September 18, 2024 Wednesday's Dailies

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

Marilyn viewed Rabbit Island from 12:45 to 2:30 pm and there were four seals seen during that time. 

Chubby weaner RT90 Manapua was on the back Lanikai side of LPB. He started up against the cliffs. Later he moved down closer to the water. At 1:41 pm he headed back into the water and was not seen again.

In the middle of LPB was weaner RT19. Hr was ID'd by his weaner shape and size, two red tags and light tan male belly.

Almost directly down from the 1BS was a seal that Marilyn believes to be R416 Makali''i: sub-adult size, new coat, light male belly and no tags.

At 2:04 pm, Marilyn became aware that another seal had hauled out behind R416. She labeled the newcomer as a Sub-adult Male: sub-adult size, new coat, light male belly and at least one red tag.

Team R&B's first find at pokai was the lovely Miss Kala RH76. She was alone resting at her zen place.

While checking on Kala they spotted a couple of turtles snacking on limu.

From afar they noticed another seal foraging in the school of fish. There was one kayak out there fishing. They were able to ID RH48 Lei Ola getting her fill of fish.

Their next stop at the cliffs where they spotted a seal coming in. It

hauled out in between the rocks which always makes it tough to get an ID. It was an adult male with a very clean coat. They did see a tag when the seal did a flipper flex but could not read it.

Team R&B returned to pokai for a recheck. They saw two seals foraging, who they were studied for awhile. One had a clean coat, large female, who they ID'd aas Lei Ola RH48. She was seen earlier in the day.  The other seal was an adult with lots of green. They were able to ID him as R3CX Nalu 

They were near the Kayak that was still out there fishing, along with a row boat.
