ST JOHN’S, Antigua, Jan 03 2016 – Five fishermen who were returning to Antigua from St. Maarten have gone missing.
Their 45 foot vessel, named Kenya Diva, encountered engine trouble, as the men were returning to Antigua from a shopping trip to St. Maarten on Wednesday. They were about 20 miles off Antigua.
The Coast Guard, an RSS plane and other fishermen went in search of the vessel Wednesday evening and Thursday morning, but the searches have turned up empty.
A friend of the family of the boat’s captain told Caribbean News Service (CNS) that the Coast Guard resumed searching for the missing men on Sunday.
