Live....Local... Connected !!.. ROCKY (RH58) PUPPED !!! Yep.... Dera called at 0820 (and moments later, Tracy) with the word that Rocky and pup had been found at around 0700, ...... on Kauai. Rocky , always striving to make our lives as easy as possible, was even kind enough to give birth within the already established cordon for RK22 and her pup. Shes just that kinda' girl !! Let's hope Momma Rocky teaches RK22 some skills on mothering.... although seems RK22 is holding her own. But our Rockstar is a great momma.

At 0925 I found Buster (RV08), on the water front rocks, 70 ft left of SRI. He would be the one and only RI resident today.

While at Makai Pier on a routine pan of Kaupo Beach Park, at 0941, I found to my shock and awe, that there was an animal out amongst the rocks, 50 ft off shore of Kaupo Beach Park. I immediately relocated to KBP, and after wading out to the site, found Irma (R010). I remained
there with her until 1300, and then rechecked every hour or so. I put up nothing since it would only draw attention to her. She was so perfectly blended with the rocks that the few people that showed up in the area never had a clue she was out there. 

Barbara Billand checked in at 0752 to report Max (R5EW) fronting the Lighthouse near Germaine's Luau Grounds. At 0753 she called again to advise that Robert had found Makaiwi (R4F) just down the beach at Palm Grove, Campbell Industrial Park.

At 0637, from the Makapuu Overview, I found Duke (RA12) on the water front rocks, 60 ft left of Seal Rock Inlet on Rabbit Island. When I got to Makai Pier at 0700 I found that he had been newly joined by Buster (RV08). Buster reentered the water at 0704, and Duke followed.

When I got back to Makai Pier at 0915 I found Duke just hauling out, 30 ft left of SRI, and Buster just hauling out 60 ft left of SRI. Buster

would galumph down to join Duke. Both remained there together the rest of the day.

Dera called at 1430 with the report of an animal just hauling out to the right side of Makapuu Beach. When I arrived at 1442 I found Irma (R010) and cordoned her off. 

Team Billand checked in at 0855 to report 2AW at Electric Beach  

The Billands responded to a Dera call about an animal at Germaine's Luau Grounds. At 1030 they advised that Max (R5EW) in nearly the exact spot as yesterday's haul out. Naturally, there just had to be one local guy that didn't wanna' follow the rules.
Dera called at 1115 to advise of an animal fronting the trailers at the Turtle Bay Hotel. Dera called at 1713 to say that Jeannie Martinson had ID'd KC. 

A late email from Dera brought news that RK22, on Kauai (KP2's Mom) gave birth today, and so far is behaving like a normal Mom.  Word is she really doing her job, although there is still caution... this would be one of those cases where anything that might spook Mom could result in her taking off.... lets' just hope Mom doesn't decide to go check out the boys if they come by to visit.
