HALIFAX — The British Columbia couple whose remains recently washed ashore on Nova Scotia's remote Sable Island have been identified as 70-year-old James Brett Clibbery and his 54-year-old wife, Sarah Packwood.
HALIFAX — The British Columbia couple whose remains recently washed ashore on Nova Scotia's remote Sable Island have been identified as 70-year-old James Brett Clibbery and his 54-year-old wife, Sarah Packwood.Spielman, a Calgary resident, said she's heard many theories about what happened to the adventurous couple after June 11 when they left Halifax harbour in a 13-metre sailboat en route to the Azores.
The Mounties previously confirmed the couple's sailboat, Theros, was reported missing on June 18. But it wasn't until July 10 — nearly a month after they set sail — that their bodies were found in a three-metre inflatable boat on Sable Island, about 280 kilometres southeast of Halifax. The channel features videos showing sailing trips that extend from Canada's west coast to the Panama Canal, and from Central America to the Maritimes. The smiling pair can often be seen on the open ocean aboard their two-masted GibSea yacht, which featured an electric motor powered by solar panels.
"All being well and weather permitting, the captain and I intend to set sail in the next day or two for an ocean crossing," Packwood's message says."I will endeavour to document our experiences along the way and will be able to publish videos when we reach land." "We're sailing away," Clibbery says, the vast sweep of the blue North Atlantic in the background."One big ship behind us, and that came out from Halifax behind us."
