Missed News -11/16/19 Dailies

News from Team Billand, Marilyn, Melody, posse pal Vicki and Diver pal Paul.
Because I'm playing catch up, I'm keeping the narrative short and sweet.

First Posse Pal Vicki was on the southeast side on Friday 11/15 and came across Right Spot R016 and a new critter. RN06/07 is a male from Molokai. ( I believe he was born in 2013, but could be wrong).

Team Billand found Da Benny RE74 snoozing where he's been for the last week.
Kawena RH36 was on the west side resting peacefully for the entire day.

Two seals foraging off Maili RK72 Kekoa and RH36 Kawena. On the afternoon check a 3rd seal unidentified UU was seen with Kekoa and Kawena.

Marilyn spent her morning on the southeast side. Initially she found Right Spot R016 and RN06 who apparently over-nighted it. They stayed for a bit and then entered the water, not to be seen again.
On a later check she found RG28 lefty.

Marilyn checked Rabbit Island and found 5 seals:

Unknown Juvenile Male (UJM) about 100 ft left of 1BS alone up in the morning glory.
Unknown Juvenile #1 (UJ#1) and Unknown Adult Male (UAM) were near each other about 30 feet left of the 1BS.
Unknown Juvenile #2 (UJ#2) and RW22 Kolohe were about 50-70 feet right of the 3BS. Kolohe was a positive ID by his male belly and cue ball NB behind his RFF.

Melody got a call that Rocky RH58 was at cove 8, she wasn't able to get to see her until later in the afternoon. She had called security to let them know to put up signs. When Melody was finally able to check on her Rocky she was resting comfortably.

Our diver pal Paul sent two video clips of seal in the waters by Lanai Lookout.
