4-22-2014 DB's Dailies: Sadie&Pup,Kainoa,Duke,Buster@RI, T21M@SB, Kaiwi@CW, M&M,R018@WP, RIP@Maili Pt, & Y/N from Kimo S.@KP

It was a bit of an unusual Rabbit Island day. At 0654 I found Sadie & Pup (RB12)(D#19) doing a morning swim session, and Kainoa (RN04) at Right Middle Cliff. When I got back to Makai Pier at 1008 I found Duke (RB12) at the far left end of the beach, and 30 ft away were Sadie & Pup doing a feed. Also at 1008 I found what would prove to be Buster (RV08) at Seal Rock Inlet.

Why unusual you ask ? The "Girl Family" had Rabbit Island all to themselves today. Each and everyone of that cast is the offspring, or the offspring of the offspring of Ewa Girl ! Sadie, Duke& Buster are brothers and sister, and of course Kainoa is Sadie’s pup from last year. Her pup is the newest addition to the Girl Family. Kinda’ neat huh ?

　

At 0922 I was waiting for the arrival of T21M, and sure enough, out he hauls to the Blowhole end of Sandy Beach. I cordoned him off, and he remains. He departed at 1840.

　

At 1103 Gayle called to advise that Kaiwi (RK96) was at China Walls. Her ID was by the natural bleach on top of her head. When I arrived at 1222 she was still there, but the only marker I could see was her small chest scar.

　

At 0654 Team Billand reported M&M (R020) fronting #1708, White Plains.

　

At 0755 R018 hauled out to join M&M within the existing SPZ

　

At 1354 the Billands found RIP (RR70) at Maili Point.

　

In the Yesterday’s News department Kimo Smith sent shots from yesterday’s (4-21) trek to the end of the world. He found Ka’ena, Kolohe, Kerby, RIP, RL42, RW02, RW30 & Temp401 with a left eye injury, at the end of the world.

　

Once again the Billands are workin’ late. Check da’ blog in the morning for their day.

**** got word late in the day from customers that there were TWO seals out on the Moku Nui this afternoon. The Kayak posse had them roped off... so that was good. I have no idea who they were, but I would guess one of them is Aukai.
