SAN DIEGO—A search was continuing April 15 for three American citizens who were sailing from Mexico to San Diego but have been missing for more than a week.
Kerry O‘Brien, Frank O’Brien, and William Gross left Mazatlán, Mexico, on April 4 on the sailing vessel Ocean Bound, a 44-foot La Fitte, and had planned to stop in Cabo San Lucas on April 6 en route to San Diego, according to the U.S. Coast Guard.
