Mrs. Whisperer hiked out to Ka'ena Point today with Diane. They did a quick stop at birth beach and found no one. They made their way out to the point and found not one seal on the way or there. Just as they were preparing to leave at 9:55 am for the hike back, Marilyn saw a seal come into the main pool at Ka'ena Point. And then the seal turned around and headed out to the east. They followed him and the seal hauled out to the entrance of the Ka'ena Pool. It was Ka'ena ID'd by his dorsal pit scar, N9 bleach, the line scare on his RFF, his chest scare, male belly and chipped "O" tag. Upon arrival Ka'ena immediately rolled on his side to snooze.
At 5:15am Team Billand found Pohaku at Paradise Cove. Team Billand is dealing with the awful traffic situation on the west side, and yet they are still out there at the crack of dawn. When they found Pohaku she was sleeping at the Naupaka. Even in the dark there were folks up and about, and Team Billand did their best to answer questions and had some fun with the visitors. At 8:15 am a volunteer arrived on scene, and Team Billand left at 9:00 am.
Team Billand's next find was Keko Alii at Maili, he was alone and in a deep sleep on the rocks. Team Billands stay low key as to not draw attention to him. Due to the traffic situation they didn't hit all their usual spots. 
Posse Pal Gayle was checking on Rabbit Island today. Pictures were not very good due to vog and heavy rain this afternoon. The two photos show a bad guy out there, but when Gayle noticed, he was apparently on his way off the island. Gayle's other find was Right Spot was seen early this morning at the keiki pool, but she moved forward toward road. Right Spot departed at 18:15 tonight.
