Team R&B arrived at the outfall and saw two seals just off the jetty along with some of the fishers. One of the seals in the outfall was RN14 Kalani, and the other was U/U. Before they can get sense of who the second seal was it was gone.
They watched as RN14 Kalani head over to tracks. They headed over to check and when they arrived he was already on shore with his bosom buddy RH32 Kaale. Kaale is now 98% done with his molt.
Team R&B headed over to the bay and spotted RL20 foraging. While watching out popped R3CX Nalu on the rocks, but for some reason he didn't stick around. RL20 Kalua landed and hauled out all the way to the rocks and a pond. There were some kids out there that started throwing rocks at him. Team R&B yelled out to them to stop, and thankfully they did. Fortunately in this case RL20 left, especially since the kids were still hanging around.
Team R&B did the Ka'ena west trek with junior sealette. At the beginning they found sweet RM31 Kai.
Then further into their trek they spotted a L75 tag, which is Kami RL74/L75. The hook which she has had for some time now is there there. She is fine, no sign of stress. Next to Kami was KG89/G54 looking peaceful and plump. 
Next find took Team R&B a little bit to get an ID. Then there were a couple of people go up to two seals and stopped to get their photos. Team R&B called out to stay back and one replied, why? for what? The other just stood in front and took more photos, then went into the water for a swim. Once again Team R&B asked them to move, explained the seal RL42 was trying to come up, and sure enough RL42 Leia hauled up higher.
After checking out the other seal Team R&B was able to determine the male seal was RN04 Kainoa. He was ID by the cookie scar above the LFF and the cookie scar on the right side of his belly.
