At 0700 I found Kaiwi (RK96) doing 7 minute dives at Spitting Cave. She was gone when Gayle did her afternoon check.
At 0923 I found what would prove to be RIP (RR70) on the far left end of the beach, on Rabbit Island. His dorsal transmitter scar was clearly visible but the shots left much to be desired. He would remain all day. RIP had last been seen by the Billands at KCG on 6-10-13. His last visit home to RI was on 4-1-13.
At 13289 Kainoa (RN04) finally hauled out to Left Greenery, on RI. He too stayed the rest of the day.
Team Billand called at 0605 to advise that R018 had overnighted, fronting #1708, White Plains.
They would call again at 1030 to report that volunteer Jean had called them to advise that M&M (R020) had hauled out to join R018. R018 would depart at 1643, and M&M followed at 1656.
Happy 1st Birthday to Aukai !!!

Thanks to Jean for taking watch with R018 yesterday and finding M and M joining him in the same perimeter.
Miss M is a slut already...sorry...she been with RIP the most, Kermit, Benny, R018 and Buster. Of all five males, she really digs....RIP RR70. They have a special bond...then Kermit is next. BUT She really dont like Benny so much and she tolerated RO18, really adorable to witness what monk seals romance is like.
R018 stayed from the day before from 7:27pm to yesterday 4:43pm. So the bugga had a really nice rest, a fling with M and then, HE LEFT...heading westerly. He tried his best to force M to leave with him, BUT SHE SAY...NO.
M finally left just 10 minutes later, also heading westerly.
Wonder who will JOIN M this am? She is a pretty lady, also teases the males alot, rolling on sand, showing her DA KINE. And the males all dig her advances, her flirtatious looks. So I think RIP WILL BE....DA DADDY this time...again.
I think just about every summer, RIP IS RIGHT THERE WITH...M.
