September 30, 2026 Wednesday's Dailies

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

Marilyn viewed Rabbit Island from 12:21 to 2:13 pm and there were five seals seen during that time.

Initially alone on the Lanikai side of LPB was R416: small adult size, mottled male belly, no tags. This could also be R430, but Marilyn believes the ventral marks look more like R416.

Nearer the back of LPB was a Sub-adult Unknown:  sub-adult size, light belly, no info on sex or tags.

Later R416 moved nearer to a Weaner Unknown 1, and then entered the LPB channel. A short time later Marilyn saw R416 near the SU who had moved to the Lanikai side of LPB.

In the middle of LPB was Weaner Unknown 1: weaner to juvenile size, no info on sex or tags because the seal never changed position.

On the 1BS side of LPB was a Sub-adult Female: sub-adult size, about 30% molted, female belly, no tags seen.

Out between the 3BS and SRI was Weaner Unknown 2: weaner to juvenile size, no info on sex or tags.

Team R&B first find on the west side was the lovely Miss Kala RH76. She was alone today and hidden in the rocks. 

Then they spotted a tiny seal on shore way up by a rock. A guy who had got close to Kala for a photo was now near the little seal.  Team R&B saw the tag RV20 and  didn't recognize it, also an applied bleach N50. Checking in with the posse they learned this little male was born in January to mom Kaimana RJ58. They were so excited to meet this

new little guy. Team R&B notified the hotline of RV50s location and that there were dogs in the area. Thankfully Team R&B was able to ask them to hold the dog because of the seal, one guy did but the woman wasn't able get the smaller dog. They passed by Whew!

They got a text from posse pal Carol of two seals at the cove. So they headed over to check it out. The two seals were way up on shore by the bushes. There was RP28 Wakea and RL20 Kalua. Posse pal Carol put out signs and stayed to keep an eye on the seals. Mahalo!

They decided to check nimitz and there was R407 Kawika. He was in the same spot as yesterday resting comfortably. They couldn't see if he begun his molt, he was too sandy.

Team R&B made their way to plains and saw a seal that had them a little confused. They saw the scar under belly like Makalii and RP28, but then they saw a tag. They were surprised to see it was RH92 Nalani. She looks clean and shiny with her recently molted new coat. Then they noticed her right head scar, scar under belly and the other CC scar on her flipper. It's been a while since they have seen her.

Heading back to the west side to check on Kala. When they got there she was gone, but there was a smaller green seal. They thought it was RM31 and they were right. He finally showed his tag. They wondered what happened during the time they were gone.  There were some tourist who came by taking photos of RM31 Kai, and became very aware of them and left the area.

They took a chance to see if there were any seals at another west side location. There was a big male, with lots of green on its coat. They believe this is R3CX Nalu. They didn't stay in the area long as the area is kind of sketchy. Thankfully the seal was fine and resting peacefully.

September 28, 2026 Monday's Dailies

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

Marilyn viewed Rabbit Island from 12:06 to 1:34 pm and there were four seals seen during that time. 

Initially there were two seals on the Lanikai side of LPB: 

Recent weaner RV76; large weaner size, light female belly and two red tags.

RV50; smaller weaner size, female belly, three red tags and applied N81 bleach on left side.

There were two more seal in the middle of LPB:

Juvenile Male: weaner to juvenile size,  at least two tags and light male belly,

And Molting Adult Unknown; adult size, old coat, not sure about sec or tags, but probably male, and about 15% molted on the upper chest.

The JM moved down closer to RV76 and RV50 and then all three relocated together on the LPB. One of the three was well hidden behind the other two.

Team R&B started their day with the couple on the west side. Once again the very cute couple RM31 Kai and RJ76 Kala were together keeping each other company. The surf was high and they were still there. They remind me of  the old days with Irma and Kermit.

The surfers were out, there was a young guy trying to get to the surf, but thee waves were big. He went around got in the water and surfed/ Team R&B were a little worried for him but the best part he made it safely back to shore and gave them a big shaka.

Then they got a call of black smoke makaha side. They saw a fire and flames, thick black smoke. Thankfully someone call HFD and they put it out.

They got a text from posse pal Caril of two seals aat KoOlina, but they left since there were so many people. At Kahe Team R&B stood and watched the dolphins they spotted RL20 Kalua passing by. He never landed.

Then they got another text of a seal on shore at nimitz. They got to the area and found Mr. Kawika R407 alone and resting. While on site they spotted a wee skeleton (Halloween is around the corner)

They were thrilled to spot another seal. They couldn't tell much so they had to goo down the cliff and there on shore was Makalii R416. He was  alone resting. They hadn't seen him since RL70 passed. R517 is looking good with green on his coat.
