A Spark of Inspiration on the Open Seas
Our love for the briny runs deep, but it wasn’t always plain sailing. A near miss with a family member at sea shone a light on the challenges faced by search and rescue teams. We realised that better information could be the difference between a safe return and a frantic search. That’s how the idea for this website was born – right there on a fishing trip!
