07/22/2020 Wednesday (part 2) Lesley's Ka'ena Update

When I made it down to the beach, I saw 2 wallows here in front and 2 wallows @ BBTables (one of a turtle). Unfortunately, all of them had the same footsteps right up to the wallows. It must have happened during the wee hours at high tide, cause by the time I was there it was low tide and he trails were partially washed. Needless to say, my blood was boiling.
Shortly after RG28 Lefty hauled out @ Lyman's West.
I headed towards the point @ 10Mns Beach 3 seals were hauled out.: RK40 Napua with her escort RO40 Ka'ena and little RL98 Lina was futher away.
At Hidden Beach RW02 PVKauai was freshly hauled out. On my next check he was going up and down the waterline and swimming around the little bay. At sat on the sand and watched his unusual behavior for a while, it was as if he was waiting for another seal or searching for one. He is a very vocal seal but today he was quiet. 
I arrived at the point a couple of minutes before the big downpour and barely made it to the rock cave where I sat for over an hour waiting for the worst to go by. I hadn't been caught in one of those for a longtime, so I enjoyed the view and the calm.
The NARS had little rivers and mini waterfalls, I had to get back, so I left my spot under rain.
The road was a slipping sliding game.
At 10 Mns Beach the Trio was still there but had changed places.
Back @ Lyman's Lefty was at Luana's Tide Pool (still covered in sand). I checked BB/Tables and from the corner of my eye I saw a little piece of grey... PO4 Kai was cuddled up among some rocks.
Covered in mud, I had to hose off before going into a shower.

We have been enjoying watching the comet every night since last Friday. What a treat ! More tomorrow ðŸŒº
