Woman and her husband found deadafter trying to cross Atlantic ocean on sailing trip

dead after attempting to cross the Atlantic Ocean on a sailing trip. The couple, who were experienced sailors, set out on their journey with high hopes and dreams of adventure. However, their voyage ended in disaster, leaving their loved ones and the sailing community in shock and mourning.

The details surrounding their deaths are still unclear, but it is believed that they encountered severe weather conditions that ultimately led to the capsizing of their boat. Despite their best efforts to navigate through the storm, they were unable to overcome the powerful forces of nature that surrounded them. This tragic event serves as a stark reminder of the dangers that can arise when embarking on such ambitious expeditions.

Nova Scotia in their 13m (42ft) eco-friendly yacht, Theros, a week earlier.

They were on the way to the Azores – 3,228 km away – with the trip planned to take 21 days.

In a Facebook post, Mr. Clibbery’s son, James, confirmed the couple’s deaths, expressing the profound grief felt by their family.

He wrote, “There isn’t anything that will fill the hole that has been left by their, so far unexplained passing.”

The circumstances surrounding the couple’s tragic end remain unclear, and an investigation is currently underway, the Royal Canadian Mounted Police told the BBC on Sunday.

One theory being explored by investigators is that the yacht may have been struck by a passing cargo ship that did not notice the collision.

Europe, Ms Packwood and Mr Clibbery had uploaded regular videos to a YouTube channel called Theros Adventures.

They dubbed their latest adventure the green odyssey, a nod to the yacht being powered by a battery from an electric Nissan Leaf car and six solar panels.

Ms Packwood, originally from Long Itchington, Warwickshire, had worked in Rwanda with the UN after the 1994 genocide and had extensive experience as a humanitarian.

In what would be their final post on 11 June, the pair wrote on Facebook: “Captain Brett and First Mate Sarah set sail on the 2nd leg of The Green Odyssey on board Theros - GibSea 42 foot sailboat. Powered by the wind and sun. Heading east to the Azores.”
