Freshwater is always the best option.

That's usually the feeling here.
A good fresh water boat would be more desirable. I drove 2400km round trip
inland just to pick up my sailboat in 2004

Back in 1993 I moved from my native Gothenburg on the Swedish
west coast to Stockholm on the Baltic side of Sweden. I was
very impressed by how shiny and new looking all metal fittings
were on boats in marinas in Stockholm. "Those guys must spend
quite some time polishing things" Later I realized this is how
benign the almost fresh water of the Baltic is compared to
the Atlantic (almost) brine of the west coast.

Welcome, Martin.

I once rode my motorcycle from Gothenburg to Stockholm. It was a very
boring ride. But both Gothenburg and Stockholm were gorgeous cities to
visit.
