Bodies are believed to be the remains of B.C. couple reported missing three weeks ago
An inflatable lifeboat containing two bodies washed up on an island nearly 300 kilometres southeast of Halifax on Wednesday andsay they believe they are the remains of a British Columbia couple whose sailboat was reported missing nearly three weeks ago.
On the day and following day after the vessel last made contact, the winds were pretty standard at 15 knots with two-metre waves, said LCdr. Hickey but there was heavy fog and mist. Visibility was only 200 feet. “He and Sarah had very clear visions of arriving in Spain through the Azores and setting about on their next adventure which would have been a series of walks and hikes and caminos and sharing all of that online with people that followed them or cared about them,” said Mr. Bewsher, who last spoke to Mr. Clibbery on May 23.
A few years ago, they attempted the same trip across the North Atlantic to Spain but turned back to Nova Scotia after they ran into bad weather off Sable Island.
