Mexico searches for 3 missing US sailors with plane, ships
MEXICO CITY (AP) — The Mexican Navy says it is using ships and a plane to search for three Americans who went missing along with their sailboat off Mexico’s northern Pacific coast. The Navy said Monday it is using four patrol boats and a prop airplane to search the area, but apparently no sign of them has turned up yet. The three Americans were aboard the 44-foot (13.5 meter) sailing vessel “Ocean Bound.” The U.S. 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 Mazatlan, Mexico.
