Sorry to hear this.. On top of my sober nightmare launches (6 footers at Deer Creek in Malibu - Ended up with me driving to Urgent Care in Riverside cause I jacked my Knee) I have lost plenty of stuff out there while drinking also

It hurts a lot to thank about but like all the others here are saying.. Let it be a lesson and not deter you.. Get back up on that high horse buddy and catch a big fish off that kayak!
