11/17/2018 Monk Seal Dailies: (part 2) Lesley's Ka'ena Update

AM: 
The boys overnighted - by the trails on the beach there were many ups and downs and possibly another seal showed up.
RW02 "PVKauai" was on our Birth Beach side access up near the Naupaka line and RG40 "Holokai" was at the Big Camp site. He didn't move from yesterday's position.
I was very busy but made it as far as 10Mnts Beach and didn't see any other seals.
PM:
Went down for an evening stroll
RW02 "PVKauai" had moved down to waterline and was now sleeping half way up the beach.

I looked towards the Big Camp site and saw that the beach in front had been all stirred up by seals having a good time. Turns out the seal that was in "Holokai's" earlier spot was not him but a freshly molted big male seal.... RR70 "RIP"
"Holokai" was no where to be seen.
