And she's back........ I am going to go through the last couple weeks of emails to consolidate and provide some type of summary. I'm still dealing with the issue of time difference but by the weekend I should be back to some level of normal.
Marilyn viewed Rabbit Island from 1:20 and 3:30 and there was one lone weaner on island.
It was over an hour before Marilyn spotted weaner RQ44 Mahina hauled out on RRB. She may have been there earlier but Marilyn did not see her. Although her tags and N1 bleach were not visible, based on her size, shape and light female belly, Marilyn has no doubt its her.
Team R&B started off arriving at a west side location and saw two seals by the inlet. They ID'd one as RM31 Kai, the other wasn't familar. It was a male with stubs for tags, when they reached out it was suggested it might be RG32.They were able to see scar over right eye and top of head, they confirmed it was in fact RG32.
Then Nalu R3CX showed up through seal inlet and all heck broke loose. Both boys fought and Nalu left to go around the rocks to the water front rocks. He hauled up and went to sleep, peacefully alone.
Team R&B got a couple of calls of a seal on shore at secrets. They got to the site and there were signs put up by a friend of theirs. The seal was Aukai RL12 on shore. A man walked right through and went right in front of her, Team R&B stopped him. They guy said he didn't see the seal, which is hard to believe. They called the hotline and waited around educating folks. There were a few that had questions, one wanted to record Team R&B but they're too humble for that. They did share Aukai's history with them.
