Team R&B started their day at pokai. They spent about an hour waiting but no seals came. They did see the new sculpture that was put in the Heiau. It is for the navigators, the rich history of Pokai and the dog that protected the people.

The first seal they spotted was RN14 Kalani. He was alone on shore at electric beach. Well alone in that he was the only seal, there were lots of people.
They spotted three seals foraging in the pipes area.  They were able to ID RS32 and RL08 foraging together. It looks like RL08 was after RS32.
At Kahe they saw a seal swimming by. They walked down to find RG32 hauling out alone.

They not sure when the sela arrived but there were two on shore where people continue to pass all the time. Some stop and got really close to the seals. They were ID'd as RH32 Kaale and RP30 Puka.

When they looked again at electric beach they saw that RN14 was still there, but now he had company. RL08 was there with him.

They were done looking and stopped to watch the waves and whales. There were even a couple of dolphins for a minute.
In Makaha were two turtles on shore, one arrived while they were there.

January 30, 2026 Friday's Dailies

Overcast skies and rain did not make for a good day searching for seals. Didn't mean they weren't out there, just wasn't easy or fun.
There were whales were out there breaching, but the visibility wasn't great for photos.  Team R&B did find RH76 Kala at pokai. She was just hauling up and looking nice and plump. She headed straight for her zen zone, and went into snooze mode. 

They found the handsome RG32 at Kahe. He was alone snoozing and doing just fine.
From afar they saw three seals were hauled out at electric beach. They were resting onshore by the parking area. Team R&B ID'd RL08, RP28 Wakea and RN14 Kalani. Unfortunately there were people out there checking out the trio.
They saw that RG32 was still on the rocks, but he was with little female RS32 and was wide eyed and looking at something. That's
when Team R&B spotted another male was coming in. It was R617. He was staring at back at RG32 who was around the rocks.  R617 immediately sniffed at RS32 and she barked at him. He moved about an inch or so and rested by her side.

Team R&B headed over to plains and as soon as they parked it began to pour. They waited for about 20 minutes and with a break in the rain ventured out and found a fat female by the fence line on the Ewa side. There was a zone set up for her. They ID'd KG89 Huakai getting slammed by the rising tide. She didn't mind and stayed in place. More rain came so Team R&B left and called it a day.

January 29, 2026 Thursday's Dailies

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

Tammy went out to Ka'ena Point today with Lesley. They had a good day, seeing seals, whales and albatross, not to mention the albatross chicks have begun to hatch. 
Their first seal was PvKauai RW02 on the rocks island. Near him on the coral was R330 Squinty.  At the runway was RL47 Kamakana.  Just when they thought it was going to be a boys day, they found two females down the way. There was Mohala RP24 and Luana RN58. 
The last seal they spotted today was R420 hauling out near RL47. Fun fact Kamakana and Mohala are both Rabbit Island seals!  Along with everything else they saw a mockingbird with nesting material. (hopefully I labeled all the seals correctly)

Team R&B searched the area and was coming up empty. But then their first find were whales out not that far. There were some kayaks in the area. A calf was active and Team R&B were loving it. They finally got to see some breaching!

Then they spotted multiple seals at electric beach. The first to be ID'd was RP28 Wakea. He took off about 1:00 pm. The second to be ID'd was their big boy RH32 Kaale. They continued to watch from afar, and ID'd a third seal. It was RN14 Kalani.

Lastly they spotted a few more seals at Kahe. At first there were three seals all resting on the rocks.
There was RG32 who was with R416 Makakii.  Left to them wasRL20 Kalani, he was on his own. Later on RS32 arrived and stayed to the right. They noted that RS32 might have a hook on her hind flipper.
