Marilyn viewed Rabbit Island from 12:27 to 2:31 pm and there were three seals seen during that time.
Again on the Lanikai side of LPB was weaner PO13: large weaner size, light female belly, not yet tagged/
About 1/3 of the distance between the 3BS and SRI was a Juvenile Female: juvenile size, old coat with lots of green, female belly and two red tags.
Out on RRB was RP24 Mohala (RF34 Pua's 2021 female RabbitIsland pup) adult size, new coat, female belly with some apparent scars and the nb on her LFF. She also appears to have a small nb on the tip of her RFF. She looks healthy and Marilyn was happy to see her.
Team R&B's first find was on the west side near the rest camp. It was a clean adult size seal foraging. They could not come up with an ID. The place was packed with people.
On their way out of the area they thought they saw a seal. When they went to look they were surprised to see RU22, female born on Molokai in 2025. She is looking a little thin but okay. There were people near her, so Team R&B walked over to talk with them and call the hotline. They got to their car to park at another spot and by the time they got out they saw a volunteer finally putting up signs.
Next they headed over to plains and the place was packed, especiallywith Access Surf there. There was RT06 Marvin resting in a zone, with a telephone pole on shore. He used it to lean on for security like KP2 in 2009.
Lastly they checked other beaches and didn't find any more seals. But they did see dolphins way out doing what they do best. The surf is big and dangerous.
