Sunk, with the loss of all spiders. My next-door
neighbour's boat was found abandoned and
under three feet of water in the River Gipping
in Mid-Suffolk. It doesn't get used much now,
as the river is in the process of becoming
completely clogged by reeds since the local
council (or somebody) ripped out a number of
beautiful willows on the opposite bank that
were sheltering the benthic fauna, along with the rest of the riverbank flora. This action
was apparently to alleviate the flood problem that occurred most winters, and caused
the flatlands of the adjacent farm to become temporary water parks. It seems to have
worked - the river level is now usually low for most of the year, but the corollary is that
the reeds, now exposed to the full glare of sunlight, are strangling the river from both
banks. The neighbours and I try to keep it clear from our side, leaving the ducks and
swans (and apparenrtly an otter, although we've never seen her) to forage from the
opposite bank, but it's a time-consuming and never-ending process. And yet, it still
doesn't make for a river you can use a boat on.
