Moving to Lopez Island. Wondering about care of my Thompson, and where to paddle!

[ThompsonHiawatha]

Greetings!

It's looking like I may be moving to Lopez Island off the coast of Washington. I'm wondering if having my Thompson exposed for long periods to the salt sea air will be a problem? I know this is not the right forum for this question, but any tips on where to paddle in this area?

Thanks!

Peter.

Anywhere but the salt.........I'm talking cosmetic surgery gone wrong ! I'm hoping to work with Stewart Marshall soon.
