11/4/2016 DB's Daillies: Kekoa&Kawena@Rabbit Island, Kolohe@Lanai Lookout, R8HE@KoOlina, Pohaku@CIP, Kerby@Maili Point, Ka'ena@Ka'ena Point,

At 0800 I found Kekoa (RK72) snoozin’ , 80 ft right of 3BS on Rabbit Island.

 On a pan at 1005 I found a likely looking rock amongst many other likely looking rocks, but this one had an N36 bleach on the side. I had found Kawena (RH36) at Rocky Right Beach, on Rabbit Island. Both remained all day.

 At 1225 I found Kolohe (RW22)(1229), on the Lanai Lookout Flats.

 At 0647 Team Billand reported R8HE in Lagoon#3 KoOlina. She would depart at 0753, only to reported again by the Billands, at 0846, now in Lagoon#2, KoOlina. They would report her departure there at 1419.

 At 1128 the Billands found Pohaku (RO28) foraging off shore of Campbell Industrial Park.

 Kerby (RW08) was their next find, at Maili Point at 1340.

 A Lesley call at 1448 brought news that had worked its way from the Big Island to Oahu. She advised that B.I. mom RW34 had given birth yesterday on the Big Island. November births are a rarity.

11/3/2016 DB's Dailies: Kolohe,Kawena&Kekoa@Rabbit Island, Kawai@Diamond Head, RK36@Hidden Beach, Ka'ena,RL04&Aukai@Ka'ena Point, RW02@Mokuleia, Lei Ola & Ka'ale@West side KP Trail, R8HE@Kalaeloa Boat Harbor,

Rabbit Island, as well as Kaupo Beach Park were Monk Seal free on my first pass at 0717.

 When I got back to Makai Pier at 0835 I found that Kolohe (RW22) & Kawena (RH36) were together below the Morning Glory fronting 1BS , on Rabbit Island.

 At 0853 Kekoa (RK72) hauled out to join the others. He and Kolohe had words and Kolohe maintained his prime location next to Kawena, blocking Kekoa’s every attempt to change that. Kolohe would keep him at bay all day.

 A Colleen email at 0730 advised that she had Kaiwi (RK96) on the beach right behind her house. Mark Sullivan (NOAA) got an N96 bleach on her. Mahalos to Colleen&Mark for the shots. Colleen advised that Kaiwi was gone at 1722.

 Posse members Tammy&Dave T., did the End of the World today from the north side. At 0906 they reported RK36 at Hidden Beach. At 0955 they reported Aukai (RL12), Ka’ena (RO40) & RL04 at Ka’ena Point. On their way home they reported RW02 at Mokuleia, near the Lyman Mansion.

 Lesley confirmed the RW02 ID when she got home. A Diane Gabriel text at 1215 advised that she, Lesley&Carola had done the west side Ka’ena Point trail,to Ka’ena Point, and had found Lei Ola (RH48)& RL04 at separate locations on the journey.

 Team Billand had seen Benny briefly, as he was departing Paradise Cove, dark & early.

 The only real find of the day came at 1215 when they happened to find R8HE at the Kalaeloa Boat Harbor.
