They started their day on the very hot west side. Thankfully there were some breezes to help but the heat was almost unbearable, not enough to stop Team R&B.
Their first find at the zen was the lovely Miss Kala RH76. Earlier a friend showed them a man near two seals resting. The male sea lRM31 Kai postured a bit but Kala just laid there. Team R&B believe both Kala & Kai are due to molt any day now.
Team R&B briefly left the area to check another spot, when they returned there were 5 tourists. Once of them climbed down closer to the seals. Team R&B made their way down to see that Kala was very alert.
From afar they saw two seals with a paddle boarder who was aware of the seals. They hurried out to the site and spotted a green male who was arguing with a seal with a clean coat and a tag. They realized Mr. green seal is R3CX Nalu. His natural bleach on the left of his face was visible and made it easy for the ID. The other seal was the lovely Lei Ola RH48. They missed all the commotion of them being high up on the surface, putting on a show. Both separated then he found her and it began again. At one point the seals were near the jetty and there were two tourist in the water.
Next they checked over by the outfall, and it took a long time before they spotted a seal. There was one seal foraging further out and they couldn't make an ID. They could see it had a lot of green on its coat, but they know its not R3CX. It was reported as an Unknown Adult.
