Marilyn viewed Rabbit Island from 12:51 to 2:23 pm and there were two seals seen during that time.
Near SRI were the following:
Juvenile Female: juvenile size, older coat, two red tags and yellowish brown female belly.
Adult Unknown: large chubby adult size, two red tags, not sure of sex because Marilyn never saw the ventral. She is guessing this the female with the neck scar that she has seen regularly.
Team R&B started their day at pokai. They found Miss Kala RH76 alone resting at the zen.
They also saw parts of a boat on shore and in the water. They moved some of them off the shore line.
Next they saw a big male on shore from afar at electric beach. They couldn't determine an ID other than unknown male. Then they spotted Miss R604 hauling up and almost went past him. Of course there were folks out on the beach checking them out.
They went back to check him out later and still could not make an ID. They did not see tags, scars or any distinguishable marks.
At Kahe they found a seal on the rocks with tags. They went back a second time and they confirmed the seal was RM31 Kai. He wasn't there earlier. Now he was completely dry most likely from the strong winds.
Rechecking electric beach RM31 Kai was still on the rocks. Now they see a third seal on shore resting.
They checked it out and saw the tags RS32. She was resting, her tags showing and with a green snout.
They checked it out and saw the tags RS32. She was resting, her tags showing and with a green snout.
They had seen RS32 earlier in the day foraging at pipes.
Both R604 and the Unknown Male were still on shore together.
