I didn't ask him for the painful details on the oceanic excursion, but he lives in Houston, so the Gulf is right close to him.
Salt water just destroys stuff. For example, to get the rear wheel bolt/axle out, I had to lift the entire bike and support it on sawhorses and slide the rear wheel into my 20 ton shop press, then apply heat and penetrating oil and hydraulic pressure for a week before the bolt would begin to move. Needless to say the bearings within we're not in good shape.
