The bodies of a man and woman who were discovered on July 14 in a nine-foot-long inflatable raft that washed ashore on Sable Island, off the coast of Nova Scotia, are believed to be those of Brett Clibbery and Sarah Packwood.

The couple was reported missing at sea on June 18, a week after embarking on a trans-Atlantic voyage from Nova Scotia to the Azores on June 11 aboard their 39-foot sailing vessel Theros.

A search for the missing couple was initiated on July 2 when the Theros failed to arrive in the Azores. No distress signals were received during the period the couple was at sea.
