This was discussed in depth a while back, but I though I'd report my 
experience.

I took my K3 to Niue and Norfolk Island for a couple of weeks each in 
their spring.  In both cases, we were high over the ocean, not close but 
it was visible, and humidity was often high.
My K3 now has a dozen screws that now have rusty heads- the 8 fan 
mounting screws and the 4 speaker mounting screws.  I have the SS screw 
kit in hand, but haven't gotten to installing them.

I also had a minor KAT3 failure, I think due to the amount of 
transportation, about which I'll report later.
