Tammy went out to Ka'ena Point and met up with Lesley. As they drove up to one of the beaches they spotted two small seals playing in the shore break. It was RK40 Napua and RL98 Lina, and they soon hauled out for some rest.

Marilyn viewed Rabbit Island from 12:25 to 2:25, she spotted six seals today. On left point beach moving toward the 1BS were: UFW, unknown larger weaner size, light yellow female belly, no tags and possibly an applied bleach on right rear side. Marilyn thinks this "might" be Nohea N2 but can not say for sure. RW22 Kolohe, adult size, male belly, new coat and no visible tags, and his signature NB behind RFF. UAM, unknown adult size, gray male belly with a new darker coat. USAF, unknown sub-adult size, female belly, newer coat and at least one tag.

He was just coming into the area, foraging near the jetty. Lei Ola RH48 arrived shortly after and she and Nalu were frolicking together. Then the people came paddling out to the area to check out the dolphins. Team Billand lost sight of the seal and left the area. They did returned at 3 pm and only found R3CX.

Suddenly Kaale and Aukai started arguing and took off just like that.
Last seal of the day was little RL70. She was hidden in the rocks the entire time. She does a good job keeping herself hidden away.
