At 0635 I found Buster (RV08) back in his rut at Blowhole, doing 7 minute dives. I last saw him swimming east at 0933. Sandy Beach posse member , Jesse called at 0938 to advise of an animal just starting to haul out at the east end of Sandy Beach. When I arrived at 0943 I found Buster (RV08) hauling out. I cordoned him off. Buster rolled to the sea at 1832. Thank you Gayle !!
