Anyone else lose all their beloved firearms in a boating mishap?

Yeah.. We got a warm spell Tuesday and Wednesday so I took out my kayak. I thought it would also be a good idea to air out my firearms so I took them along. Unfortunately I hit a submerged log, and for the first time in my life I rolled my kayak.
Sadly, I lost all my firearms.

Chuck Norris stole mine. But he robbed me on a sail boat if that counts
It was horrible.....I can't talk about it......

Funny thing a lot of guys from the NE move down here to Florida and suddenly “find” their lost firearms, I think it’s the scent of orange blossoms in the air.

You can see the stunned look on my mug, realizing what has happened....

Must be the current ...
I lost mine recently as well. Not in a boat accident though. I posted in another thread this week that I had a sink hole open and swallow my entire safe! Weird thing that - as sink holes are not that common in this area of the country. As a note - two boxes of Kirkland dog treats are missing as well and the "crew" is not happy about that one at all! Sink hole filled back in on its own and one would never guess it had even happened - place looks normal. I'm simply at a loss for words to describe how it feels. 
Must of been the added weight of that S&W 22A I just had purchased. Go figure...

I was yak packing in the Absarokas, taking my guns to the cave for the winter.
We went around a bend in the trail along the Thorofare River, when we were charged by an enraged boar marmot. The thing busted out of the willows without a warning and came right at us. I guess we probably surprised it while it was guarding a clover patch.
I should have listened to the Game and Fish guy and brought along some marmot spray, but you only read about these things in old copies of Outdoor Life, right?
I know a .45 is a bit light as far as serious marmot medicine goes, and the horse bolted when I got off my first shots from my 25-5. I wish now I liked the classics less and had bought a .500, but the price was so high after all those Executive Orders from that sasquatch deal back east, and I've had that 25-5 for thirty years.
When the horse bolted I lost my hold on the rope. I didn't have it dallied on the horn, because, well, you know how yaks can balk while they're on a string. The yaks felt the lead go slack and off they went, running for their lives.
When the yaks ran, it triggered the marmot's chase response. The last I saw of them, there were five yak going south over a ridge with 35 pounds of howling marmot right on their heels. I tracked them for three days but lost them on the East Fork River.
Every gun I owned save one was on those yaks.
When I got home I swapped that 25-5 for a Xbox at the pawn shop.
I'm through with that yak packing ****.

I think we need a support group to ease us through the pain of our losses.
