Holokai

5/2/2016 DB's Dailies: Sadie&Pup(D#5),&Kainoa@Rabbit Island, Cass@Spitting Cave, Aukai&Kekoa@Nanakuli, Pohaku@Nanakuli, Kekoa@Maili Point, Holokai@Turtle Bay,

At 0705 I found Sadie & Pup (RB12)(D#5) at the far left end of the beach, where they remained all day. The kid was ranging away from Mom to rolling the shore break, with Mom watching closing but not participating. The kid got rolled a few times but there was nothing dangerous about the experiences. Other than that it was snooze & feed.

 At 1007 Kainoa (RN04) hauled out to the water front rocks of Seal Rock Inlet.

 At 1510 Todd&Darlene called to advise that they were with Cass (RG06) at Spitting Cave. This was their last official act before departing for Manitoba. See Ya’ next April guys !!

 At 0625 Team Billand reported 2 foragers off shore of Nanakuli. They would later confirm the Aukai (RL12) & Kekoa (RK72) ID.

 At 0940 they reported seeing somebody down the way on the beach at Nanakuli. This was supported with an Ocean Safety call at 0943. When they arrived at 0957 they confirmed the Pohaku (RO28) ID . She would depart at 1130.

 At 1427 the Billands reported that Kekoa (RK73) hauled out to Maili Point.

 An 1805 text from Diane Terai advised that she was with Holokai (RG40) at the Elbow, Turtle Bay. When Diane departed in the dark, Holokai was still there.

5/1/2016 DB's Dailies: Right Spot@Sandy Beach, Sadie&Pup@Rabbit Island, Buster@Lanai Lookout, Cass@Spitting Cave, RL42@Makua Cliffs, BG&Holokai@Turtle Bay, Kekoa@Maili Point, KC@MCBH

Posse member Cheryl called at 0600 to advise of an animal at the east end of Sandy Beach, surrounded by tourist. When I arrived at 0604 I found Right Spot (R016), with adoring hordes. I got her cordoned off just in time since more hordes were departing their buses. Somehow she managed to make it all day, departing of her own volition at 1630. Mahalos to Marilyn , Melanie & Gayle for yet another day of what we do.

 At 0728 I found Sadie & Pup on D#4, at the far left end of the beach. They were all alone today. The most noteable thing about today was how vocal the pup was. Lots of talking. Heat distortion from the north winds made shots difficult.

 A Dana text at 0800 advised of “V38" (Buster) on the rocks at Blowhole. Both Marilyn and I covered every aspect of what that could mean, and found nothing. Marilyn called at 0840 to advise that she had found him at Lanai Lookout at “Buster Flats”, on the left side of the lookout. I arrived shortly thereafter, and Gayle & Melanie (she saw the V39 tag) also found him through the day.

 At 0907 Marilyn called with the report of an animal at Spitting Cave. She confirmed the Cass (RG06) ID.

 At 1105 I got a Lusi Perry text with a shot of somebody at the Elbow, Turtle Bay. The shot was inconclusive, but when her real shots arrived this evening it was most certainly BG (R303). Posse member Vicki was up there late afternoon and saw BG also, and at 1859 saw Holokai (RG40) haul out.

 At 1138 Team Billand found RL42 at Makua Cliffs.

 At 1256 they called with the report of Kekoa (RK72) at Maili Point.

 Shots from Twogood Kayaks personnel at 1221 showed KC (RK28) at MCBH, possibly Fort Hase Beach.
