Jigs and battery lost. Fri. LJ

Though I thought I had every thing tied down good the surf beating my yak took Fri evening was more then I expected. The tide was out going and about half way. I lost a blue cloth jig box full of my Favorite jigs.(12 or so) and the sealed lead battery I just bought.
Maybe this was a blessing. I had everything bungied down but when the yak got capsized, my milk crate bungied down out of the yak while still attached acting like a sea anchor, preventing me from righting it.
If this had happened off shore I would of never been able to flip it back with out cutting off the box.
My new Favorite windbreaker that I didn't have on at the time, was so full of water it must of weighted 60lbs, as I tried to pull it from the surf, and the water wouldn't drain out. I don't think I'll wear it on the water any more.
if any one finds these things please PM me. thanks
