7/2/2016 DB's Dailies: Kala&Cass@Rabbit Island,DB, Kaiwi&PO4@AD, Benny@Paradise Cove, RIP&RL42@Makua Cliffs, Team Billand,Ka'ena&Squinty@Ka'ena Point, Nihoa&PO3@Mokuleia, Marilyn Dunlap,

Though I was not at the Kaiwi&PO4 site myself, I heard from the duty personnel all day, and Marilyn did the 4-7. Apparently, D#17 was without incident so far as I know. Mahalos to Gina,Dana,Barbara,Gayle& of course, Marilyn.

 The Rabbit Island cast consisted of Kala (RH76) out on the left end rock flats, and green girl, Cass (RG06) 40 ft left of Seal Rock Inlet.

 A Team Billand text at 0617 advised that Linda had reported an animal at Lagoon#1, KoOlina, but it departed. At 0632 Nancy called them with the report of Benny (RE74) newly arrived to the rocks at Paradise Cove. He would depart at 0828, but apparently returned again, with Warren responding, but he would depart again, heading east.

 At 1143 the Billands reported RIP (RR70) & RL42, together at Makua Cliffs.

 Marilyn & Lesley did the End of the World trek today, and at 0953 reported Ka’ena (RO40) at Ka’ena’s Pool, with hook still visible, and at 1046 called again with the report of Squinty (R330) at BG’s Pool. They also stopped to say howdy to Nihoa & PO3 before heading to KP this morning.
