Then on returning home carefully wipe down the mount and scope and clean the exposed optic as required.

Hi JA,
Great ideas regarding covering the scope. I am pretty handy so I should be able to design a cover that protects the scope at a beach session.
I guess it'd be best to buy a dedicated tripod as I am sure sand and salt will find its way into it.
Cheers,
Abdullah
