As an offshore fisherman for over 25 years I know one thing,, if a guy gets drenched like he said he did(and I have many many times) there is no way he could wash all the salt off his boat and trailer,, the spray gets into the battery bildge area, around the steering, cables, nooks and crannys of the aluminum riveted hull connections, engine in and out, around transducer fittings,, let alone wheel hubs, springs and lighting housing on his trailer,, no way you ever get it all,, you just try to keep ahead as much as you can but eventually the salt water will win first on the trailer and then on the boat,, it is always a state of repairing the salt damage to your boat and trailer,, would like to know where his flushing kit was and if he even has one,, if he doesn't then he is toast!

This is very interesting. In San Diego, where I live and work, I park near some apartments next to where I work. There is a guy there with a huge boat - everytime he takes it out to the ocean (it's a cabin job), he totally washes it down with soap and water. Of course, he has to park it on the street in order to do that and I would sit in my car at lunch and watch him. It was like his baby.

Of course, not all guys "love" their boats, but this is sounding more and more like the guy went to his girlfriends instead of going sailing. I wonder if she has already told the police. This gets more and more weird every day.
