Missing U.S. Sailors Urge Mexican Navy, U.S. Coast Guard to Search

The Mexican Navy and US Coast Guard are looking for three US sailors who have been missing for 11 days.

The sailors – identified as Kerry O’Brien, Frank O’Brien and William Gross – were last heard from on April 4, the US Coast Guard said in a news release on Friday. At the time, they were near Mazatlán, Mexico, a city in the coastal state of Sinaloa.

When the three left Mazatlán, they were heading to San Diego. The sailors planned to stop in Cabo San Lucas en route – “to stock up and check in” on April 6, the US Coast Guard said.

There is no record of the three Americans arriving in Cabo San Lucas or of the group reporting their location, the Coast Guard said.

Authorities also received no sightings of the group or the 44-foot LaFitte boat, named “Ocean Bound,” they were sailing with.

“Search and rescue coordinators have contacted marinas in Baja, Mexico with negative sightings of the vessel,” the Coast Guard wrote. “Urgent marine information broadcasts were broadcast by VHF radio asking all sailors to watch for missing persons and vessel.”

The Mexican Navy searches for the sailors with the help of the US Coast Guard. Anyone with information about “the whereabouts of Kerry O’Brien, Frank O’Brien and William Gross or the sailing ship Ocean Bound” is urged to contact authorities.

According to ABC News, traveling from Mazatlán to Cabo San Lucas by boat requires sailing more than 200 miles through the southern Gulf of California.
