Brett Clibbery, 70, and Sarah Justine Packwood, 54, were reported missing after setting off from Nova Scotia in Canada in their 42ft sailing boat Theros on June 11. Tragically, the couple were found in a lifeboat last week on the coast of Sable Island, 180 miles off the coast of Nova Scotia, the liferaft having washed ashore. They had intended to sail to the Azores 900 miles west of Portugal. The Theros was a wind and solar-powered vessel piloted by the pair to show how travel can be done without using fossil fuels . The pair also shared videos on their YouTube channel showing them driving across Canada in an electric car.
