Team R&B started out at pokai and found the lovely Miss Kala RH76. She was way up on shore in a deep snooze.  When they went back later in the day she was gone.

They spotted R3CX Nalu foraging in the area. As far as they could tell he was alone. This weather definitely makes searching for the seals a challenge, between the mud, puddles and cold. Here's hoping we get clear skies ahead.

Next they spotted a seal from afar that was on shore at electric beach. The seal was a big male, or as they called him a big bugga! The seal was RH32 Kaale.

While they were watching Nalu who was still foraging they noticed the rain coming in after about 45 minutes. So they hurried for cover. But then out of no where they spotted a small seal foraging. Of course they had to figure out which one of the youngen was out there. They took a bunch of photos hoping to capture something. Finally the seal threw up its hind flippers and they got the money shot. There was RU12 foraging with "uncle" Nalu.

An update to the Unknown Male that has been hanging out at Iroquois has been ID'd by NOAA as R427. He has only been seen on Oahu a few times in the past couple of years, and has been seen on Big Island and Kauai. His best identifiers are left chest scarring, hind flipper notches and deep line creases on the sides of his muzzle.

Team R&B started their day at Pokai and found Miss Leina RL70. She was in her favorite spot where the native flowers bloom. She was so still and getting lots of rest  in this crappy weather. When they went back later she was gone.

They headed over to yoks and found RG28 Lefty high up on the shore. He is about 80% molted and

resting peacefully.

While onsite they saw a seal from afar and made their way to the area. The tourist were all heading over. They ID'd RP30 Puka and he soon scooted his way to the water once the crowds where around.

They got a call about a seal at Nimitz so they made their way over. When they got to the area they found old dude R407 Kawika. He for sure likes this area. 

Team R&B made the rounds today with a little break in the weather.

They found R416 Makalii snoozing at Nimitz. She was on shore on this cold, breezy drizzly day. He looked healthy peaceful and content.

They continued their search and over at Electric Beach they spotted two seals on shore. It was RL08 with the lovely RL12 Aukai. They were both snoozing peacefully.

Team R&B realized they hadn't see their boy Nalu R3CX. So they went looking and were happy to find him out there foraging as usual.

While watching over Nalu they educated some folks they were asking what they were taking pictures of. As Team R&B were walking away

they saw there was a commotion in the water. At first they thought it was a shark, but watching carefully they saw there was a small seal with Nalu. The lighting was dark but they managed to get on tag shot and confirmed the little one was RU40. Then they saw another seal with a scar on its neck and figured out it was RL70.   It was a good seal day.

Team R&B waited for the rain to stop and eventually they went out while it was still raining. They couldn't keep themselves away. Their first find was the lovely Kala RH76 snoozing alone on this cold rainy day. 

They heard seals so they headed over and saw a young seal, but no ID. The other was an adult but no ID, they did not see either of them again.

Miss Kala remained there all day and on their last check she was there in the rain.

On their travels they saw there was a boat run aground at Nanakuli. Large fishing boat full of gear washed up on shore. DLNR and Coast Guard were on site with the owner of the boat.

Making their way over to yoks they spotted RG28 Lefty. He was way up on shore snoozing alone. He is about 80% molted, just his butt area is left to molt.

They were happy to see a very big healthy turtle on shore alive and well without any lines or hooks. 

They headed back to check on RH76  and she was still in the same spot.  They did see R3CX Nalu out foraging in the rain. He was alone today filling his belly. Team R&B sat at one location for a while waiting for the rain to stop. They were hoping to see whales, dolphins or more seals, but it wasn't in the cards. They brought a close to this stormy day.
