Team Billand found RH92 at 7 am resting, actually in a deep sleep on shore on a westside beach. They called the hotline to report. They rechecked her several times during the day and she remained.
Late morning Team Billand watched a critter (unknown unidentified) doing 8 to 10 minute dives off
They came across Ka'ale RH32 already up on rocks, alone and sleeping. The wind was acting up, and the salt spray was still stinging. When they went back to check on him a couple of hours later they were thrilled to find RK36 with Ka'ale. RK36 is looking nice, healthy and robust. They did get a photo of his tag.
Team Billand stopped by the outfall and found the winds had been so strong over the last couple of days that the sign put up by NOAA was dangling from the fence. It would be nice if they could replace it.
They then went to a nearby beach and found Kawena RH36 was next to RW02 PvKauai. There was no interaction while they were there to observe. Kawena's applied bleach was visible along with her tags. RW02 was rolling about trying to find a good spot to settle.
He was a quite the gentleman, calm and not bothering Kawena.
