New homeport for CAL M and T

So we found it. Close to center of Silicon Valley. A highrise with a beautiful board room. It will be our homeport for the new few years. It easy access to highway, starbucks, peggy-sue. On Saturdays, it is a quiet, high quality place.

On a Sunny day walking around downtown, it is a pleasant place.

Arm Strong ship is not sailing

An old ship called arm strong in Oak land is not going anyhwere and might need new skipper.  The ship has been there for over 80 years and have tens of thousands of passenger had their journey on it.  Now in absolutely horrible disrepair, may be a good time to revive it?

Looking for major support overseas

Finished a trip to Asia looking for major support.  Discussed with several possible investors but CALMAT does not seem to fit in to their model and mind-set.  Several suggestions worth considering:

- Think big, these overseas investors might not be interested in $2M project, but $20M one might pique their interest

- Include CALMAT HIGH, an exclusive boarding high that takes care of overseas youths seems to attract a lot of attention.

- Approach investors that have to move fund to AM

In all, not a fruitful trip but not one wasted.

Aliance or not

There are a few new ships in different stages of sailing in the Silicon Sea.  A new ship called South Bay has enter the territory since summer 2008.  Lead by L.L. and Jack, it is in the troubled water as everyone.  A discuss about alliance was underway since two weeks ago.  

Discussion is also underway with the Otter ship, it is promising but far from being done.  We got the CA State shipping permit yesterday.  An account need to be established.

Losing a financer

While strolling in a quaint little used bookstore in Solvang, I received a call from one of the major financiers.  It cast a menacing dark cloud on the path of CALMAT.  His voice was trembling, with a deep sorry and feeling of embarrassment, he withdrew his financial support of CALMAT because of grave family trouble.  He beg me, the skipper, to continue the journal, to keep the promise.   I comforted him and let him know he is welcome to rejoin the team any time.

It is a gloomy and stormy sea in front of us, CALMAT will sail on.

 

Visiting HG ship

Had a chance to visit another up coming ship call HG, good location, great new building.  Only $9M. Not bad at all.  Everyone is looking for eye20 oppotunity.  Hear an crew member LL is leaving them.  Possible collaboration?

Met with CH last Friday and although it is promising, it is still far from either ideal (it is still a certificate program) no solid.  Until a set of eye20 is issuesd, we don't know if things can run well.
