11-20-2013 DB's Dailies: RM38,Duke,Kaiwi,Kainoa&Aukai@RI, Rocky@KK, Kermit&Ewa Girl@WSK, Kolohe&Benny@Maili Pt, RL42@KP, Right Spot@MCBH

At 0705 I found RM38, 50 ft left of 2BS on Rabbit Island. He would move into the water at 1033 and haul out again to join Aukai .

At 0709 I found what would prove to be Duke (RA12) at 3BS.

On my return to Makai Pier at 0912 I found that Kaiwi (RK96) & Kainoa (RN04) together, 80 ft right of 3BS.

At 0930 Aukai (RL12) hauled out to the water front rocks to the right of Seal Rock Inlet. She would be joined by RM38 at 1047.

Gayle called at 1146 with the report of Rocky (RH58) once again at Irma’s Grotto, Kokee Flats, Portlock. Marilyn would also spend some quality time with Rocky.

Team Billand called at 0643 to advise that they had found Kermit (R012) foraging off shore of Nimitz Jetty. When last seen he was headed east. The Billands advised that they had received word that Kermit had hauled out to join Ewa Girl (RS00) at Wind Sock. She had arrived at WSK at 0733.

At 1349 the Billands reported Kolohe (RW22) & Benny (RE74) at Maili Point.

Also at 1349 they advised that one of their posse had called them with the report of RL42 at Ka’ena Point.

Posse member Jen Christian called at 1602. She is the wife of a retired Marine, and having seen the Irma story on da’ blog, said that she would go to check North Beach. She did not find her, but in speaking with the lifeguards was advised that Irma had not been seen again since the one sighting on 11-16-13. The lifeguards did say that they had seen another seal earlier today so Jen undertook to trek the length of North Beach. At 1626 she reported Right Spot (R016). Jen is worth many times her weight in Manapua ! THANK YOU JEN!!!! Really appreciate your taking the time to look for Irma.

Despite lots of looking by Melanie, Marilyn, Gayle, Diane T and myself, today was yet another no Kea day.

Benny.... love the angle of this shot.... makes him look like he has a fat butt.
