At 0545 I found Kea (RN46) doing his usual leisurely swim in the cove just east of the 100yd rock flats. He was still there when Jason relieved me at 0700. According to the log the kid didn’t do much until the after when he did a swim to his nook and back, hauling out at his usual spot at 1600 at the 100 yd flats. Gayle had some hassles with a couple of throw netter that just didn’t wanna’ play the game, walking through the SPZ with attitude.

At 0755 I found Kainoa (RN04) at the far left end of the beach on Rabbit Island. His new "N0" bleach is clearly readable.

Also at 0755 I found Ewa Girl (RS00), once again at Left Middle Cliff, on RI. She is 70% molted.

Marilyn called at 0839 with the report of an animal at Spitting Cave. Analysis of her photos show RK36, by a partially visible N36 bleach, posterior dorsal.

At 0848 Duke (RA12) hauled out to join Kainoa at the left end of Rabbit Island. Both would remain all day.

At 0640 Team Billand reported Pohaku (RO28) at Secrets.

She would quickly be joined by Kolohe (RW22). He would depart at 0730.

At 0859 Cianna reported an animal at Kalaeloa Campgrounds. Team Billand would confirm the M&M (R020) ID at 0951. She is 100% molted.

At 1056 Cianna called with a report of an animal at would turn out to be Pele’s Chair, after I spoke with the caller. He identified Aukai (RL12) by tag. I saw her there day before yesterday.
