10-4-2012 DB's Dailies: Aukai,Duke&Kolohe@RI, Irma@IR&MB, Buster@LL, M&M@WP. Rocky@OCC, RK36&KC@MCBH

Irma (R010) was waiting for me at 0545, having overnighted at Irma's. I redid the cordon, and she remained until somewhere between 0907 and 1049, when she departed. I found her again at Makapuu Beach at 1400. Witnesses said she had arrived at 1330. There were no calls. I just happened to find her on my 1400 recheck. She has remained at MB the rest of the afternoon.

At 0719 , from the Makapuu Overview, I found Aukai (RL12) just hauling out to Rocky Right Beach, on Rabbit Island. She was only visible from MO. She was still there on my 1436 recheck.

At 0729, from Makai Pier I found Kolohe (RW22) and Duke (RA12) at Right Middle Cliff, RI. They were not visible when I returned to MP at 0936. I did not see them again today.

Posse member Gayle called at 1533 with the report of Buster (RV08) at "Buster Flats" just east of the Lanai Lookout.

Team Billand checked in at 0705 with the report of M&M (R020), once again at the showers at White Plains. She would thankfully depart at 1445.

Dera called at 0759 with the report of an animal at Outrigger Canoe Club. An afternoon email from Lesley forwarded a confirming photo (probably from a fellow Facebookie) of Rocky (RH58).

Colleen was , of course there, to see to the needs of her biggest "problem child". Evening Colleen mail said that Rocky snoozed through sunset, and paddling practice.

Dera checked in again at 0928 with the report of RK36, and KC (RK28) at Fore Hase Beach, MCBH. This is KC's 3rd day there. Dera forwarded confirming photos.
