April 1, 2026 Wednesday's Dailies

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

Team R&B started their day searching the west side. Their first find was R3CU. They confirmed he was one of the U/Ms from yesterday. This morning he was alone resting at the zen zone.

Next find was like hitting the jackpot, there were three seals basking in the sun all together. They eventually moved away. The trio was RP30 Puka, R617 and RH76 Kala.

At kahe they spotted a seal hauling up on the rocks. They were able to ID RG32. They noticed the akule
boats were getting ready to lay net near the outfall. A lot of the folks in the area don't like them scooping up all the fish.

They decided to check out plains where they found and I quote " the big bum bu cha was on shore again". It was KG89 Huakai and she is enormous. No one knows of her pupping history so who knows where or when she will pop. But lets hope its someplace better than white plains.

At another south west location Team R&B spoke to a netter who said he

saw a seal and told them where. They went to check and at first didn't see anything but scanning the area they spotted a small seal. They headed out and at first thought it was N45, but it wasn't this little seal had bright red tags T06/T07. They didn't recognize the tags. So they checked with the posse and Marilyn filled them in. RT06 was born in 2024 to RL42. They had never met this little male. Needless to say they were in heaven.

March 31, 2026 Tuesday's Dailies

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

Marilyn viewed Rabbit Island from 12:44 to 12:52 pm. She had a very short session due to a rogue wave that hit the ocean side of the pier, drenching her and all her gear. Thank goodness Marilyn is okay and the folks at the pier came to check on her.

In the few minutes of viewing there was one seal on island. Between the 3BS and SRI was a Juvenile Female: larger juvenile size, older coat, tannish female belly and two red tags.

Team R&B s started their day finding two seals on the west side. The first seal was in the seal inlet, an
adult male. They tried to get and ID but just couldn't come up with who this might be. At one point they thought maybe R3CU, but reported him as an Unknown Male.

The other seal was also a male and was to the right. He did not move at all, they couldn't see if he had tags. He did have lots of scaring and scratches on the right side of his face and another deeper scar. They thought maybe R617, but again can not be sure. He was also reported as an Unknown Male.

Next stop at kahe they found RG32. He was alone on the rocks and very alert. There were some folks that arrived and were loud.

They decided to check out plains and when they arrived to find the two royal fat females.

There was Miss Huakai KG89 and the other beauty RL12 Aukai.

March 30, 2026 Monday's Dailies

Starting their day searching the west side. Their first find was RL20 Kalua. He had just hauled in at seal inlet near the zen area. They noted he has a lot of scars around his mouth, probably from all the hooks over the years.

Next they found Kai RM31 at Kahe. He was alone resting on the rocks.

They spotted seals fighting and foraging off the outfall. They ID'd one seal as RL08. He spent some of his time attacking a dive float. The other seal with him was RN14 Kalani. They saw the scar on the right side of his head.

Then much to their surprise RL08 heading towards the rocks. They headed over as he landed and hauled up to RM31 who was sleeping. RM31 woke up barked at RL08 and then they settled.

From afar they noticed a seal hauling out at tracks. As they were going to head over to try and make an ID, the adult seal turned and went back into the water. There were people to the right filming and a man with a big dog on a leash. Team R&B aren't sure what caused the seal to leave, all they could determine it was an adult.

Team R&B got a text of a seal at plains. So off they went and when they arrived they saw one seal. It was R407 Kawika resting with the waves washing over him.

Team R&B got word from posse Hiroko of a small seal at KoOlina. After looking at the photos they

realized it was N45 aka Temp 402. Team R&B usually don't go to KoOlina because its so crowded and people don't listen. But today their N45 Na'au was there so they went.
