[Rhodes22-list] Wash., DC marinas

[L. Sailor]

Steve,
If you want to do the sightseeing thing in DC, it
might be a thought to go to Solomons Is, or one of the
marinas on the MD shore of the Potomac, rent an car,
(Enterprise comes to you) drive to a MD Metro station
(not so very far from the marinas), and travel to DC
that way. It's quite a long haul up the Potomac to DC;
if your time is somewhat limited you may not want to
spend it motorong up the Potomac... and you'll be out
of the city & enjoying the country at night.
