[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Eastern shore - so boring![/quote]

Not that nice, either.  I expected a lot more. [/quote]

You need to be rich enough to have a boat to properly enjoy it. Otherwise it is just marshy waterfront with nasty muck under the water. Not really that great for swimming.[/quote]

Yes, exactly![/quote]

Except the homes aren't that great, the food isn't that great, and if it is not nice weather, well.....I could take a boat out here, no problem. It's like people who go to the beach to swim in a pool.  What the actual? [/quote]

Boating in the Potomac is not at all comparable to the Chesapeake.  The Chesapeake Bay is one of the best places in the world to sail.  There are very few places that have the combination of open, yet fairly protected, water, with such a wide variety of sailboat depth inlets, bays and anchorages all within a few days of sail of each other.  Because it's a bay, the destinations are in all directions, so you can see which way the wind is blowing and decide where to go.  On most coastlines, you can pretty much sail north and south (or east and west if you're on the northern Gulf Coast). If the wind is coming from a "bad" direction, you've got no choice but try to tack your way up and down.  The bottom is even fairly soft in most places, so you don't wreck your boat if you run aground.  Compare to LA, which has better weather for most of the year, but there's really nowhere to go. You can sail to Catalina and back, and that's pretty much it.  Mexico is doable, but not in a weekend.  Maine is comparable, but the weather sucks most of the time and the rocks and tides are very unforgiving. [/quote]
