| Saturday Morning Fort Pierce Jetty South Beach Zoom View |
It is a still hazy Saturday morning. The weather is warm. The wind out of the west and the surf is smooth.

So it looks like the surf will be building over the next few days up to four or five feet, which is still not a lot.

I found an article in the Drexel Law Review on the extremely rich wreck of the San Jose. The article discusses a set of factors for determining the owner or international shipwrecks. Below is one brief excerpt from the article.
The sea is one of the greatest museums known to humankind. Access to that museum, however, is limited. Modern technology is changing that, making thousands of wrecks and their cargo more accessible than ever. This in turn has led to the proliferation of disputes concerning the ownership of the wrecks and their cargo. In an attempt to resolve these disputes, the United Nations enacted UNCLOS. But after continued legal battles and international discord, UNCLOS has proven unsuccessful. The best way to preserve sunken wrecks, protect states’ rights, and incentivize research and marine salvage is for the United Nations to amend UNCLOS to include a committee specially designated to solve any wreck ownership disputes. The committee should balance each claim based on a six-factor balancing test...
And here is the link for more about that.---
I also found a collection of 62 publications, spanning nearly three decades of groundbreaking research on subjects including remote viewing, precognitive perception and consciousness. My posts on remote viewing have been popular beyond my expectations. I presume these articles will be of similar interest.
i hope that those of you who are interested in remote viewing are at least experimenting with putting it to practical use. Give it a try. Study the methods and precedures, and let me know how it works out for you.

Some of my favorite topics include epistemology and consciousness. I assume they are not the primary interest for most of my blog readers, so I don't spend much time on those subjects in my posts, but I also know that some people are interested and have said so.
It is interesting to look at metal detecting as being an extension of the regular senses. We use a metal detector to add to or extend our five or so senses, so we receive information about subsurface anomalies or variations in the magnetic fields. The detector senses those variations and translates those having certain characteristics into the signals and displays we use to make dig decisions.
Just for the fun of it, imagine that detectors, or arrays of sensors of various kinds were sent out on remote vehicles (perhaps as robots) that are able to send the input back to us so that we can experience those remote locations as if we were there. I know this is getting science fictionish, but I like to break out of the proverbial box every once in a while. It facilitates creative problem solving.
Remote viewing suggests a different world view, epistemology and an alternate mode or media of experience.
