Near Faringdon. It's a small (20'?) cruiser with a green tarpaulin on top. I noticed this morning it has sunk at it's moorings and feel the need to post this in case the owner does not know...

Similarly one burned out at the Tesco moorings in Reading.....around 20 footer..looks like a lovely old wooden boat.....couldnt read the name properly but something like 'Celestine' (or other French-sounding!).

white hull with varnished wood name plate/gold lettering

Part submerged....EA notified and they said they were 'discussing' with Reading council to get it removed....that was three weeks ago...still there along with teh other abandonded wreck at the Tesco entrance.....

Damn shame...

Sad sights indeed. In the case of the boat in my opening post I later thought to e-mail a local boat club. Apparently the boat owner is a member and has been informed.
