Obviously that's not an ideal situation for a telescope, so if you must the best idea would be to minimise exposure by siting it away from the spray and not looking in to the wind as much as possible and using a cover of sorts. Perhaps a sheet, towel or blanket over the scope with a hole in it and fastened around the tube with a strap or band allowing the scope to poke through and use a lens cap when not viewing. Then on returning home carefully wipe down the mount and scope and clean the exposed optic as required.
