October 13, 2023 Friday's Dailies

Todays dailies are brought to you by Marilyn and Team R&B💕

Marilyn viewed Rabbit Island from 12:55 to 2:55 and there were two seals during that time.

Initially when Marilyn arrived she did not see any seals. But soon after she became aware of two seals playing in the SRI channel. A short time later, the smaller seal seemed to escape. Ultimately both seals hauled out at different ends of the island.

At 1:12 pm, the seal who Marilyn believes is molting RK24

Bruno/Wawamalu hauled out at LPB: adult size, about 95% molted, scar on right rear side, and two red tags. He appears to have a few remnants of old fur on his rear dorsal area and rear flippers.

At about the same time, a Female Weaner hauled out from the channel at RRB: weaner size, older coat, light female belly and two red tags.

Team R&B started their day at the outfall and there was lots of activity in the area. There were sharks spotted, two tigers and another unknown. Lots of dolphins having their usual fun and two seals foraging.

Lifeguards were on they're megaphone announcing sharks spotted, get out! Most folks listened, but there were those that did not.... hmmmmm..... they just continued to swim around.

The two seals were near the outfall, one went into the outfall and the bigger one left, they lost sight of it. The bigger seal was clean coat and large.... they soon figured out it was KG54.  The other seal had two red tags, one of the tags was broken. They just could make an ID.

There was a boy throwing rocks at the sharks, Team R&B just wasn't able to get a pic of the sharks.

KG54 landed at the rocks, and she is huge!

Next they were on the road when they thought they saw a seal. Going over to look, and it took some time there was a weaner hauled out hiding in the rocks. It took forever to get the tag shot. With the big waves hitting the seal they were able to see it was RS20. She is looking just fine, no hooks, and no new markers on this cutie pie.
