這對夫婦6月11日自加拿大哈利法克斯港啟航，目標是3,200公裏外的葡萄牙亞速爾群島。6月18日被報失蹤，7月10日才尋獲遺體。他們棄船改乘救生艇的原因尚待調查。
沙布爾島是長43公裏的沙洲，位於哈利法克斯東南300公裏處，因逾350起沉船事故而被稱為“大西洋墳場”。

Clibbery 兒子 James 在 Facebook 悼文中稱：“他們是非凡的人，離去留下無法填補的空虛。”
這對自稱冒險家的夫婦在 YouTube 頻道 Theros Adventures 分享旅程。此次航行為他們“綠色奧德賽”計劃一部分，旨在證明長途旅行可不依賴化石燃料。Clibbery 曾表示：“我們用電動船，引擎靠太陽能充電。”
