Andrew Godden 934 Posted September 20, 2013 Report Share Posted September 20, 2013 So, here I was doing some route planning in Plan-G when I came upon this mysterious shadow on the map. Now, what could it be??? EDIT. Hmmm, through the haze of red wine, it seems something went wrong. The image should be here now. Cheers Andrew Link to post Share on other sites

Andrew Godden 934 Posted September 20, 2013 Author Report Share Posted September 20, 2013 Hmmm, OK, I have corrected my original post. Cheers Andrew Link to post Share on other sites
allardjd 1,853 Posted September 20, 2013 Report Share Posted September 20, 2013 Since you added the picture I know even less than before. I think it's a very large submarine, hugging the coast, probably working for the NSA. John Link to post Share on other sites

brett 2,285 Posted September 21, 2013 Report Share Posted September 21, 2013 Ship shadow, restricted area, I tried looking for it on other maps but couldn't figure out where it was. SP15 only showed in Italy and Brazil during a search but not near water. Link to post Share on other sites

ddavid 149 Posted September 21, 2013 Report Share Posted September 21, 2013 Does this help? C'mon Chaps, Wake Up! It's only antipodean humour after all! Thanks, Andrew. Cheers - Dai. Link to post Share on other sites
Andrew Godden 934 Posted September 21, 2013 Author Report Share Posted September 21, 2013 There are no flies on Dai. Here is the corresponding Google Earth image, albeit dated now. Cheers Andrew Link to post Share on other sites
brett 2,285 Posted September 21, 2013 Report Share Posted September 21, 2013 Looks like the Costa Concordia taking a siesta or playing red light, green light 1,2,3. Link to post Share on other sites
allardjd 1,853 Posted September 21, 2013 Report Share Posted September 21, 2013 It is out of date as Andrew says - they've just uprighted it by a process called parbuckling and have moved it slightly away from the shore. It's sitting on a specially prepared platform on the ocean floor while more work is done to prepare it for towing. Quite an engineering feat. John Link to post Share on other sites
Andrew Godden 934 Posted September 21, 2013 Author Report Share Posted September 21, 2013 John,I've watched it with keen interest. I always find such feats of engineering absolutely fascinating.My eccentric sense of humour couldn't resist the "mysterious shadow". Dai would like to just call it antipodean humour, but I prefer eccentric.CheersAndrew Link to post Share on other sites
allardjd 1,853 Posted September 21, 2013 Report Share Posted September 21, 2013 There seems to be plenty of eccentric to go around on this site... Must be something in the water. John Link to post Share on other sites

John You are right there. I guess there is a price for fame and fortune. Too higher price for me. A sad life, sunk on the rocks of celebrity. Link to post Share on other sites
allardjd 1,853 Posted September 23, 2013 Report Share Posted September 23, 2013 Interesting, re the Costa Concordia that while the ship is being righted, the Captain is going down... John Link to post Share on other sites
