Mystery as eco-adventurers found dead in lifeboat off Canadian coast

A couple who embarked on a “green odyssey” across the Atlantic were found dead in a lifeboat after being forced to abandon their wind and solar-powered yacht. Sarah Packwood, 54, from Warwick, and Brett Clibbery, 70, were reported missing on June 18 after leaving Nova Scotia, Canada, in their 42-ft sailing boat, Theros, a week earlier. They were en route to the Azores. Their two bodies were finally found on a three-metre liferaft last week, after it washed ashore on Sable Island, 180 miles off the coast of Nova Scotia. Mystery surrounds how the couple’s planned voyage turned to tragedy, with fears growing that their reliance on sail and an electric engine powered by solar panels, may have left them without back-up when things went wrong. #yacht #missing #found Read more here:
