You might want to have your butler, first mate, cabin boy, laundry
and morale officer, or whoever, row the dingy (or take the launch)
ashore occasionally for a CLA. Or you could just put everything
in the dishwasher weekly if you're too far from shore. And don't
forget the Clorox and lots of detergent.
Seriously, IMO, shouldn't be a problem. But, then, I'm not a
sailor, much preferring the mountains to the sea. I can walk a
hell of a lot further than I can swim.

>I spend most of each summer aboard my boat on the Chesapeake Bay
with hot, humid and salty air the norm. This is not the best
environment for a camera. I can keep equipment protected when not
in use by using a water tight box with silica gel. However would
those conditions be harmful to the lubrication used on the
internal mechanisms?

adverse effect on the film even keeping the box in the coolest
part of the boat? Will it become brittle if left sealed up for
weeks?
