Armada 86 05 voyage to Philippines San Bernardino Strait continues. Illustrating with Marine Traffic's simple route forecast tool, the indicated distance to go suggests 600NM to run, arrival Friday morning local time.
14 days in the SBS area then expected southbound to renew #MH370 search.

The government shutdown might end soon, but air travelers will most likely face cancellations and delays into next week at least.

It’s such a bad idea, when one of his crimes was calling forth an insurrection, that he’s actually forbidden from holding the office by a constitutional provision, which a unanimous Supreme Court invented a way to turn off.
To repeat: Maybe electing a life-long criminal to an office where he can pardon other criminals wasn't such a good idea.

The San Bernardino Strait historical wreck survey has been publicised to run 5th thru 18th Nov. At this time, it's expected that the survey's 14 day window will simply 'slide to the right' on the calendar.

If you're thinking about making air travel plans, be advised that delays & cancellations will mount in the days ahead.

Staying flexible will be key, experts say.

If anyone has been told their flight has been cancelled because of the FAA reduction in capacity, please let me know!

And please repost if you can, would love to get some visibility on this. No one seems to know exactly how this reduction is going to play out for travellers right now

Interesting! In my most recent episode, I describe how Armada 86 05 is the Ocean Infinity ship best positioned to carry out the wreck survey, but I didn't know it was actually expected to do so.

If true, this is prob the ship that'll restart the MH370 search

When Ocean Infinity paused the seabed search for #MH370 back in March, it was widely expected that they would return & restart to the project in November.

But now that November's come, that prospect's looking unlikely, for reasons I explain in today's episode.

Feels like so many of our convos are revolving about how voters respond to what politicians are doing, or what parties’ positions on issues are, without much actual empirical sense of what they actually know about those topics.

We're maintaining a watch on the assets that will likely be deployed.
In the meantime, OI is contributing to a survey with Carl Allen's AllenX/Allen Exploration organisation. AllenX has teamed up with Philippines Nat'l Museum to look for wrecks in the San Bernadino Strait south of Luzon Island.

Trump tell SF mayor that he can "remove criminals that the law doesn't permit him to remove"? Is there any way to interpret that other than that he doesn't consider himself constrained by law?
“military decisions” = whether to invade San Francisco
Trump says he’s making military decisions based on what random “friends of mine” tell him about crime.

Once American democracy made it possible for a Black man to be elected president, American conservatives decided that it had to be destroyed
While Vought traces the “leftwing revolution” back a hundred years, to the progressive era, there is no question that the election of Barack Obama was a radicalizing moment for him and many key thinkers on the radical Right - as were the multiracial protests in the summer of 2020.

When the first piece of debris washed ashore 15 months after MH370 disappeared, investigators knew the barnacles growing on it could be used as a timing device to show how long it had been in the water.

Only now do we know how long that was.

The answer is a shock.

The shutdown is dumb and serves no purpose. And as it happens, a very small number of ordinary men & women have the power to put an end to it.

Air-traffic controllers are calling in sick, and flights are being delayed. Jeff Wise reports they have a huge amount of power to force an end to the government shutdown.
