<span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 11.5pt;">“There is nothing, absolutely nothing, half so much worth doing as
simply messing around in boats.” --Kenneth Grahame</span></div>

<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; margin-left: .5in; margin-right: 0in; margin-top: 0in; text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 11.5pt;">By their nature, people seek
adventure. The drive to escape the status quo opened the American frontier,
sent man to the moon, and has led to countless ocean expeditions for the
purpose of charting new territory, exploring the depths of the seafloor,
vacationing, and more. </span><a href="http://www.seasteading.org/"><span style="color: #1155cc; font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 11.5pt;">The
Seasteading Institute</span></a><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 11.5pt;"> was founded on the premise that these temporary voyages have just
begun to tap into the bounty of the oceans; it seeks to enable a new cohort of
seafaring pioneers to establish permanent communities in international waters,
to experiment with new ideas for innovative and sustainable governmental
systems. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj5sDTUtMAthTtiEY1fb2xTeddJQlMq1t4BeIbl-Kp6TJYZHbbcsUeYf3yTlj8Y0NuoeaMEQXGh-cCrqilBCvRYO6PUGvMRkZbkRDdhgKxiKBgWunXoFq8pzgTgf0ItqptZpm18wlkJl_I/s1600/seasteading1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj5sDTUtMAthTtiEY1fb2xTeddJQlMq1t4BeIbl-Kp6TJYZHbbcsUeYf3yTlj8Y0NuoeaMEQXGh-cCrqilBCvRYO6PUGvMRkZbkRDdhgKxiKBgWunXoFq8pzgTgf0ItqptZpm18wlkJl_I/s320/seasteading1.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 11.5pt;">But why would anyone want to
colonize the ocean when there’s so much open space on land? First, as those who
have experienced a taste of life at seas can attest, the vast blue landscape
calms and mesmerizes -- unlike on land, everyone gets a seaside view! Second,
residents of floating vessels have substantial autonomy, including the ability
to relocate with much greater ease than on land. The seasteading community
envisions a future in which floating mega-cities made up of detachable, or
“modular,” buildings enable the formation, reshaping, and replication of the
best ideas for organizing society. The ocean clearly has much to offer, whether
one is looking to dine and relax on a brief cruise or build a permanent
platform for advancing humanity. </span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; margin-left: .5in; margin-right: 0in; margin-top: 0in; text-indent: .5in;">

<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; margin-left: .5in; margin-right: 0in; margin-top: 0in; text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 11.5pt;">Given the audacity of this
vision, The Seasteading Institute is trying to break down the major legal,
business, and engineering challenges into smaller “incremental” steps, which
can be solved by entrepreneurs using existing technology. Since its founding in
2008, the Institute has produced hundreds of pages of research and built a
community of thousands of people around the world. This leveraged approach will
stimulate development of numerous seasteading businesses in the next few years.
One such business is </span><a href="http://www.wired.co.uk/news/archive/2012-05/10/floating-city-attracts-more-than-100-startups"><span style="color: #1155cc; font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 11.5pt;">the
Blueseed Project</span></a><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 11.5pt;">, a for-profit spin-off of the Institute, which will provide
opportunities for foreign tech entrepreneurs who can’t get immigration visas to
lease space on a retrofitted cruise ship 12 miles from Silicon Valley. These
ventures will prove that permanent living on the ocean is not just possible,
but sustainable -- technologically, legally, and financially. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 11.5pt;">Once the major challenges have
been overcome, an increasing number of people will opt for the seasteading way
of life, creating demand for real estate aboard ever-larger ships, small
floating platforms, and eventually, full-fledged cities on the ocean. If you

<div class="MsoNormal">
Here at Commodore we are getting ready to celebrate the 75<sup>th</sup>
Anniversary of the Golden Gate Bridge.
Our Bay Area dinner cruises would not be the same without the view
of San Francisco's most recognizable landmark.
We plan to honor the bridge with a public yacht party that includes
white glove service and a gourmet dinner.
Our on renowned DJ will provide all your dining and dancing music for the
evening. You will have the best seat in
the Bay to view the bridge and the city skyline. At 9:30PM our Captain will be nestled in an ideal
location on the Bay for all of our guests to view the spectacular fireworks display in honor of the Bridge's Anniversary. We are also
posting on our <a href="http://pinterest.com/commodoreevents/celebrating-sf/" target="_blank">Pinterest</a> unique ways you can pay tribute to the historic site

Did you know that construction for the Golden Gate Bridge began
January 5, 1933 and was completed for the Grand Opening on May 27, 1937?
The bridge connected the 6,700ft strait between San Francisco and Marin
County, which was previously only reached by ferry. For the opening,
200,000 people crossed the bridge on foot the day before vehicle traffic was
allowed. This same event was recreated May 1987 for the 50th anniversary.
This time it attracted an astounding 1,000,000 people. An ineffective crowd control allowed 300,000
people on the bridge all at once, causing the center part of the bridge to
flatten out under the weight. Due to this occurrence, bridge
officials have stated that this event won't be considered for the 75th
anniversary. So what better way to celebrate the Golden Gate by enjoying
its spectacular views from the water with dinner, drinks, and music. <span style="color: #295373;"> </span>Learn how you can be a part of this

we can recommend DJ’s that we work with on a regular basis that we know are not
just someone’s relative with an outdated play list. They are DJs that will make sure your Prom’s

<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
This Sunday marks the one year anniversary of the royal
wedding. So this week we would love to
honor the Duke and Duchess by giving our Commodore Cruises Brides and Grooms
ideas of how you can give your weddings the royal treatment aboard our
yachts. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
How could we forget Duchess Catherine’s dress?! Her infamous dress immediately sparked a new
world wide trend in fashion that brought more classic lines, sleeves and lots
of lace back to wedding dresses. We have
a wide variety of dresses that have incorporated these trends featured on our <a href="http://pinterest.com/commodoreevents/for-the-bride/">pinterest</a>. And who could forget that train, not
traditionally as long as former royal brides, but enough to still command
attention.<br />

This wedding was very traditional per the Queen’s
specifications, but the young couple managed to put a lot of their own spin on
things. For instance, who says the bride
is the only one who can wear white, as shown by Duchess Catherine’s sister,
Pipa, who entered in a show stopping white dress of her own. Even all the flower girls were wearing
white. What ideas of your own can you
bring to make your Commodore wedding unique to you and your future spouse? Some of our past couples have made their mark
by getting married by the Captain, releasing doves, and using oars or life
rings to be signed as their guest book.
Each one of our yachts offers a different look and feel that can cater to
all different kinds of themes. More ideas
can be viewed on our <a href="http://pinterest.com/commodoreevents/">pinterest</a>
or our wedding coordinator Christina would be happy to discuss some of the
things we have tried on our vessels. <br />

After the ceremony, the newly married royal couple had their
elegant exit by horse and carriage. Mariners
Square leading up to your Bay Area wedding cruise makes for a dramatic entrance
or exit by horse drawn carriage. Our preferred horse and carriage vendor is budget friendly and could be that great addition to really
give your entrance the regal treatment. Make sure to speak with our Wedding Coordinator about this opportunity.<br />

It's your birthday!!<div class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: georgia;">Your day comes around once a year. Each birthday marks a passage of some sort. One year you’ve entered the terrible twos, at five you begin school, at 12 you may have a Bat Mitzvah, at 13 a Bar Mitzvah, on your Sweet 16 you get to drive, at 18 you can vote, and of course your 21<sup>st</sup> birthday often leaves you with a hangover. From there on, each decade clicks past with the old adage, “time flies!”</span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: georgia;"><br />
</span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: georgia;">Although there are many ways to celebrate, one of the most exciting is undoubtedly a surprise birthday party. Nonetheless, not everyone is lucky enough to be thrown a surprise celebration by their loved ones. What seems like a very thoughtful and fun idea in the beginning might cause more stress than originally intended if not planned out thoughtfully. Although I may be an experienced event planner now, I have even been an offender of planning a surprise party debacle. Let me share with you my embarrassing story:</span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: georgia;"><br />
</span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: georgia;">I was in high school and my friend, Dana, and I decided to throw a surprise party for our friend, Annie. We rented out a room at a local restaurant to surprise Annie for her Sweet 16. We had everything planned to the last detail (or so we thought). The room was reserved, the invitations were sent, everyone secretly RSVP’d, decorations were bought, the birthday cake was ordered, and we were ready to go.</span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: georgia;"><br />
</span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: georgia;">Before I continue, please think to yourself.. what is the most important part of any celebration? If you thought the guest of honor, you would be correct. Since Dana and I were so busy planning the perfect surprise party, we forgot to invite Annie to a made up event. I thought Dana had already invited Annie to the movies and Dana figured I had a decoy plot in action. So come the day of the party we realized that neither of us had locked down Annie on plans for the night. We immediately asked her if she wanted to hang out and catch a movie. Her reply: “Thank you, but I am already babysitting tonight.” This could have been the worst answer in our situation. Although I felt like our plans were foiled, I chose the proactive route. The first step: contacting her older sister to see if she could cover Annie’s babysitting shift. After a stressful afternoon of trying to get in contact with her sister and having her sister get in contact with the family Annie was babysitting for, we figured it out. Dana and I kidnapped the birthday girl and brought her to the restaurant, while Annie’s sister took over the babysitting. It ended up working out wonderfully, and although Annie had no idea I think I aged five years on her birthday. So when planning a surprise birthday party make no mistake and think it through. Here are some tips that will have the guest of honor in complete awe.</span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: georgia;"><br />
</span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: georgia;">-<b>KEEP THE SECRET!</b> Do not blab, and make sure everyone invited is well aware to keep their lips zipped.</span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: georgia;"><br />
</span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: georgia;">-<b>Choose the venue.</b> Many factors should go into selecting the venue. Make sure that it will be easy for your guests to travel to, and incorporate the venue into your surprise. Many of our clients pretend they are taking the birthday celebrant on a public cruise, and when they walk onto the yacht they are surprised by a private event with their family and friends. We also have clients who pretend they are dragging their significant other to company party, or a coworker’s retirement celebration. Our yacht staff even plays along with the surprise!</span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: georgia;"><br />
</span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: georgia;">-<b>Invite the guests</b> in the most secret way possible. Also, make sure that you have guests arrive earlier then the time the guest of honor will be arriving. </span></div><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody>

</tbody></table><div class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: georgia;">-<b>Start the planning early!</b> It is easier to overcome planning obstacles if you give yourself plenty of time to prepare (unlike my “day of” fiasco for Annie’s party).</span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: georgia;"><br />
</span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: georgia;"><b>-Relay the appropriate dress code</b> to your guests and have the guest of honor dress accordingly. Avoid making the guest of honor feel uncomfortable because everyone is decked out and they are not. </span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: georgia;"><br />
</span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: georgia;">-<b>Food, </b>which is my personal favorite part of any party. Make sure you know some of the guest of honor’s favorite dishes, and be sure to have some at the party. Also, make sure you are aware of any dietary needs or allergies of the attending guests. It is also smart to have appetizers or snacks available for the guests before the birthday celebrant arrives. This way, the guests are not hungry and moody when the guest of honor enters the party a bit late.</span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: georgia;"><br />
</span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: georgia;"><b>-Music.</b> Whether you hire a DJ, band, or play an iPod, make sure you have some of the guest of honor’s favorite jams. </span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: georgia;"><br />
</span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: georgia;">-<b>Assign guests</b> to help with decorations and the setup, as you might be the one bringing the guest of honor. </span></div><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">In just a couple months it will be one of my favorite times of year…prom and grad night season! I plan most of the school events at Commodore, and compared to when I was in high school, there is so much more to offer these days for our school events. One of the most exciting aspects of our school events is the fun and interesting vendors that come on board. Henna Tattoo Artists, Caricaturists, and Photo Booths are very popular, and give our guests something to take home to show off to their families. Then we have our Palm Readers and Psychics who keep people talking for days. A school favorite is the Hypnotists and Magicians who never fail to leave their audiences in awe every time! We are also excited to introduce additional vendors, including Air Brush Tattoos, Glitter Tattoos, Indian/Chinese Astrologers, and Portrait Artists!</span><br />
