I have a set of chrome molybdenum drivers that I leave in Cozumel for
working on PCs.  They have been down there about 6 months and are covered
with rust but have never been near the water.  The air down there is brutal.
If we were there all the time, it would probably not be an issue since the
new AC units really dry out the air but when the house is unoccupied....
