A British-Canadian couple who were attempting to sail across the Atlantic have been found dead on an island off the east coast of Canada. Brett Clibbery, 70, and his wife, Sarah Packwood, 60, had been sailing on their 42-foot sailboat the SV Theros, but their bodies were found in a lifeboat that washed up on Sable Island, Nova Scotia, according to a statement from the Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP), published July 12. The couple left Halifax Harbour, Nova Scotia on June 11 en route to the Azores, a group of Portuguese islands in the mid-Atlantic, around 2,000 miles away. They were reported missing on June 18 and their bodies were found on July 10. It is not clear why the couple abandoned the Theros and got into a lifeboat. An investigation is ongoing, the RCMP said. CNN has contacted the RCMP for comment.
