The Mexican Navy, with the assistance from the U.S. Coast Guard, is searching for three American sailors, last heard from April 4, near Mazatlán, Mexico.
Three persons aboard the sailing vessel Ocean Bound, a 44-foot La Fitte, reportedly left Mazatlán en route to San Diego, California.
“The sailors planned to stop in Cabo San Lucas on April 6 for provisions and to report in before continuing on to San Diego,” a Coast Guard release states.
There was no record of them arriving in Cabo San Lucas or of a report in of their location, according to the release.
Search and rescue coordinators have contacted marinas throughout Baja, Mexico, with no sightings of the vessel. Urgent marine information broadcasts have also been issued over VHF radio requesting all mariners to keep a lookout for the missing persons and vessel.
