TURTLE: We're the turtles headed?

We've been studying the Loggerhead Sea Turtle since January and have
come up with some questions. It looks to us like the turtles have been
moving towards Europe and the Mediterranean Sea even though we see land
close by (the U.S.). We know their favorite food is crabs and we think
crabs live in shallow water. However, they seem to be moving towards
the deeper water. Why are they going that way? What will they eat?
Finally, why is there only one record of turtle #09038.
