Rowing Coach Missing

Last night the Thames was busy by Putney Embankment.

Up and down the river prowled a flotilla of rescue boats from the RNLI lifeboat, police boat and PLA, search lights swinging from side to side.

My heart sank, for it is the saddest sight on the Thames.

Today I read in the Evening Standard that a top rowing coach went missing in the cold of February river water and that "Chiswick RNLI lifeboat crew found an upturned boat bumping into moored vessels but it was empty".

Keep safe out on the water.
