Yet another race of some kind made getting around in the SE Quadrant a challenge for the first coupla’ hours, but thanks to Marilyn,Melanie&Gayle all the spots got checked.

 At 0745 I found Nani (RK60), 80 ft left of 3BS. She would be joined by Aukai (RL12) at 1004. Aukai was back in the water at 1047. I did not see her again.

 Marilyn called at 0902 , reporting Kaiwi (RK96) at China Walls. She got the same belly shots we’ve all been getting, but then went above & beyond and went to another location to get a much needed shot of her back. Kaiwi is a conservative 95% molted. Thanks too to Gayle & Melanie for braving the China Walls wave action.

 At 0617 Team Billand reported Pohaku (RO28) once again at Nanakuli. She would depart at 1411, only to haul out again further down at 1440.

 At 1057 the Billands called to advise that Debbie had reported Kimo Kai (RT12) at Makaha. He reportedly departed at 1400.

 At 1300 Benny was reported off shore of Kimo Kai’s location, but he apparently never hauled out. 

The highlight of the day came at 1112 with a call from the Billands advising that they had gotten a Hotline call reporting Rocky (RH58) and another animal in Ewa Beach. They responded and confirmed the Rocky & Kolohe (RW22) ID at 1144. She’s baaaaack !!1/2015
