Richard,
Under your shooting circumstances putting a protective filter on
makes sense, as salt spray doesn't help any equipment, and can be a
pain to get off.
On the other hand on the topic of a UV filter reducing the tendency
to overexposure: I don't believe you....if you are using a Leica lens
produced in the last 30 years. All Leica lenses have a UV blocking
function built in.
