Darla Jean Update

In Monday’s ‘Lectronic, we posted a request for info on Darla Jean III, Jerry and Darla Merrow’s newest boat. A quick search of the USCG’s documentation records shows the boat is a 36-ft steel Scheepswerf built in 1959. Thankfully, Darla’s sister reports that one of their bank accounts has had recent activity in Mexico, so they’re likely alive and well. Though she’s asked the Coast Guard to call off their search, she’s still asking for sailors to keep an eye out for the couple to ease the family’s worries. If you have any information on the Merrows’ whereabouts, please email LaDonna and we’ll pass it on.
