We dread to think how much damage the flooding has done to waterways infrastructure. A lot of tourism related businesses such as hire fleets have been badly affected. I know at least one hire boat has sunk on the Avon (Warwickshire Avon). And then there are all those private owners who have lost their boats too. Only just caught up on the e-mails.
