Thanks Jim,
Yes salt is more of an issue. Fortunately it was dry.
I seem to have cleaned it up but still got an issue with the rotary
control on far right the switch doesn't always switch.

This is why when I operated from the beach in Punta Cana as HI/K8MR in
the 2014 ARRL and CQ CW DX contests, I took care to tape over all
unused connectors, the seam where the two halves hinge together, and
the speaker (I was using ear buds). While I did not do so, it might
also be good to put some clear tape over the LEDs that stick through
the front panel.
I then placed the radio inside a large ZipLock bag, open only enough
to let the cables pass through. I used the dial lock when possible,
and either tuned through the bag, or cheated a bit and opened the bag
to get at the controls.
I imagine salt would be even more destructive than sand.
