could audio on VHS be inadvertently erased without harming picture?

63.162.198.134

there are alot of variables that could be the problem, but here is the situation:

VHS-C cassette (comes with standard VHS size adapter for VCR play) worked at owners house 4 days ago. Was taken to the beach and left in a bag the entire time, tape not in direct sunlight, but bag might have been. Also damp towels in bag, but tape was in case and shouldn't have gotten wet. brought it to my VCR to view, picture is fine, but there is no audio, just a consistently loud noise floor. Other VHS tapes work fine, but this one doesn't. I've never played a VHS-C/adapter in my VCR, so I don't know if the mechanism is the problem. Could the audio have been somehow lifted without harming the video (of accidental natural phenomena)?

i'm really gonna miss the sound on this tape...old high school wackiness...
