Patrick, I'm marooned in Atlanta and desperately trying to figure out a
way back to the beach where I grew up. Having grown up with the salt
air of the gulf I can say that there is almost nothing more corrosive
than salt air and water. My father has a 73 1/2 Porsche 911 that's been
garage since new and he has had two issues with rust that involved
replacing his front fenders and some of the front apron.
But, if I had a chance to live on an island in Florida then I'd be
booking my tickets and arranging for the moving van right now.

Salt air is worse. If you live near the water, things are generally more
humid. That means more condensate. If you pick up any salt from the
roads
(which you will on coastal roads), and then add condennsing air, the
moisture will wick into the seams of the body work.
Can you spell "tin worm"?
