3-1-2014 DB's Dailies: Kermit@WSK, Ka'ena&RL42@KP, Benny@Nanakuli, RIP@WP, Kerby&Kolohe@Maili

Today was one of those thankfully rare, Nobody/Nowhere days in the SE Quadrant.

At 0800 the Billands advised that they were following a foraging animal heading from WP to the west. It never hauled out, but appeared to be Ewa Girl (RS00)

While following Ewa Girl they discovered a dead turtle off shore. WP Lifeguard Dennis swam out and retrieved it. It was later picked up at White Plains.

At 0903 Team Billand called with the report of Kermit (R012). He would depart at 1430.

Marilyn called from the end of the world at 1014 with the report of Ka’ena (RO40) at the Runway at Ka’ena Pt. She would check in again at 1124 to advise that Ka’ena had moved, and was now on the Main Beach and in the company of RL42.

Dana called at 1028 to report Benny (RE74) in Nanakuli.

At 1301 Melanie called with the report of RIP (RR70) at White Plains. ID was by his N1 bleach. He would depart at 1430.

2-28-2014 DB's Dailies: Kainoa&Aukai@RI, Ka'ena,Luana,U/F, RL42@KP, Kermit@WSK, Haupu@WP, RIP&Kerby@Maili Pt, RI37,La'akea&Meli@TB

At 0850 I found what would prove to be Kainoa (RN04) snoozin’, 50 ft left of 2BS on Rabbit Island. ID was by his N0 bleach. He would remain all day.

On a pan at 1042 I discovered a animal between the 1^st and 2^nd caves, at the right end of RI. Sighting there are rare. It would take 3 hours but it would prove to be Aukai (RL12). ID was by her N12 bleach.

At 0709 Team Billand reported an overnighted Kermit (R012) at Wind Sock. He was gone on their 1340 check.

At 1143 volunteer Trudy advised the Billands of the arrival of an animal to Tower#2, White Plains. The Billands would confirm the Haupu (RB24) ID at 1428.

At 1548 the Billands reported RIP (RR70) and Kerby (RW08) at Maili Pt. Beach goers advised that there had been yet another animal there earlier.

Dana checked in a 1600 with word of La’akea (RK82) and RI37 at Right Spot’s Spot, Turtle Bay. She further advised that Meli was happy and well at the birth beach.

In the Yesterday’s News department, Kimo Smith got cable back and sent Ka’ena Point shots from yesterday’s trek. He found Ka’ena (R040) at his tide pool, and Luana & the new little female together on the back beach. On the way home he found R018 at Mokuleia Beach Park.

Kimo did another KP run today, and found Ka’ena (RO40), Luana (RN58) & RL42.

We all know this is sooo wrong... but again there are times when I am reminded unless people are made aware... they really don't know they are doing something wrong. I mention this here because this is a typical photo opp.... seal sleeping... and a person kneels close by.
