Marilyn viewed Rabbit Island from 11:05 to 11:45 and there were five seals on island.
On Lanikai side of LPB near waterfront rocks was MO7 and PO7. They barely changed positions during Marilyn's short visit.
More in the middle of LPV was MO6 and PO6. The pup was nursing when she first arrived. Then about 11:17 PO6 headed for the water. MO6 watched for a while and then finally followed PO6 in the water. They were still in the water when Marilyn left.
About 11:30 Marilyn saw a partial view of a seal in SRI. The seal was reported as U/U, Marilyn only had a very partial view of this seal. She checked before she left and did not see the U/U.
Team R&B decided to pull over during their search to watch the dolphins. To their surprise they found RL42 Leia and RN14 Kalani. Their joy turned into anger later as they watched people approaching the seals. A woman wanted her little girl to pose near the seal, as they got closer, Kalani popped up and barked at them. Thankfully they got the hint, no more photos.
On their next stop they once again spotted just a sliver of a small seal in the rocks. There was RP84 Pe'ekai snuggled in and hidden away. Hopefully he'll stay hidden during the holiday chaos.
Because they are so dedicated to the seals! They did the Ka'ena West trek and there were no seals again.
On the way out they spotted a glimpse of a seal leaving. They quickly made their way down and saw R3CX Nalu rolling around in the water. He then landed up on upper rocks and was able to snooze.
At another west side location they found RP30 Puka after looking around. There were a couple of guys walking around, thankfully they left the seal alone (at least while Team R&B was there) Hopefully they didn't bother the little green seal.
