The search for missing American sailors Kerry O’Brien, Frank O’Brien and William Gross, who were last seen in waters off Mexico, has been suspended, according to the Coast Guard.
The Coast Guard also said in their statement Wednesday that the situation"underscores the importance of carrying a registered 406MHZ electronic position indicating radio beacon for automatic notification in emergencies."
Ellen Argall, mother of Pennsylvania native Kerry O'Brien, said her daughter has had a love of the water her whole life and told a local CBS News outlet earlier this week that she is confident her daughter is safe. "I just keep hoping and praying that I'll hear some good news. I want good news, not bad news," she reportedly said, adding that waiting for news was"pure agony." The Ocean Bound was supposed to arrive in Cabo San Lucas two days after the sailors were last heard from.
In an earlier interview with Fox5 San Diego, Higgins said it should have taken two days to get from Mazatlán to Cabo San Lucas in Baja California, butwere estimated to be around 35 mph and waves were reaching heights of up to 20 feet. "It would be arduous, it wouldn’t be a comfortable trip," Higgins told the station."The three persons onboard have experience in the maritime industry, so they understand navigation of vessels… another person has years and years of experience on sailboats."
