Lesley found RW02 PVKauai at Camp Erdman Point today. The trail was all the way up behind the Naupaka, looks like he overnighted. He was at Back Beach Ka'ena Point yesterday afternoon. A bit of a surprise, good that his tags were visible.Team Billand out at the crack of dawn once again found da Benny at Makaha all the way up in the Naupaka in front of the Bamboo House. They quickly put up a zone with sticks and rocks (no signs available).
As they were finishing the zone, there was another seal coming in and hauling out. RL42 got it bad for Benny. The hotline was called and informed about both seals. In the few hours they spent with Benny and RL42 they watched how RL42 stayed close to Benny. Benny would move down first, RL42 woke up and found she was alone, then quickly moved down to Benny. They both remained at the waters edge. RL42 giving Benny a taste of his own medicine.
Team Billand educated folks who came by and the Yoga couple went around the zone today and did their yoga outside the zone. Thank goodness for the small gifts.
At 10:25 volunteer arrived, Team Billand left to check other sites.
Team Billand's only other find for the day was two U/Us at Campbells. Although Barbara thought she might have seen a third towards the end. No identification was possible. Seals were doing 5 minute dives, but at 300 feet away rough surf not much to go on. One seal has a clean coat, the other darker in color both adults. The "possible" third seal was smaller in size with a clean coat.
Gayle found Right Spot at her usual spot at Sandys. She snoozed the day away and was still there under tonight's big bright half moon.
