Sound and sight. Felt chill and wetness. Smelled salt - and I think that it would be tasted in the air as well? Here, the four (or five) senses are presented very quickly in just a few sentences.
Anderson shows us colonized terrestroid planets like Gwydion but also many humanly uninhabitable planets and, in fact, Gwydion is due to give us a surprise.

Kaor, Paul!
I think you are right, what Anderson called the smelling of salt is more accurately called "tasting." But, odor might also play a role.
Ditto, what you said about the surprise Gywdion will spring on us!
