Yeah, salt water boating is more exciting but is rarely refreshing.

The last word on salt is corrosion. Corrosion, with cheap wiring,
creeping up every wire from the ends. Wires should be tinned, and
often aren't of course. Aluminum boats like mine corrode like plastic
in fresh water. Iowa has
the Mississippi for one border the Missouri another, and for
excitement you can dodge those 1/4 mile long lashups of barges.

I find salt water very refreshing for swimming. Ocean water, not the
bay water around here.

As a bonus, salt water helps dry up those pesky pustules of Krauses.

He needs some "government" paid heath care for that.
