Starting out on the west side and it took them a bit to find any seals. They saw a woman yelling and then she yelled at Team R&B. They saw a seal scrambling over the rocks and ponds making a get away. The woman told them the seal was in danger, stuck and trying to get out, it was trapped. Team R&B explained the seal was not stuck and she should leave it alone. That she scared the seal. The woman was high and just kept yelling, so the poor seal took off to open ocean. Team R&B saw it had a tag, but they couldn't read it, just that it was adult size. Team R&B were so upset and tried telling her not to go down to the seal, don't yell at it, that seal was trying to come in and rest from the big surf.  A police chopper flew above them, and she asked if she was going to get busted. Team R&B said yes (lol) that the seals are protected by the State and Federal Laws. That what she did was not right, leave the seal be.

Still on the west side they spotted a "blimp" on shore. It was weaner RV20 Pohaku. A woman walked within inches of the seal to pick up shells. So they hurried down, and the seal came right up and a wave washed over it. Seems he is going to settle in for a bit.  There were so many people passing the area, surely driving Team R&B crazy.  They eventually left the area and RV20 remained on shore.

Then they headed over to Makaha and found Nalu R3CX on shore. He was alone resting and not a sould around. They noticed he has begun his molt.

Team R&B made their way to paradise cove where they found a seal in the rocks. It was well hidden from people. They had a hard time getting an ID but they believe this is RL12 Aukai.

At the outfall they saw an adult seal foraging. It was alone and they could not be sure if it was a male or female or if it had tags. Reported as an Unknown Adult.

Their last find of the day was at nimitz. On shore resting was Kawika R407. They could not see if he has started his molt yet.

Weekend coming up, there are poles and buckets already out. They'll check to see if R407 remains there.

Starting their day on the west side they were delighted to find RV20 Pohaku. While being thrilled to see him they worry about the area with so many transient folks in the area. He is so cute and little. His other tag is V24. 

They stayed with him for 2 and half hours watching out for him during the heavy rains. It was humid, dogs and people hanging

around. One tourist came by saw the seal and walked right up to him. oh well.

Then they spotted Miss Kala RH76 and Mr. Kai RM31 in the rocks resting peacefully. Thankfully there was no one around to disturb them, at least for now.  The rain returned so Team R&B headed for the car.

What they thought would be the last find for the day Mr. Kawika R407. He was alone and resting. But.......

They got a very late text of two seal hauled out at plains. They weren't that far away so they headed over and found Miss Huakai KG89. She was with a big make, no tags seen. He was sandy and green on his coat. They thought it could be RN14 Kalani but just couldn't confirm.

September 30, 2026 Wednesday's Dailies

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

Marilyn viewed Rabbit Island from 12:21 to 2:13 pm and there were five seals seen during that time.

Initially alone on the Lanikai side of LPB was R416: small adult size, mottled male belly, no tags. This could also be R430, but Marilyn believes the ventral marks look more like R416.

Nearer the back of LPB was a Sub-adult Unknown:  sub-adult size, light belly, no info on sex or tags.

Later R416 moved nearer to a Weaner Unknown 1, and then entered the LPB channel. A short time later Marilyn saw R416 near the SU who had moved to the Lanikai side of LPB.

In the middle of LPB was Weaner Unknown 1: weaner to juvenile size, no info on sex or tags because the seal never changed position.

On the 1BS side of LPB was a Sub-adult Female: sub-adult size, about 30% molted, female belly, no tags seen.

Out between the 3BS and SRI was Weaner Unknown 2: weaner to juvenile size, no info on sex or tags.

Team R&B first find on the west side was the lovely Miss Kala RH76. She was alone today and hidden in the rocks. 

Then they spotted a tiny seal on shore way up by a rock. A guy who had got close to Kala for a photo was now near the little seal.  Team R&B saw the tag RV20 and  didn't recognize it, also an applied bleach N50. Checking in with the posse they learned this little male was born in January to mom Kaimana RJ58. They were so excited to meet this

new little guy. Team R&B notified the hotline of RV50s location and that there were dogs in the area. Thankfully Team R&B was able to ask them to hold the dog because of the seal, one guy did but the woman wasn't able get the smaller dog. They passed by Whew!

They got a text from posse pal Carol of two seals at the cove. So they headed over to check it out. The two seals were way up on shore by the bushes. There was RP28 Wakea and RL20 Kalua. Posse pal Carol put out signs and stayed to keep an eye on the seals. Mahalo!

They decided to check nimitz and there was R407 Kawika. He was in the same spot as yesterday resting comfortably. They couldn't see if he begun his molt, he was too sandy.

Team R&B made their way to plains and saw a seal that had them a little confused. They saw the scar under belly like Makalii and RP28, but then they saw a tag. They were surprised to see it was RH92 Nalani. She looks clean and shiny with her recently molted new coat. Then they noticed her right head scar, scar under belly and the other CC scar on her flipper. It's been a while since they have seen her.

Heading back to the west side to check on Kala. When they got there she was gone, but there was a smaller green seal. They thought it was RM31 and they were right. He finally showed his tag. They wondered what happened during the time they were gone.  There were some tourist who came by taking photos of RM31 Kai, and became very aware of them and left the area.

They took a chance to see if there were any seals at another west side location. There was a big male, with lots of green on its coat. They believe this is R3CX Nalu. They didn't stay in the area long as the area is kind of sketchy. Thankfully the seal was fine and resting peacefully.
