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.

Once again starting their day on the west side and finding the two love birds together again. Kala RH76 and Kai RM31 were hidden in the rocks sound a sleep.  Team R&B rechecked on them three times during the day and they were still there. Except later moved to the shallow pond for a snooze together.

When they first arrived at rest camp in was morning and dark making

it hard to see the seals in the water. The sun popped up a bit and they saw R3CX Nalu chasing an unknown sub-adult. Still unable to get an ID on this young'en with a clean coat.  They also saw Lei Ola briefly, she took off to open ocean and the other two followed leaving Team R&B stranded.  They waited for a while but none of them came back.

They kept scanning beaches from afar and saw a really green adult seal on shore. They headed over to the area, which is kind of "sketchy". There was a homeless guy throwing stuff, so they stayed

away from him. Anyway on shore alone was a male with a green coat. They believe it's Nalu and they think he's starting to molt. He molted here last year. 

As they drove along the coast they spotted another seal who also had a green coat. It is a male and tags they could see the tag RL08. They had never seen him there before. He's looking big and green! They were surprised to see him.

As a closing note Team R&B (and I agree) they are happy and relieved Hurricane Nolo kept going away from the islands. Today was beautiful, less wind, no rain and sunny skies.

At a west side location they saw two seal tucked away in the rocks. One was RM31 Kai and the larger seal was RH76 Kala. They are pretty cute together and vulnerable. This area has a lot of traffic. A woman came by and walked down to the seals. Kala wasn't having it and let the lady have it. The woman ran all the back in seconds....... hmmm too bad the seals don't do this more often. Team R&B got a chuckle out of it.

Over by rest camp they spotted two seals foraging once again. They were able to ID RH48 Lei Ola and R3CX Nalu. He charged her several times and she took off. 

Then they noticed another seal, but they weren't able to get an ID; The seal was sub-adult size, clean coat and tags.  It was super windy sand blowing and trees swaying. They saw a black box and tried to get to it. They asked a lady to bring it to them, but instead she opened it and took off.  Wonder what it was?

At kahe they found Wakea RP28. He was alone and resting.  Team R&B did get to enjoy the dolphins. They also saw someone getting rescued from way out.

They got word from posse pal Carol of a seal at nimitz, so they headed out. It was super windy making it even hard to walk.  There on shore was Kawika R407 with leaves flying by. He didn't seem bothered by any of it.
