"Checkers" the green sea turtle back at home

"Checkers" the green sea turtle, is back at home in the ocean.

This is the first sea turtle release of the year for the folks at the Loggerhead Marinelife Center in Juno Beach.

"Checkers" has been recuperating there since October when he was found stranded at Jupiter's Carlin Park.
