   "Close the windows" doesn't always work.

At many of the locations I was working from, salt spray was unavoidable and
my TEN-TEC got a bath.

For Instance, working Field Day from the Isle of Mann in 1992...

And sometimes it was just "Ham Radio On the Rocks", as in Corsica in 1990...

It's just like many other hobbies;  you're either "in the game" or you're a
spectator.

When I was younger I raced Sports Cars (SCCA).
On a good weekend I was able to tow my car home myself.
And sometimes my race car left the track on the bed of a wrecker.
But I was in the game!

There is an important lesson here:   
  1)  close the window... and  
  2)  I will be leaving my TT gear at home.
