Where did you keep your boats, somewhere up north?

We live in the high desert. If I looked to my left, I would see Flagstaff, that climbs to over 8,000 feet. Going east, it's rollers, and I'll do 3500-4000 feet in a 4-5 hour endurance ride.

Never gone into Deale on our boat, but I've on other peoples' boats in Herrington Harbor a few times.
Solomons is one of our favorite places. Did many overnight races from Annapolis and Screwpile regattas there, we have friends in the area, and we nearly always anchor in the cove on Cuckold/Mill Cr., up past the bridge, on the way to and from the Potomac and points south. Also spend the rare night or two at Zahnisers, when we really want a hot shower or some fresh veggies. We keep our boat in Annapolis.

You need to come to abshipp’s area or my area if you want to really see flat.

What, the drinking?
Every regatta or big distance race has a rum sponsor and a tent party at the end of each day of racing with cheap, decent quality, occasionally "free," booze. And that's after beer on the way back from the course or even during the race on some boats I've been on. I've never been in any scene with so many heavy drinkers, alcoholics, and obnoxious drunks.

If you have a bike with you, don’t ride across the bridge when traffic is heavy. The shoulder is filled with debris and the concrete barriers aren’t very high.

Solomons! Back in the 1970s and early 80s, my brother-in-law was in the Navy and every summer we'd rent a house at the Naval Recreation Center there. Another brother-in-law had a cabin cruiser docked at Annapolis that he sailed over, a couple years. That was fun! Fishing on the Bay, crabbing at night off the pier, etc. Nice place, the Chesapeake.

I am not a good astronomer, and this place is not great to look at the sky. Most of the low-mid horizon is blocked by trees

I actually saw a Strava recording of a friend's metric on Sunday. 436' total along the lakeshore
