Team R&B started their day at a west side location and found Mr. RG32.  He was on his side mostly submerged in a shallow pond. Of course he barely moved for a good ID shot, but they knew it was him.

They had to take care of servicing their car today and it took much longer than they expected. 

Next they found the lovely RH76 Kala. She is perhaps 35% done with her molt. It seems to be moving along now.

They spent time looking and looking and finally they found RP30 Puka. He's been gone for a few days so its nice to have him back. He is 100% molted and looking quite handsome.

They got a call from a very good friend to say her daughter was walking the beach and saw a very green seal. Team R&B were in the area so they headed over and found Nalu R3CX.  He is looking quite green and is big and handsome.  Nice to have good pals out there that care about the seals.

Team T&D hiked out to the point today and found five seals.  Their first find was RL98 Lina resting peacefully on her favorite beach. They were unable to get an ID on the next seal because it took off just when they arrived. With the help of the seal posse (Barb) they ID'd RN04 Kainoa.

In Ka'ena's pool was PVKauai RW02. On the runway was RG28 Lefty (guess he left the west side). 

Just as they got to the point, there was Kami RL74. She decided to take a dip in the tidepool since it was another hot day out at the point.  Lastly they have been watching the two Curlews this year. Today they watched one of them eat a crab.

Team R&B had took off some time today today to look after family. They did manage to find two seals at different locations.

First they found Kala RH76, she is still molting. She was alone and getting some good rest.

Secondly at another west side location they found RG32 tucked away in the rocks snoozing. They were wondering if he will molt soon. There isn't a lot of information on him and his molting records.

On their first visit to a west side location they found one seal. It was Mr. RG32 alone chillin in the pond. He happen to be very vocal, that caused Team R&B looking for another another seal. But they didn't see any this time.

Next stop at the bay much later than usual. They foung RH76 Kala, still molting in a shallow pond.  They did return later to check and she was still in the same spot, looking like a molting mess.

They did an afternoon check on RG32 and found RM31 Kai had joined him. They were both together closer to the outer rocks and both were snoozing. Team R&B suspect that Kai's arrival was probably full of drama given RG32's behavior earlier.

They started their day checking out Kala's comfort spot as of late. She was there resting peacefully in the rocks. Later she moved down. Later in the afternoon they confirmed she is molting.

At another west side location they found two seals.  They spotted RG32 up on high rocks. He was alone and snoozing. 

On the other side of right waterfront rocks was big boy, Nalu R3CX.

Lastly they headed over to secrets and found the lovely Aukai RL12. She is 100% molted looking

lovely. She was at mid beach alone. They put the signs up and called the hotline.  Just as they were filling the hotline in, a volunteer arrived. The volunteer took the signs that were in place out and put signs that she brought up.  Seems a little redundant.... 

Next another seal came in, none other than Kaale RH32. He checked out Aukai from the water, then he went to the rocks to rest.  He's looking so green, and he is being quite the gentleman, not the butthead we have come to know and love.

Once again it took them a bit to locate RH76 Kala.  For a minute they thought she was no longer in the area. Then, suddenly they spotted her fat face peaking out. She is so sweet looking lovely. She certainly has mastered the art of hiding.

It was still hard for them to see the progress of her molt, There were a few spots under her chin, her snout and some scar areas that started.

Sadly they found two dead shearwaters and on chick alive and doing well.  Then there was the most unusual sighting, it was Godzilla.  Guess he decided to visit once Japan opened up travel to the islands.

At another west side location they spotted a fat seal. They thought maybe it was Lei Ola, but it wasn't. They were surprised to find Nalu R3CX. He was on the rocks, alone and this is the first time they saw him at this location.  They looked around thinking there might be a female around, but there wasn't.

As they were passing an area they spotted a big seal on the rocks. But by the time they got to the site, the big boy was in the shallows snoozing on his side. They had a little help from a crab, who crawled up on his hind flippers and onto his body. That's when RG32 popped up and the crab flew off.

Lastly they went to secrets and by the time they arrived Auntie was upset with some people because they were disrespectful.  

There were two seals on shore, once again Aukai RL12, and Kaale RH32. Seems these two are enjoying each others company. Team R&B stayed for a bit and educated people who were looking to walk pass the seals.  They called the hotline and waited until just after noontime. They made sure signs were up and then left the site.
