They started their day at Plains and found Miss Pohaku R028 near the fence line. The "boys" called them and let them know a critter had hauled up. There was a small zone already in place with signs. They thanked the surfers. Team Billand called into the hotline and updated them.
On the west side they checked the outfall first and then a nearby beach. They found RN14 Kalani coming up on the rocks. They waited to see if his buddy showed up but he did not. Team Billand was a bit nervous when they saw a small boat drop a net. This is a big foraging area for the seals not to mention how often dolphins are around.
Team Billand headed out to another west side beach and when they
got to the site, there was big ole RIP in his spot, sleeping and looking might healthy. Fat and happy with no new marks seen.
Then they spotted another seal coming in looking for a place to haul out. Barbara said she was never so happy to see Ka'ale coming into the area to haul up. He was okay but was very vocal, tossing his body around his snout to the ground, more barking, all this made RIP look. Ka'ale as we all know is a little nutty character, that we all adore.
He finally settled in for a nap and RIP was able to relax.
