January 21, 2026 Wednesday's Dailies

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

Team R&B had appointments today. They made a quick stop by pokai and they noted that over the last couple of days crews were out surveying the Jetty. There is talk about repairs to the area. The jetty was damaged from the hurricane in 1992. Good news work will get done, bad news what the heck took so long.

While in the city they stopped and saw some Fairy Terns.  

After their appointment they made it out to electric beach. From afar they spotted a seal briefly onshore.

They did their best to get a photo for an ID, but folks got in the way and the seal left. They reported the seal as an Unknown Adult.

At pokai they were happy to see a seal resting in the zen area. It was their lovely Miss Kala RH76. She was alone and resting peacefully.

At yoks they saw the whales far out. Seeing the whales made for a perfect ending to the day.

12/9/2017 Monk Seal Dailies: Hokulea @ Pokai Bay, Two Rabbit Island Critters, and Buster

Today's dailies are brought to you by Team Billand, Gayle, Marilyn and Lesley.  Lesley provided a full report of Ka'ena Point trek, which I included in part 2.

Team Billand had an unusual but most interesting day. They searched for seals and came up empty, but while on their search they came across the Hokulea off of Nimitz, Campbells, Kahe, Maili, Waianae to Pokai Bay.  At Pokai Bay they watched all the people gather to enjoy seeing the HoKulea, Hikianalia, and Kainoauli coming in.  Team Billand had to leave before the Hokulea landed in the bay.  Team Billand returned after their appointment and much to their delight there was all three vessels on shore, up close and personal !

Gayle checked Rabbit Island this morning and spotted one seal. She did a recheck when she got to Kaupo at 14:00 she spotted two critters together. Possible one hauled up later or was just out of sight.
Gayle also found Buster at Sandy Beach and apparently he came in last night and snoozed based on his trail. She found him closer to the water and she thought he would be leaving, but that was not Buster's plan. By days end he moved back to the trail where he settled in for the evening. Gayle left him at 18:05.

 Irma R010 @ Pokai Bay

 An unwanted visitor WAY to close to Irma 

Okay.. does he think she's going to sniff him like a dog? Really wish these seals would just be a little more aggressive and let people know to BACK OFF. 

 Irma, I'm out of here!

 Beautiful
