Philip,

If you're interested in lessons, check out:

http://www.usna.edu/MWR/programs.htm  410.293.2058/3731

The Annapolis Navy Station isn't too far of a drive for you and they
offer the US Sailing Basic Keelboat Course for $165 (you'll need your
military ID).  Classroom Friday night; in water lessons with the
instructor all day Saturday; and in water "test" with students only all
day Sunday (everyone passes).  After completing the course, you'll be
able to rent the Naval Academy's old student knockabouts (Rainbow24s),
other small sailboats, and some Boston Whalers.  Lessons and rentals are
about half the price of non-military facilities, and it's tough to beat
the location.  Note that there may already be a waiting list for some
2007 sailing courses.

Good luck!

Lately I have been busy.  I have been avoiding most of the political
clap
trap so I haven't posted as much.  We (Deena and I) are debating whether
to
keep the loaner
another year or just jump into the new boat now.  The loaner needs some
work
if we use it another season, so we have to plan a trip to Edenton.  We
are
planning to take lessons for certification this spring when the weather
is
warmer.
