Marilyn viewed Rabbit Island from 12:35 to 3:08 pm and there were three seals seen during that time.
About 40 feet Lanikai side of the 1BS were the two weaners looking like manapua.
RV76 larger weaner size, female belly two red tags. She disappeared about 1:02 pm and appeared about 2:26 directly down from the 1BS.
At 1:26 pm Marilyn became aware of the sub-adult between the 3BS and SRI channel. This turned out to be a Sub-adult Male: sub-adult size, small adult size, newer coat, male belly not sure about tags.
Team R&B were on the west side by rest camp when they saw two seals foraging. One seal was an adult with a clean coat, not sure about tags. Reported as an Unknown Adult. The other adult had lots of green but their pictures did not help ID.
Meanwhile over at the outfall where there were three seal foraging. They were able to ID R3CX Nalu, but had no luck IDing the other two Unknown Adults.
Then they spotted an adorable young seal passing by. They couldn't see tags, but did see a scar under the right eye, clean coat (newly molted). The young seal kept going and didn't haul out. They though maybe it might be RU04, but reported as an Unknown Sub-adult.
They hung out in the area, when another seal arrived. It was R617 cruising along and he came in and landed, looking around. He rolled over and over then left. Guess he didn't find what he was looking for. He is looking handsome, they saw his scar on his head and ding on shoulders, no tags.
They got a text from posse pal Carol of two seals hauled out at paradise cove. It took Team R&B a while before they finally made it out. There on shore was RP28 Wakea looking green and plump.
The other seal was clean coat, RL20 Kalua. He seems to have lost his L21 tag.
