If your skin is wet with salt water... you become much more conductive to electricity... Being very cautious around the batteries is generally wise. Yes, under normal circumstances, 12 VDC isn't sufficient to electrocute someone...but accidents happen, especially if you mix salt water and electricity.
BTW, pure water is a very poor conductor of electricity... Salt water is a very good conductor of electricity.

You know what the first rule of sailing is? ...Love. You can learn all the math in the 'verse, but you take
a boat to the sea you don't love, she'll shake you off just as sure as the turning of the worlds. Love keeps
her going when she oughta fall down, tells you she's hurting 'fore she keens. Makes her a home.
