2-2-2014 DBs Dailies:

It would be 1002 before I finally found Aukai (RL12) aon the water front rocks of Rocky Right Beach, on Rabbit Island.

On a pan at 1023 I found a newly arrived Buster (RV08) at the far left end of the beach on RI. His molt remains at 80%.

On a pan at 1125 I found that Kolohe (RW22) had hauled out to join Aukai. All would remain the rest of the day.

For the 3^rd consecutive day I had Bad Guys on RI. This time two separate groups. When I called DOCARE dispatch for the first group I got the much dreaded recording saying that the office was closed. Apparently Super Bowl Sunday is now yet another DOCARE holiday. As it happens I got a call from the DOCARE Officer I worked with yesterday, at the same time that the 2^nd group, a family, was on the island. He was working and was surprised to find that there was no dispatch on duty today. He managed to get this group cited.

Melanie, Gayle & I covered the SE quadrant thoroughly and have nothing but mileage to show for it.

At 0900 Team Billand reported Kermit (R012) at Wind Sock. He departed at 1830.

At 1000 Ocean Safety called with the report of an U/U at 2E, Waikiki. Thank you to Todd and Karen that I know of, and anyone else that served on the front lines today. Dana would advise that it was Makaiwi (R4DF) at 1138. Thanks Karen for the shots.

At 1003 Ocean Safety called again with the report of an U/U in the trough at Magic Island. Posse member Christian Young came through with the Rocky (RH58) ID at 1225.

Cianna called at 1025 with the report of an U/U at Haleiwa. There were apparently loose dog problems at that location. Cops were called. Dana confirmed the RI37 ID at 1415. Thanks to Paul for the shots.

The Billands called at 1134 with a report from Eileen, of Ewa Girl (RS00) at the Reef Runway.

At 1556 the Billands reported RK36 a Maili Point.

At 1655 they reported Benny (RE74) at Tower #2, White Plains. Lifeguards said he arrived at 1445.

Thank you to Brandi Apana for the R5AY&Meli, plus La’akea at Turtle Bay today.

12-19-2012 DB's Dailies: M38,Kaiwi,Nani&U/U@RI, Aukai@SC, Pohaku@Secrets,Makaiwi&Kermit@WP, RI37@Laie, KC@Haleiwa, Ewa Girl&Kekoa@RR, RL54@TB

At 0710 I found Kaiwi (RK96) once again in the grass behind Seal Rock Inlet and M38 and an U/U together, 80 ft left of 2BS on Rabbit Island. I departed the pier for a Spitting Cave run, and when I got back to Makai Pier the Unknown I was gone. Maybe tomorrow ???

At 0853 I found Nani (RK60) up in the Morning Glory, 60 ft left of 1BS on RI. She would later move down to cool off and remained there the rest of the day.

Posse member Susan called at 0914 with the report of a small, tan animal at Spitting Cave. When I arrived at 0949 I found Aukai (RL12) doing 8 minute dives. To my complete surprise I even lucked out an actually got a tag shot, in horrible conditions.

At 0709 Team Billand reported Pohaku (RO28) at Secret Beach, KoOlina.

At 0824 they found Makaiwi (R4DF) between Tower #1 and the fence line at White Plains.

At 0858 the would report Kermit (R012) just down the beach, fronting #1708 at WP.

Lesley checked in at 1035 with the report of RI37 behind Azlina's house, in Laie, just a few feet down the beach from yesterday's location.

Dera called at 1050 to advise that KC (RK28) was confirmed at Kaiaka Beach, Haleiwa.

Dera would call again at 1216 with word from Eileen reporting Ewa Girl (RS00), and a small animal that she believed to be Kekoa, though she could not confirm that.

At 1438 Lesley called to advise that she was with RL54 at the elbow, Turtle Bay. Teri had also seen her earlier in the day.

In the Yesterday's News department posse member Dennis Kunkel did the Kahuku Golf Course to Turtle Bay trek. He would find Right Spot (R016) on the Kahuku side of the point, and the sisters, La'akea (RK82) and RL54 nestled under their tree at the elbow, Turtle Bay.

1-16-2012 DB's Dailies: Kermit @ IR , Duke&Buster@RI, M&M@WP, RI37@Haleiwa, RO28@Koolina, Rocky@IRQ, T15M@WP

When I arrived at Irma's at 0610 I found the area within the signs empty. I wanted soooo much to believe that Kermit had come to his senses and had left the world of the 4WD trails, but I just couldn't ignore that likely looking rock 150 ft down the beach to the west. I picked up the signs and went down the beach to check. Sure enough it was Kermit (R012). I redid the cordon, and the boy has remained all day (D#5), of his Irma's stay. His D#14 molt remains 99.9%. He has some junk on his hind flippers, but that is about it. The boy was still there, high and dry, when I picked up the rope at 1900.

When I got to Makai Pier at 0900 I found Duke (RA12) and Buster (RV08) together at Rocky Right Beach, on Rabbit Island. Duke's ventral wound is healing and has now taken on the classic look of a CC scar.

At 0845 Team Billand checked in with the report of M&M (R020) at tower #2 at White Plains. The Billands reported that M&M departed at 1743.

At 0846 Dana called with the report of RI37 at Kaiaka Beach in Haleiwa. Posse member Kelly Girl called to advise that RI37 had departed at 0915.

At 1019 the Billands reported Pohaku (RO28) at Secret Beach, Koolina. Dana reported that RO28 had departed at 1745. Team Billand called again at 1315 to advise that posse member Clay Gates had reported Rocky (RH58) at IRQ. Team Billand reported T15M fronting 1707 at 1743
