An absurd thought struck me last week.
I checked up on the guy who is planning to tow an iceberg to Cape Town, to see if the plan is still going ahead.
He confirmed we are still very much in need of water security, so therefore he hasn’t changed plans at all.
This is not a joke and this guy, Nick Sloane, knows what he’s doing.
He is a marine salvage expert and was the brains behind the refloating of the Costa Concordia off the Italian coast a few years ago.
Last week I also learned that an Aussie with more money than he knows what to do with is in the process of building an exact working replica of the Titanic.
He is planning the exact same maiden voyage from the UK to New York, which resulted in the world’s biggest cruise ship of the day, sinking and taking more than 1 500 souls with her. Can you see where I’m going with this?
The iceberg that sank the Titanic wasn’t meant to be where it was that early April morning. The iceberg that’s being towed to Cape Town is also going to be in places where it’s not expected.
I just hope these two ambitious groups of people talk to each other.
Otherwise, our children will also have to endure a painful Celine Dion-type song being played everywhere again.
