Start and end your sojourn with two nights free dockage at the beautiful <a title="Old Bahama Bay web site" href="http://www.oldbahamabay.com/" target="_blank">Old Bahama Bay</a>, located at West End, <a title="About Grand Bahama Island " href="http://www.bahamas.com/grand-bahama-island/grand-bahama-island" target="_blank">Grand Bahama Island</a>, your main waypoint of entry to the Abacos, and a legendary bonefish destination. Break out the fly rod and practice up for the adventure ahead.....
From Old Bahama Bay, head east towards at the renowned <a title="Green Turtle Club web site" href="http://www.greenturtleclub.com/" target="_blank">Green Turtle Club</a>, established in 1964 on picturesque Green Turtle Cay, enjoying a two night stay in a Superior Deluxe room. Honoring the tradition of old English-Bahamian hospitality, the Club offers a quality of service and attention to detail that is no longer commonplace, finding a perfect combination of Out Island relaxation and sophisticated comfort. While in residence, you’ll enjoy a complimentary candlelight dinner overlooking White Sound Harbour , or if you prefer, inside in the elegant formal dining room.

Vaughn Cochran’s come a long way from his days playing bass guitar for Jimmy Buffet at night and fishing the flats of Key West by days. He’ll tell you hands down this area of the Abacos is second to none for great bonefishing and permit action, although famed outdoor angler and photographer <a title="Pat Ford Photography web site" href="http://www.patfordphotos.com/" target="_blank">Pat Ford</a> will tell you Bimini is without question the best for taking permit on fly...Sounds like Vaughn’s a winner either way.

![](mailto:?subject=Where Has Amanda the Loggerhead Sea Turtle Gone Since Juno Beach Release 2 Weeks Ago?&body=<a href="https://guyharveyoutpostblog.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/06/turtle.jpeg"><img class=" size-medium wp-image-2782 alignleft" src="https://guyharveyoutpostblog.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/06/turtle.jpeg?w=242" alt="turtle" width="242" height="300" /></a>
Amanda’s zig-zag route might look like she’s one confused sea turtle, but experts say the 300-pound loggerhead knows what she’s doing. "Her path is what we expected. She’s making a loop to get her bearings,” said Charlie Manire, director of research and rehabilitation at the Loggerhead Marinelife Center.
Since being released into the Atlantic Ocean from the LMC in Juno Beach on June 11, Amanda as of Tuesday has criss-crossed her way a little bit north and a lot south. That’s close to 180 miles, or about 14 miles a day.
She was last detected swimming a few miles off Delray Beach, according to seaturtle.org.
Amanda swam north about 5 miles, and then headed about 10 miles out to sea.
She then headed south and swam around between Juno Beach and West Palm Beach, less than 10 miles offshore.
For the past few days, Amanda has been meandering south, Mani-re said.
“She’s probably following a food source. She’s going where the crab, lobster, conch and shrimp are,” he said.
Amanda will teach researchers a little more about where sea turtles travel, how deep they dive, water temperatures and how fast they swim, thanks to a cell-phone-sized tracking device attached to her reddish-brown shell.
The gadget is designed to fall off after a couple of years, Manire said.
Researchers check her whereabouts daily and post Amanda’s location on marinelife.org.
While the location function of the device is working, the satellite programming to transmit depth and water temperature is not activated yet. It should kick in within about a month.
Amanda arrived at LMC on Dec.
28. Divers rescued her about a mile offshore from the Lake Worth Inlet. The turtle suffered from trauma to both of her front flippers, Manire said.
LMC is a nonprofit organization that rehabilitates and researches sea turtles. About 50 injured sea turtles are released into the Atlantic Ocean annually, as well as about 2,000 hatchlings.
The organization also counts sea turtle nests on the 10-mile stretch of beach from Juno Beach to the Martin County line.
About 225,000 visitors come to the center on U.S. 1 annually, according to LMC.
