Also there are a couple of corrections to yesterdays' post. It was not Benny hanging out in Ewa with Rocky it was Pohaku RO28, as ID'd by Team Billands keen eye. And Lesley noted that R3CU was at Back Beach not hidden beach. Thank you everyone for taking the time and updating with the correct information.
They had come up empty at all there usual spots so they decided to take the ride to Ewa. At 7:18 am Team Billand went out to Ewa and found Miss Rocky RH58. This is the first time Team Billand has seen her since she weaned the infamous Kaimana. Today Rocky was alone resting peacefully and snoring. Team Billand noticed a dog coming and two people. Team Billand did their best to wave them off and finally got the dog to stop. They called the hotline and left the site.
Team Billand went out to Yoks and while watching the waves, noticed a swimming seal and got some pictures. The seal had red tags and the number 3 so best guess effort would be R3CU. Once the seal swam out they never saw it again.
Team Billand's afternoon check at Maili brought them to RE74 da Benny. He was not at Nanakai earlier when they checked. They spotted Benny on the lower rocks sleeping and looking dry.
They saw his tags and markers. Team Billand had to leave because of the "characters" in the area. Benny remains and for the record Benny is Team Billand's first introduction into monk seal care :-) back in 2006 or 2007?
Gayle spotted four critters on Rabbit Island today. Right Spot was NOT at Alan Davis this morning. Hopefully she went to have a good dinner and breakfast. On Gayle's 16:00 check she came up empty but her last stop at Sandy Beach she stopped and talked story with one of the regular beach dudes Chris. Gayle spotted one of the volunteers who informed her there was a report of a seal. They came across Right Spot at the exit side of Sandys around 17:00. They left at 18:15, Right SPot remained.
A special treat today here is a video from November 25th from Pat R. Thank you for taking the time and re-sending so I could post and share. This critter is believed to be Ka'ale who frequents the west side.

I'm all for dogs, I love them at times more than people... but they need to be on a leash or under the strict supervision of their owner
