[Paddlewise] Salt water bathing

Hey all you crusty cruisers and funky touring people, how do you make out
bathing in salt water for weeks at a time?

According to the creaky chemist, salt water only contains 3% salt.  But I'm
somewhat concerned about salt sores and ulcers festering up after 'many'
days.  I've been told that if you dry yourself thoroughly after bathing you
will get most of the salt off.  Some places are easier to dry than others
and those are the ones I'm worried about.

I wonder what happens to the salt concentration in the towel.  Rinse it out
like a Gortex dry suit I guess.

I have a Sun Shower that works ok but I haven't used it for several/many
consecutive days.  BTW I use Joy dish detergent for the suds.
