July 3, 2024 Wednesday's Dailies

Today's dailies are brought to you by Team R&B💕

Before I get into the daily report, I have to acknowledge that it was seven years ago today we lost our beloved DB.  Every year since then a small group of us have gathered at the pier to honor his memory and make toast. We were able to do that today with Marilyn. 

Before we raised our cups, Diane, Tammy, Marilyn and I took a look at Rabbit Island. We did see a couple of seals including PO8 who is getting quite chubby.  The camera wasn't set up so there were no photos or official report.

It is hard to believe DB has been gone for seven years, but he still continues to bring us together. I and others will be forever grateful for all he shared with us about the seals, but most importantly the bond he created between us. 

Team R&B started their day at Kahe were they found just one seal alone in between the rocks. It took them a bit but they were able to ID R617.

They spotted another seal from afar so they headed over to the outfall.  When they arrived there were no seals and the fishers told them there were two seals that left about 5 minutes before.

Team R&B headed back to Kahe and were happy to find two seals on the rocks resting. They were Lefty RG28 and Kalua RL20. (most likely the two seals that were at the outfall).

Then Team R&B could hear another seal barking sounding upset. They could see it tossing its head in the air and vocalizing like crazy. They could see gunk on his face (not sure what it is). He continued over to where Lefty and Kalua were resting. By the time Team R&B got over to them both boys left heading west.

The seal in the water was RM31 Kai still grumbling and smelling the air.

They ended their day at the cliffs. They were thrilled to find one more seal. It was the very cute RP30 Puka alone on his side resting peacefully.
