After our lovely holiday down South of WA I finally had my somewhat anal fascination with carring my spare keys with us justified. Mind you they were half an hours drive away (in our challet) but that was better than back at
home on the
kitchen bench! :-P
Among other things like, fishing, swiming, visiting brewies etc etc we decided to go for a sail on a friends Surf Cat. After a lovely time out on the sea with a little swim in the ocean while un tangling a rope from one of the rudders I realised that in all my wisdom I had left the car keys in my pocket. With imboliser remote and all.... Ooooops.
unbelivably after being suburged in salty water and sitting in the sun for a couple of hours to dry out it still worked. We got back to the challet later on that afternoon when it subsiquentally died and the spare ones were very useful.
I have since managed to get the other one working with some care, contact cleaner and CRC, but just thought it was worth sharing! :-)
PS We had an absolute ball, hope everyone else had a good break too!
