Coast Guard Searches for 3 Believed Lost at Sea
The U.S. Coast Guard was searching Sunday for three people apparently lost at sea in two separate mishaps off San Diego and Baja California.
Officials did not release their names. One of them, a 37-year-old woman from Wisconsin, was reported missing and presumed overboard after failing to show up for dinner at 10 p.m. Saturday on a Carnival cruise ship near Ensenada, Mexico, said Petty Officer Leslie Delozier, a spokeswoman for the Coast Guard in San Diego.
The second search began about 8 a.m. Sunday when the Coast Guard picked up a radio distress signal from a small fishing boat about 30 miles southwest of Point Loma.
A search of the area, Delozier said, revealed floating debris and an empty lifeboat, but no sign of the two San Diego men believed to have been aboard the craft.
That search was set to continue this morning, Delozier said.
