[C320-list] Traveling to DC-Annapolis area - tips welcome

[Tony Murphy]

Greetings fellow 320’er:

I have a posting of a more social nature.  I will be attending a week long meeting in Washington DC the first week of August.  Other than a week or two in the keys or BVI’s, all of my sailing has been on inland lakes.  Therefore,  I feel that I just can’t pass up the opportunity to take a day off (flexible meeting) and sample a bit of what it’s like to sail out on bigger water.  

Looking for day-sail charter recommendations.  I’m thinking a train ride over to Annapolis would be my best bet and I’m assuming public transportation will be good in getting me both ways.  Though I’m also not opposed to renting a car if that will get me to a marina quicker and out on the water.  If you know of other areas close to DC, please feel free to share some advice.

Anyone in that area that can provide any pointers?  It will most likely be just me and a work colleague of mine… probably mid-week, like Tues-Wed Aug 2-3.   Thanks in advance for any advice.
