Subjecting the 2010 to harsh travel conditions and corrosive salt air
sounds like a recipe for disaster..

I had a variety of receivers from an R390 to solid state ones that I used in
both "on the beach" DX jaunts and in a beach condo for a decade or so in
Puerto Rico. Neither they nor the home electronics seemed to suffer when
they were given occasional cleanings (the condo seldom had air conditioning
on due to high electric rates and the delightful temperatures year round). I
don't think a single cruise would hurt a 2010, and placing it in a video
camera bag or small computer bag inside a suitcase would probably protect it
enough.

There is certainly a lot of pleasure to be derived from listening to exotic
stations as locals!
