I would be a little concerned about not using a GFI near water. Personalty any bathroom/kitchen on my property have nothing but GFI's in every outlet.
On the other hand when you want to sell later it is easy to install GFI outlets.

I think about those hand held blenders always used near the sink. A GFCI is basically a window transformer that encircles the hot and the common. If no leakage then the flux cancells each other out and no magnetic field is generated in the transformer. If there is leakage to ground, then there will be residual flux in the transformer thus setting up a magnetic field which pulls the metal solenoid and breaks the circuit. This happens almost instantly and has saved innumerable lives. I love guitars.
