I hear this over and over and I'm confused as to how to do this. On my boat,
an Albin with LOTS of teak including decks all around as well as the
sundeck, I always rinse the boat down after a cruise to remove the salt from
the isenglass, as well as the boat as a whole. Can't stand that salt feel
and look on the hull sides, hand rails, etc. SO, if you wash the decks down
with salt water, now you have salt residue on the hull sides and everything
else that got splashed in the process. So, you rinse that off with fresh
water and remove the salt from the decks. See where this is going? How do
you folks that follow this regiment of always rinsing the decks with salt
water handle this?
