A British couple who was out on the open water for the past month has discovered upon making landfall that the world fell apart in their absence.
The couple, who lived in Manchester, were travelling across the Atlantic ocean from the Canary Islands to the Caribbean last month when, unbeknownst to them, a new and deadly coronavirus was spreading across the world.So much for that idea!
After 25 days at sea, and with little communication with the outside world, the couple planned to dock on a small island in mid-March.
But upon getting phone signal while still off-shore, they discovered the island's borders were closed and found out the world had been suffering from a global pandemic they'd heard nothing about.
"In February we'd heard there was a virus in China, but with the limited information we had we figured by the time we got to the Caribbean in 25 days it would all be over," Elena says.
