to 2:31 pm and there were three seals seen during that time.

Again on the Lanikai side of LPB was weaner PO13: large weaner size, light female belly, not yet tagged/

About 1/3 of the distance between the 3BS and SRI was a Juvenile Female: juvenile size, old coat with lots of green, female belly and two red tags.

Out on RRB was RP24 Mohala (RF34 Pua's 2021 female Rabbit

Island pup) adult size, new coat, female belly with some apparent scars and the nb on her LFF. She also appears to have a small nb on the tip of her RFF. She looks healthy and Marilyn was happy to see her.

Team R&B's first find was on the west side near the rest camp. It was a clean adult size seal foraging. They could not come up with an ID.

The place was packed with people.

On their way out of the area they thought they saw a seal. When they went to look they were surprised to see RU22, female born on Molokai in 2025. She is looking a little thin but okay. There were people near her, so Team R&B walked over to talk with them and call the hotline.  They got to their car to park at another spot and by the time they got out they saw a volunteer finally putting up signs. 

Next they headed over to plains and the place was packed, especially

with Access Surf there.  There was RT06 Marvin resting in a zone, with a telephone pole on shore. He used it to lean on for security like KP2 in 2009. 

Lastly they checked other beaches and didn't find any more seals. But they did see dolphins way out doing what they do best.  The surf is big and dangerous.
