I was going to ask one of the old hands the same question...

Now can anybody recommend any non-marking slippers?

You could ask Uri Geller to levitate it out of the river

Salvage does not apply within the 3 mile limit. HOWEVER! lost and found law does. Egro you 'find' the boat report it to the Police that you have it. After the due period it becomes yours.
