At 0610 I found Kaiwi (RK96) waiting for me when I pulled into Kaiwi Kove. She would throw us a few new wrinkles today. She departed at 1150, and I found her again when I got back for a 1403 check. She would depart again with the rising tide at 1442. Thank you the Elves for just being !! Ya' Done Good !!

At 0712 I found Irma (R010) just hauling out to Makapuu Beach. I got her cordoned off, and she has remained all day.

My Rabbit Island observation time was very limited today. An animal with 2 red tags, hauled out to the water front rocks at Seal Rock Inlet, but because I was in and out so much I never got an ID. When I got back at 1445, the animal was gone, and I did not see it again .

I got a call from a fisherman posse member at 1236 reporting an animal in the water at the Kaiser Estate dock at the Kokee Flats. I arrived to find a very high tide with no possibility of a haul out, but I did see a piece of camera/phone video showing an U/U , adult sized animal returning to the water. The footage has no ID value. I checked China Walls, and Spitting Cave also but never found anybody. I'd put my dollar on Rocky, but ????????

Team Billand reported RO28 at Paradise Cove at 0813.

At 0855 They found Noa (R6FI) and R018 together at Maili Point.

At 1018 they reported 2AW at Lualualei BP. Thanks to DOCARE Officer Keawe who went above and beyond, protecting 2AW.

At 1512 Team Billand reported Kermit (R012) fronting #1944, at White Plains.

Dera checked in at 1240 to advise that Reef Runway posse member Eileen had once again reported Ewa Girl (RS00) , and son Kekoa (RK72) nose to nose at the birth beach, Reef Runway.

Thank you for looking out for our seals

 Was there a reason DOCARE was called out, or were they just watching over until Team Billand arrived?
