News from Molokai Friday 8/29

Aloha,
Wow, just had to share the big find for today. Making our way back to the car from our trek to Laau Pt we found this little gem at KauPoa beach... This is RA02-03. Male seal born at Kalaupapa this spring. He has ventured Kalaupapa around Ilio Pt and is headed for Laau Pt. We have decided to give him a name----from now on he will be known as Anders or nickname--Andy!!! Diane named him after her young grandson-Anders.
He looked so sweet and innocent just soaking up all the sunshine. Attached are a couple photos.Diane and I were at Kalaupapa earlier this summer when he got his flipper bling!! Now we will wait and see when some of the other A's start showing up in our trek area!!!
twas a fun day on Molokai watching seals.......................

fondly, val :)
