The Kaiwi search began at 0600, as usual. We were batting zero until 0735 when I lucked out and found her at Crappy Cove, Sandy Beach. Caryn and I would hump many and mile across the water front rocks, headed in a westward direction. At 0818 we found her foraging in a tide pool approximately 100 ft west of the last bathroom, and after losing her for the umpteenth time, found her again , 3 ft off shore at the east end of Sandy Beach, proper. Had posse member Alice been manning her chair at SB, instead of sucking Mai Tais at the Hilton, she would have had Kaiwi right in front of her usual spot. Kaiwi stayed just a few minutes and then we lost her again. She seemed to be heading back toward the east.

 It would be 1017 before I found her again. This time on her regular water front rock perch, 200 yds west of the AD wall. I got her coned and signed off, and she remained the rest of the day with Candace, Zeenat & Patrick doing shifts with help from Gayle and Marilyn.

 There was a dog incident at 1018. A couple and their large breed dog and begun setting up a party site right at Kaiwi's location and the dog was wandering free. I told them about the seal, and of course got the assurance that the dog was no problem. Since the dog continued to roam within the SPZ I asked if a leash could be used. "Ain't Gonna' Happen Man" was the answer (no doubt he is a close personal friend of Vera's lalala man). It just wouldn't be a routine day without at least one asshole jerk ! Sure enough shortly there after the dog wander right up to Kaiwi and the pup headed for the water , but did not depart. They got the dog away and I told them I was calling the cops, Shortly thereafter they packed up their truck , dog and party stuff, and moved a few hundred feet away. There was no further problem.

Zeenat & Patrick reported that Kaiwi entered the water at 1700 , and Patrick last saw her near the AD wall at 1710. Tomorrow ???

 I got a little time at Makai Pier at 0945, and found Nani (RK60) and Duke (RA12) together, 30 ft left of 1BS. At 0840

Team Billand called to report Kermit (R4DG) and Irma (R010) together at Wind Sock.

 Marilyn did her Ka'ena Point trek today, and found 761, a 100% molted Ka'ena (RO40), RIP (RR70) and Noa (R6FI) at the end of the world.

 At 1332 posse member Stacy Stella called to report that she was with Rocky (RH58) fronting the Outrigger Reef Hotel, in Waikiki. Her photos were limited due to Rocky's positioning, but she described Rocky's left fore flipper natural bleach, and her right side mouth, fishing line scar, as well as female belly . Dana called at 1815 to advise that Rocky had departed .

Nani and Duke

 She'ssssss Back! Rocky @ Waikiki

 Kaiwi @ Irma's

 Dog incident... honestly don't understand why people won't put the dog on the leash for the time being. 99% of the folks at the birthing beach were very cooperative.... I guess these two had to keep us from a perfect record.... I feel bad for the dog..... 

 

Kaiwi @ Crappy cove

 Our sweetheart seals... Kermit and Irma 

 So cute they are still cruising together

 Okay this picture may need a little explanation... appears Irma and Kermit very close to the lines... were they hauling out, or leaving?

 I guess they having words.... after all they been spending a lot of time together.
