Originally Published 2 years ago — by CBS News
The Mexican Navy has located the capsized sailboat of missing Baltimore sailor Donald Lawson off the coast of Acapulco. Due to bad weather, rescue crews have been unable to approach the vessel. Lawson, a professional sailor and founder of the Dark Seas Project, had been experiencing difficulties with his sailboat's rigging and had lost power during a storm. The search and rescue effort has been hindered by hurricane season on Mexico's Pacific Coast.
