In yesterday's news Team R& finally got power back so they sent their update from yesterday.
On the west side their first seal was RS32 who hauled up after they had followed her for 25 minutes. At first they though it was a big turtle until she came up to the surface.
Then they found two seals side by side near seal inlet. They couldn't ID the male, didn't see tags, scar on right side of face. He has a pudgy face, but couldn't come up with an ID.
The female was RL70 Leina. They confirmed her ID while viewing their photos. They saw her white nails and one red tag.
Today they only found one seal. They were thrilled to see RL20 Kalua resting on the rocks. Both his applied bleaches N17 & N11 were visible.
When they did a recheck later, he was gone.
Marilyn viewed Rabbit Island from 12:40 to 2:07 pm. Once again the moms and pups were the only seals on island during that time.
On LPB were MO3 and PO3. MO3 is looking smaller each time Marilyn sees her, while PO3 increases in size. Marilyn could see the applied 3 bleach on its mid back. Marilyn won't be surprised if MO3 leaves soon. She'll be known as Mystery Mom.
Between the 1BS and 2BS were RF34 Pua and her pup PO5. The pup was mostly hidden behind Pua the entire viewing session. Both seem to be doing fine. Marilyn could see at least one of Pua's red tags.
Initially RK38 and her pup PO4 were in the water. They ultimately hauled out and moved up the beach before they went into nursing mode. The pup nursed for a time and then crawled around behind mom. Marilyn could see PO4's Allflex tag on RRF. RK38 still seems to have a fair amount of fat.
