10/5/2017 Monk Seal Dailies: Kekoa RK72, Ka'ena RO40, RIP R70, BG R303, Right Spot R016, Kaiwi RK96 and Rabbit Island Critter

Today's dailies are brought to you by Team Billand,  Team T&D, and Posse Pal Gayle.  

Team Billand's only find today was Kekoa Alii RK72 at Maili. Once again he was snoozing mid rocksand alone. On a return check mid day he was still there facing the ocean, On their last check of the day he was gone from the beach foraging doing 6 minutes dives.  They covered all their usual spot but Kekoa was the only critter.

Team T&D hiked Ka'ena Point and found RIP & Ka'ena at the back beach both snoozing the day away.  When they got to the main pool there was BG  big and beautiful in her new coat.  An unknown adult male with 2 tags showed up to keep BG company.

Posse Pal Gayle found Right Spot at Sandy's today and she was still there at 18:35.  
On Rabbit Island Gayle spotted a small critter (no pictures).  Gayle also found her favorite child (the one she quit her job over) Miss Kaiwi at Kokee.  (sorry Gayle, I still miss ya at the shop).
