A Cuban fisherman has been missing for three days after going fishing in Santa Cruz del Norte, in the Mayabeque province, having set out from Havana, according to family sources.
Leonel Guerra, 74 years old, has not returned home since he went fishing early Thursday morning at 4 a.m., heading to that location from San Francisco de Paula, in the Havana municipality of San Miguel del Padrón, his granddaughter Sheyla Fernández alerted in a Facebook post.
"He didn't come back home..." she revealed. "We have searched hospitals, and the police are also aware. The area he was supposedly heading to has also been searched."
"We are desperate," expressed the young woman, who asked her followers to share the post on social media to assist in the search for her maternal grandfather.
In August of last year, a fisherman who had been reported missing was found alive, although with burns all over his body, four days after setting out to fish from Playa del Chivo in Havana with another family member. The bad weather associated with a tropical storm swept the boat to a beach in Artemisa, where other fishermen helped them and were able to contact their relatives.
At the beginning of the year, after an extensive search, fisherman Jacinto Octavio Rivero Li and the boy Alexander Turiño Nualla from Cienfuegos were found safe and sound. They had been missing after setting out to fish. Strong winds and rough seas carried their boat adrift for five days until they arrived at Cayo Cigua, in the southern part of Matanzas Province, where they were located.
