At 0743 I found RM38 & Kimo Kai (RT12) at the log, 40 ft left of 1BS on Rabbit Island. At 0744, another animal came into view from behind the Morning Glory back at the cliff. It would prove to be Buster (RV08) he would move down and into the water. I did not see him again today. The other two would also move down at 1056. I would see neither of them again today.On a pan at 0757 I found RK36 on the water front rocks of Rocky Right Beach. He would remain there all day.
At 0810 Kolohe (RW22)&RG32 (L5 bleach) hauled out fronting Left Greenery. The would snooze away the rest of the day.The Billands responded to a Dana call at 0900 about an animal at Paradise Cove. At 0922 they confirmed the Pohaku (RO28) ID. Mahalos to Nancy,Jean&Bev.
At 0922 they got a call about an animal at White Plains. At 1015 they confirmed the Benny (RE74) ID. He was at the fenceline. The Billands stayed until after dark, before departing. Benny remains. Mahalos to Rich,Larry&Jean.
While Barbara stayed with Benny , Robert responded to a call about an animal in Ewa Beach. At 1015 he confirmed Rocky (RH58) at access #185C, Ewa Beach.Gina Walker did her morning shift at Turtle Bay, and came up zero. She responded to a call about an animal at Bathtub Beach, Laie, on her way home. She found the animal at 1354. Gina’s excellent shots confirm the RI37 ID by tag.
Evening mail from Dana brought shots of a late afternoon haul out at Turtle Bay. Unfortunately, no ID is possible due to lack of information in the shots.
