Benny, he is a world of energy, drama, lots of intelligence. He has speed, guts, persistence. He is also very acrobatic in moves, the only seal I know that can do a stand on his tail that is so high,it is amazingly remarkable. He was at Plains, then to windsock, stayed there a while to gain his energy again. It was fun watching him like get a scent. Once he got whatever scent...that seal was going from the water, to land, on the reef, whooping like crazy as if he found something in gold. People watched and wondered, what on earth does he smell. A lady with her baby was at this pond for a while, sitting there in the shallow water. Benny went right to that spot. I teased the lady,"DO YOU HAVE A PERFUME OF SEAL ON". Just kidding mam. Benny continued his searching alllll the way to Plains..AGAIN. But this time, the crowd was bigger and not listening to our pleas to get out of his way. Benny didnt care who was there on shore, it was as if he looked at each person..then stuck his snout in the earth, the crowd just cheering away for Benny's moves. Then, he looked at all one last time, ROLLED all the way back to the water..as if to say.."YOU ALL STINK, Im Leaving". And off Benny went, still bobbing up and down, grumbling. We charged down to Ewa Beach hoping we could get a head of him, but, while out there found Irma snoozing away...ALONE. The sun was setting, it was getting late..I regretfully...LEFT, not seeing Benny again. AWE...We figured it out...WRONG. Perhaps Benny went straight to DB's. OH OH...here comes troubles! Thanks Benny for all the action...it was super great. You are a super seal!! And we love you.Oh Benny, Psst!! Irma was at Ewa Beach, dont let her know, we told you. He. he.
