September 18, 2023 Monday's Dailies

Todays dailies are brought to you by Marilyn and Team R&B💕  It was a busy day!

Marilyn viewed Rabbit Island from 1:00 to 2:35 and there was only one seal during that time.

About 50 feet Makapuu side of the 1BS among the water front rocks was an Unknown Juvenile: juvenile size, older coat with some green on ventral side and two tags.

Marilyn had stopped off a couple of spots on her way to the grocery store. There was a seal on the

shoreline who she believes was Aka RJ06. The area was cordoned off providing a good sized SRA with a volunteer on site. The seal was an adult male, older coat with medium brown belly and some green with tags.

Team R&B got a text early morning of a seal at plains. When they got there they found RH58 Rocky by tower one. The early surfers were surprised especially since she was under the tower. Rocky departed by 9 am on her own.

Then much to their surprise to the right was RH92 Nalani. She was called in and had just arrived this morning.

Heading over to Kahe they found RH32 KAale on the rocks. He was alone, at least in the beginning.  Kaale was soon joined by RL20 Kalua. They noticed a line coming from the right corner of his mouth and two hooks in his chest. Line was long, coming from his mouth and around his hind flippers down to the rocks.

While watching him another seal came in really slow. They couldn't

make an ID, other than it was an adult large in size. They didn't see any tags and attempted to land three times. The Unknown Adult has a lot of scratches on its body, a small scar on its head.

At one point Kaale was back in the water and got into a fight with the Unknown Adult.

On their second check later in the day they found a seal resting at the bay. It was alone on the rocks, clean coat with tags. They believe this is Lei Ola RH48
