Yes, you're wonderful!
I was going to suggest just going down to a metal reclamation place, AKA junk yard, and find a hunk of zinc, attach it to a piece of wire and hang it over the side after attaching it to the engine ground. Same thing. We're going to be wintering in a marina in Florida and I'm going to be doing the same thing there.
However, a week without a zinc isn't going to hurt anything either.
Nuff said on this topic.
