7/26/2018 Monk Seal Dailies: (part 1)

Today's dailies are brought to you by Team Billand, ol' posse pal Vicki, Lesley who was joined by Team T&D.  Lesley's complete Ka'ena Update is part two of the dailies.  I just want to personally give a BIG SHOUT-OUT and KUDOs to Lesley, Tammy & Dave for the hard work they accomplished today. They are my Hero of the day... week... month... !!!  Read part 2 and you will understand why.

Team Billand was out early to meet up with their little problem child. They arrived at the outfall and found Ka'ale RH32 foraging. Today they didn't see him catch anything and then before they knew it he was on his way. They never saw him again for the day.  Maybe he was still bloated from yesterday.

Team Billand didn't have much luck today finding critters. They did the Ka'ena West trek and when they reached the 20 mark and the water was so clear, they had no problem seeing a seal coming in. It was Kalani RN14, he went to the left, towards the middle hung out for a while on the rocks then took off again going west.  They continued to to follow along and at the 30 mark looked like Kalani was going to land but there were folks in the area taking pictures.  Kalani did not stick around, and continued west.  Determined Team Billand kept going and they spotted him at the 40 mark, but this time he just looked and never stopped kept heading west.  ( I think he was cruising for da ladies).

I was thrilled to get an email from our posse pal Vicki, it's been a while since we heard from her!!!  Vicki was in Honolulu today and went to visit another old friend of ours at the Waikiki Aquarium. Ho'ailona aka KP2 is back out for the public to see in his newly cleaned pool!  He's such a sweetie, I'm going to have to go and visit soon.  

While Vicki was in the neighborhood she stopped by Kaimana Beach and found Kaiwi RK96 at the beach. Let's just say she isn't at her prettiest.  Having said that, just wait a couple more days and she will be all shiny and new.  She is obviously going through her annual molt.
