10/16/2014 DB's Dailies: T990@MP, Kolohe,Kainoa,Kaiwi&Duke@RI, Kea@ SB, RIP@ Maili Point

I checked the outfall at Sandy Beach at 0615. Kea was gone. I picked up the stuff and continued the adventure.

At 0630 I arrived at Makai Pier to find an overnighted T990. He would depart of his own volition at 0942. I watched him behind the breakwater for 10 minutes, when he dove and I did not see him again.

At 0649 I found Kolohe (RW22), Kainoa (RN04) & Duke (RA12) all together in the Morning Glory, 40 ft left of 1BS on Rabbit Island. When I got back at 0840 they had moved down to the beachfront incline. Duke was a bit separated from Kainoa & Kolohe.

At 1018 Kaiwi (RK96) would arrive, hauling out nearer Duke than the other two. All four would snooze away the rest of the day.

 On a routine check of Crappy Cove, Sandy Beach at 1307, to my surprise, I found Kea (RN46) on his usual perch on the rocks. I cordoned him off and he remains. Kea would depart of his own volition at 1700.

At 1051 Team Billand called with the report of RIP (RR70) at Maili Point.

Much Mahalos to Team Billand for forwarding Charles’ latest map of Buster’s travels since being Critter Cammed. Lo & Behold the boy is foraging at Penquin Banks off Molokai !!!
