Turtle Watch needs a volunteer boat

There are two turtles in rehab over in Panama City that are going to need to be put back in the ocean in the near future. We are looking for someone who can volunteer a boat to take the turtles and a federal permit holder or two out a couple miles from shore to release the turtles.
If you are interested, please contact Sharon Maxwell with South Walton Turtle Watch at (850) 685-6281.
At least one of the turtles is a big larger, so a boat closer to the water such as a pontoon may work better.
Do we have any volunteers out there looking to do a good deed for a great local cause?

I thought the Gulfarium did that sort of thing.

Apparently they have no boat for turtles. This may be a first time situation.
