October 2, 2026 Friday's Dailies

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

Starting out on the west side and it took them a bit to find any seals. They saw a woman yelling and then she yelled at Team R&B. They saw a seal scrambling over the rocks and ponds making a get away. The woman told them the seal was in danger, stuck and trying to get out, it was trapped. Team R&B explained the seal was not stuck and she should leave it alone. That she scared the seal. The woman was high and just kept yelling, so the poor seal took off to open ocean. Team R&B saw it had a tag, but they couldn't read it, just that it was adult size. Team R&B were so upset and tried telling her not to go down to the seal, don't yell at it, that seal was trying to come in and rest from the big surf.  A police chopper flew above them, and she asked if she was going to get busted. Team R&B said yes (lol) that the seals are protected by the State and Federal Laws. That what she did was not right, leave the seal be.

Still on the west side they spotted a "blimp" on shore. It was weaner RV20 Pohaku. A woman walked within inches of the seal to pick up shells. So they hurried down, and the seal came right up and a wave washed over it. Seems he is going to settle in for a bit.  There were so many people passing the area, surely driving Team R&B crazy.  They eventually left the area and RV20 remained on shore.

Then they headed over to Makaha and found Nalu R3CX on shore. He was alone resting and not a sould around. They noticed he has begun his molt.

Team R&B made their way to paradise cove where they found a seal in the rocks. It was well hidden from people. They had a hard time getting an ID but they believe this is RL12 Aukai.

At the outfall they saw an adult seal foraging. It was alone and they could not be sure if it was a male or female or if it had tags. Reported as an Unknown Adult.

Their last find of the day was at nimitz. On shore resting was Kawika R407. They could not see if he has started his molt yet.
Weekend coming up, there are poles and buckets already out. They'll check to see if R407 remains there.

October 01, 2026 Thursday's Dailies

Starting their day on the west side they were delighted to find RV20 Pohaku. While being thrilled to see him they worry about the area with so many transient folks in the area. He is so cute and little. His other tag is V24. 
They stayed with him for 2 and half hours watching out for him during the heavy rains. It was humid, dogs and people hanging
around. One tourist came by saw the seal and walked right up to him. oh well.
Then they spotted Miss Kala RH76 and Mr. Kai RM31 in the rocks resting peacefully. Thankfully there was no one around to disturb them, at least for now.  The rain returned so Team R&B headed for the car.

What they thought would be the last find for the day Mr. Kawika R407. He was alone and resting. But.......

They got a very late text of two seal hauled out at plains. They weren't that far away so they headed over and found Miss Huakai KG89. She was with a big make, no tags seen. He was sandy and green on his coat. They thought it could be RN14 Kalani but just couldn't confirm.
