[quote=Anonymous]Annapolis and Edgewater are great bets. I think St. Michaels would be do-able in 1.5 hrs but traffic might be kind of a pain in the summer when there's a lot of beach traffic. (Although sailing along that part of the Eastern shore's gorgeous). I'd also look on the western shore downin Southern MD. Calvert county, along rte 2/4 has some great water communities and Solomon's Island could be just their ticket for small town. The two sailing associations there are a little more low key than Annapolis. In Annapolis, Annapolis Yacht Club is kind of the more old school (which may seem uptight, depending on your perspective) and Eastport a bit less so. (Oh, over on the Eastern shore, Oxford's got a pretty yacht club on the Tred Avon).

I'd skip National Harbour, Old Town, etc as it's a long boat delivery down the Potomac from there to the Bay, so not really that convenient to the really nice sailing down here. Up north, they might want to have a look at Havre de Grace. And on the eastern shore but north of the Bay Bridge, they might think Chestertown's cute - it's a little college town and county seat, so has some restaurants, coffee shops etc. Rock Hall is very near it, too. They're probably both maybe 30 min north of the bay bridge.

Norfolk is, indeed, more than 1.5 hours away and, I think, not the prettiest sailing - it's a big commercial and military port and has about that much bucolic charm. It does have Amtrak, though, so getting up toDC isn't necessarily that bad.

The Northern Neck of VA could be a good option, although it's quieter. Kilmarnock's a long standing sailing town and Fishing Bay might be anoption, too. [/quote]
