Default out of zinc

I have been reading that more boaters are turning to aluminum anodes. While
more noble than zinc, they are still far more reactive than steel or bronze.
I must admit though, I have not had the nerve to try them yet on my Nic 35

According to the New Scientist magazine, we're going to run out of zinc by
about 2037.

What's the next best sacrificial metal... magnesium? LOL
