A hire boat was cast adrift from Yarmouth Yacht Station on Monday night (http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-norfolk-17824988) and crashed in to the Vauxhall bridge. The boat had been hired by a French family, the father was an experienced boat user and awoke in the night sensing something was wrong. He tried to use the engine but the propeller was stuck in the mud. The BBC Look East TV programme went in to more detail with a Google earth image of the exact spot.
When I heard the report it all seemed very familiar!
