Marilyn viewed Rabbit Island for about an hour today between 12:28 and 1:25 and there was only one seal on island during that time.
Near SRI was a Sub-adult Female: sub-adult size, female belly, light yellowish brown ventral (could be sand) and two red tags. This seal has a line scar on the right upper chest and a darker spot on the mid chest area.
Team R&B first noticed a seal towards the cabins at restcamp from afar. They headed over and there was good ole boy R3CX Nalu. He was alone on shore resting and there was no signs. One guy who was near by looking for shells did stop and take a photo. They called the hotline.
Next was heading over to Kahe, when they first arrived they saw the akule boat with three dudes laying nets. Of course there were seals at the nets stealing fish. There were also snorkelers out in the water busy taking photos of the seals taking the fish. Team R&B was able to ID three seals as RG28 Lefty, RH32 Kaale and R407.
A little later they found RG28 Lefty had finally landed. He was alone resting at Kahe.
In the afternoon they found RH32 Kaale resting at electric beach.
At another west side location they spotted a seal. They were surprised and happy to see his tag and there was RK72 Kekoa Alii in his old hang out. He was alone and resting comfortably. The mesh was visible, but the sat tag was hidden.
