I was flying my Mavic Pro a little too close to the ocean. A wave crashed on the rocks and sprayed my drone. I immediately went home and came home. I took the battery off and wiped it down as best as I could. Should I take other action?
The amount of water that got on the drone would not even fill half a shot glass but I know how salt water and electronics don't like each other. Tips? Suggestions?
 
Just to be safe I would put the Mavic in a rice bag to take care of any moister.
 
Wouldn't silica gel be a better choice than rice? I am not even sure if rice really does anything. Silica packs suck the moisture out of anything.

Most anyone has rice or can buy easily, silica packets not so much so
