The U.S. Coast Guard is asking the public for help in a search for three Americans who went missing while traveling by sailboat off the Pacific coast of Mexico. The sailors were last heard from two weeks ago after departing Mazatlán in Sinaloa state.
Friday, the U.S. Coast Guard said it is aiding the Mexican Navy in the search for Kerry O’Brien, Frank O’Brien and William Gross, or the 44-foot sailing vessel they were on, Ocean Bound.
According to the Coast Guard, the trio reportedly left Mazatlán on April 4 on a trip that would end in San Diego. They planned to stop in Cabo San Lucas on April 6 to pick up supplies and check in.“However, there was no record of them arriving in Cabo San Lucas or a report in of their location,” the news release says.Sailboat crew rescued in Pacific after abandoning ship sunk by whale
