May 9, 2026 Saturday's Dailies

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

Marilyn viewed Rabbit Island from 11:59 to 2:15 pm and there were only moms and pups today.
Initially near the LPB channel were MO3 and her pup PO3. The pup nursed for a while and then mom and pup went for about an hours swim before hauling out again. The pup nursed again. Marilyn never had a good view of the applied "3" bleach. She did see the Allflex tag on PO3's RRF.
Between 1BS and 2BS were RF34 Pua and her pup PO5. This is a new location for them, PO5 was mostly hidden behind Pua during her viewing session. Marilyn was able to ID Pua by her right rear scar.
RK38 Hali'a and her pup PO4 were difficult to see during Marilyn's entire session. She only saw the top of PO4's head briefly. Clearly she wasn't able to know if the applies 4 bleach is visible.
All the moms seem to be getting thinner and the pups getting bigger.

Team R&B got word of two seals at plains up on shore. Seems they left and then hauled up on shore again. By the time they got to the site, they found RN14 Kalani was on shore to the left side. There were tons of people out there today. One lifeguard wasn't happy as folks wouldn't move away from the seals. He confessed that he understand how Team R&B feels all the time. They put up signs, and made things a little better.
Also to the right, all the way down was little boy RT06. It was tricky area, bot much space between cabins and RT06. So there were people walking in, instead of going around the seal.  Some folks went snorkeling right in from of the seal, which made RT06 posture and look at them,
It was a difficult day to be out there today, so Team R&B called it a day.

Lastly earlier in the day they saw eight boobies hanging out at Kahe.  No seals just the boobies.
