For those really anal among us: if you take a trip to the beach in the airplane and park it overnight for 2 or more nights at an airport right along the beach, is there anything you do extra to prevent corrosion related issues from having the airplane get blown on by salty air for several days?

Corrosion X inside, no problem there. But, should I make a point to spray the airplane off with fresh water when I get back home? Or is the whole idea just too "OCD" to worry about for short (handful of days) trips?

I'm planning to fly to Pensacola next month to see the National Naval Museum and have a beach day. I'm thinking at least two nights, maybe three, tied outside in the salty air. I know folks fly to the Bahamas and the Keys all the time. Must be a well charted path.
