Hopefully the person above has found something personal to you. I was on the RNLI lifeboat at the scene and although we managed to rescue the little cat, unfortunately we weren't able to rescue many belongings floating downstream. We tried however the flow was pretty fast and although there were dozens of record sleeves, i'm afraid the records themselves must have gone straight to the bottom. I'm really sorry for the loss of your houseboat and belongings and hope you've managed to recover from the accident.
