Atlantic Crossing: A tragic end to this cruising couple's offshore adventures, when the remains of Brett Clibbery and Sarah Packwood from British Colombia were found inside their liferaft, washed up on Sable Island, 290km SE of Halifax, Nova Scotia, earlier this month.
They had been undertaking an Atlantic crossing to the Azores when they were reported missing in late June. An investigation is being carried out into the circumstances surrounding the tragedy. To date there has been no trace of their boat "Theros", a GibSea 42. Full details here.
Regular Noonsite contributor Alison Gieschen and partner Dan, share information they wish they had known before setting sail for the Canary Islands to prepare for their Atlantic crossing.
Imray have announced that they have reduced the cost of the 7th Edition Atlantic Islands by £10 to a RRP of £39.50. This is a long-established cruising guide to the five island groups of the North Atlantic [Bermuda, Azores, Canary Islands, Cape Verdes and Madeira], visited by those sailing the popular Atlantic crossing routes and as cruising destinations in their own right.
