Staying Safe At Sea

About SSAS & Our Goal
Our goal is to save lives of those who are out at sea, minimizing the amount of deaths and injuries that occur each year. So many families are being separated just because so many do not know how to stay safe. By attending one of our classes or watching one of our lessons, you are keeping yourself sheltered, no matter where you are.

Inspiration for SSAS
The ocean influences Sophie's life because it is where she spent a part of her life, it is her passion, and is what she enjoys learning about the most. According to Sophie, her mother "is the one who gives me (her) sailing textbooks and makes me (her) study water safety," (4). Sometimes learning new things can be very difficult, but if it about a topic that you love, you will not mind. Her main journey across the Atlantic took several weeks where all the crew members had to be constantly working, and barely had any time for a solid rest. Since she adores sailing and the water so much, she actually enjoyed it all because being at sea is what she had been looking forward to practically her whole entire life. All in all, the sea is really apart of her life because it is where she feels the best, which is how it influences her life.
Sophie was dedicated into creating this program because she does not want anyone to go through what she went through. Although her parent's death occurred when she was just a young child, losses of family members can really happen at any age. This event caused depression for a couple of years, and still affects her today. Not only is she trying to prevent your family's safety, she always wants to make sure that you are staying cautious. By participating in SSAS, it will cause everyone to stay much more safe and alive.
