They started their day at the bay. There was a homeless guy on the rocks with Kala RH76. They watched but didn't say anything. They guy saw them and walked over to explain that he saw the seal coming in. He said the seal waved it's flipper at him, so he knew the seal didn't need any help. hmmmmmm.
Anyhoo !! Kala is looking plump and healthy.
Next they saw a seal trying to haul in at Kahe but the waves were justslamming it about. Team R&B couldn't see much of the seal, don't know its gender or if it had tags. The seal decided to move on so it was reported as a unknown unidentified.
It was bad enough to not get an ID on one seal, but at their next stop they ran into another. This seal just wouldn't move just sleeping. They even left and came back, the seal moved up but still the same problem. The seal was reported as an unknown sub-adult.
There was a honu on shore with people right there close by.
They decided to make the trek out to Ka'ena West since it was a slow seal day. The waves were huge but they got lucky and spotted a seal snoozing. It was way up on shore and its tags were showing. There was RQ24 Mauna looking good.
Today was the day! Finally after two hours of watching the horizon they saw spouts!
There were actually four whales, which delighted Team R&B! They shared their binoculars with tourist who were thrilled to see the whales! Team R&B said even the homeless guy was surprised to see the whales spouting!
