Mexico City — The Mexican Navy said Monday it is using ships and a plane to search for three Americans who went missing with their sailboat off Mexico’s north Pacific coast.
The Navy said they are using four patrol boats and a twin-engine prop plane to search the area, but apparently no sign of the missing people has yet appeared.
The three Americans were aboard the 44-foot (13.5 meter) vessel “Ocean Bound.” The US Coast Guard gave their names as Kerry O’Brien, Frank O’Brien, and William Gross.
They have not been heard from since April 4, when they were near the Pacific coast port of Mazatlán, Mexico. The three planned to stop for supplies in the Baja resort of Cabo San Lucas, before continuing on to San Diego.
However, the Coast Guard said no marinas in Baja California have reported sightings of the vessel.
