Mexican and US authorities are looking for three American sailors who went missing more than a week ago after sailing from Mexico to San Diego.
The sailors, traveling on a 14-meter boat called Ocean Bound, left Mazatlán, Mexico, on April 4. They missed a scheduled resupply stop in Cabo San Lucas two days later, according to a press release of the US Coast Guard.

The Mexican and US officials are working together to search for the sailors, Kerry O’Brien, Frank O’Brien and William Gross, according to the Coast Guard.
Search and rescue coordinators have contacted marinas throughout Baja, Mexico, but have not received any reported sightings of the boat or its sailors, officials said. Urgent marine information broadcasts have also been broadcast over VHF radio, requesting all seamen to look out for the missing people and the missing ship.
Anyone with information regarding the whereabouts of the three sailors or their ship is asked to contact the United States Coast Guard Search and Rescue Coordination Center at (510) 437-3701.
