7-12-11 DB Dailies

My first pass through the SE Quadrant was a bust. When I got back to Makai Pier at 0805 I found that Buster (RV08) had hauled out 60 ft left of 1BS on Rabbit Island. He would remain there until 1021, when he entered the water, only to haul out again at the far right end of the beach to briefly interact with Kolohe (RW22). They would both enter the water and I lost Buster. I did not see him again today.

At 0847 I found Nani just hauling out to the Waimanalo side of Left Point Beach at the left end of the island. Shortly thereafter, at 0855 I became aware that Duke (RA12) was there also. The played and swam until 1030. Nani would haul out to that location after play, and remained there all day.

At 1024 Kolohe (RW22) hauled out, 40 ft left of Seal Rock Inlet. At 1030 Buster hauled out to join him, but Kolohe headed for the water and Buster followed. In all the splashing I suddenly became aware that Duke was there also. Duke would haul out 60 ft right of 3BS,at 1051 and Kolohe hauled out at Rocky Right Beach at 1058. I did not see Buster again.

Team Billand called at 0626 to advise that they had found Irma(R010) at KoOlina, in response to a Dera call.

The Billands called again at 0827 to advise that posse member Clay Gates had reported T21M at Iroquois Point. T21M would depart at 0904. The Billands spent 1000 to 1200 with Ewa Girl (RS00) and Pup. They report that Mom and Pup are happy and well. Team Billand checked in at 1442 to advise that they had found Max (R5EW) on the east side of the east end perimeter fence at White Plains.

Dana called at 1638 to advise that volunteer Judy had reported RI37 at Camp Erdman, Mokuleia. Dana called at 1719 with the report of an animal at Access 185A, Ewa Beach, near the Beach Park. Awaiting further word.
