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

Marilyn viewed Rabbit Island from 12:35 to 3:08 pm and there were three seals seen during that time. 
About 40 feet Lanikai side of the 1BS were the two weaners looking like manapua.
RV76 larger weaner size, female belly two red tags. She disappeared about 1:02 pm and appeared about 2:26 directly down from the 1BS.
RV50: smaller weaner size, female belly, three red tags and N81 applied bleach on her left side.
At 1:26 pm Marilyn became aware of the sub-adult between the 3BS and SRI channel. This turned out to be a Sub-adult Male: sub-adult size, small adult size, newer coat, male belly not sure about tags.

Team R&B were on the west side by rest camp when they saw two seals foraging. One seal was an adult with a clean coat, not sure about tags. Reported as an Unknown Adult. The other adult had lots of green but their pictures did not help ID.

Meanwhile over at the outfall where there were three seal foraging. They were able to ID R3CX Nalu, but had no luck IDing the other two Unknown Adults.
Then they spotted an adorable young seal passing by. They couldn't see tags, but did see a scar under the right eye, clean coat (newly molted). The young seal kept going and didn't haul out. They though maybe it might be RU04, but reported as an Unknown Sub-adult.
They hung out in the area, when another seal arrived. It was R617 cruising along and he came in and landed, looking around.  He rolled over and over then left. Guess he didn't find what he was looking for. 
He is looking handsome, they saw his scar on his head and ding on shoulders, no tags.

They got a text from posse pal Carol of two seals hauled out at paradise cove. It took Team R&B a while before they finally made it out. There on shore was RP28 Wakea looking green and plump.
The other seal was clean coat, RL20 Kalua. He seems to have lost his L21 tag.

September 13, 2026 Sundays Dailies

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

Marilyn viewed Rabbit Island from 12:54 to 3:00 pm and there were two seals seen during that time.
RV50 (applied bleach N81) hauled out to the middle of LPB just after Marilyn started viewing: weaner size, yellow female belly, three red tags and N81 bleach.
At 1:57 Marilyn found recently tagged RV76 formerly PO13, playing in the tide pools way out on the rock flats Lanikai side of LPB. She appeared to be mouthing things in the tide pool. She then entered the
SRI channel and later hauled out on LPB. She's large weaner size, light female belly and two red tags.

Team R&B started on the west side, and they were watching Mr and Mrs Ayla and a friend chop up the Lauhala tree and the milo tree. Lowell knocked both down, sad to see the trees gone after so many years.
As they looked out at the ocean they spotted a seal, nor sure of tags, female and clean  coat. They determined it was RH48 Lei Ola.  
They also watched a plover resting.
Also on the west side resting alone on the rocks was RG28 Lefty. They can see all his cc scars, but still handsome. They noted RG28 was Pohaku's son born on Kauai. And he has many cc scars just like
his mom.
At another spot on the west side they found a green seal resting on the rocks. It was very difficult to read his tag, but they got it. It is Wakea RP28. He is looking good, nothing new to report other than he is still hooked.
Lastly they found RP30 Puka in the same spot. He was alone resting peacefully. There was an Iwa bird flying over them.
