Search for Missing American Sailors Intensifies near Mexico
The Mexican navy has expanded its search for three American sailors who have not been heard from in two weeks. The sailors were aboard the 44-foot La Fitte sailing-vessel called Ocean Bound, which set off for San Diego but failed to make contact on April 6 when it was supposed to stop in Cabo San Lucas. The Coast Guard is leading the search and rescue operation, but marinas in Baja California have not reported seeing the vessel. The Coast Guard has asked for anyone with information to call their search and rescue coordination center.
