The marinas south of DC are all very shallow. No possible way to get in and out of Ft. Washington, and down in Occoquan there are bridges that are not sailboat friendly. So that's why I am looking over on the bay.
I looked for Washington Post classifieds online but amazingly they are not accessible that way. I think that it is in the Sunday sports section classifieds where slips may be listed? The Boat/US website has a classifieds section but no category for slips, nor a search engine that accepts terms.

Yeah, I've found the drive to Deale or Galesville is shorter (time and distance) than the drive to Annapolis, too. From the Pentagon, it's about 35-36 miles to Galesville.
Did you try Belle Haven, Washington Sailing Marina, or Gangplank? They all have deep water (Belle Haven is borderline, but I think you could do it if you come and go at high tide).
The boat/marine classifieds used to be in a separate section (Sports) of the Wash Post on Saturdays/Sundays. With the decline in marine-related advertising due to competition from the internet, I think they gave up on that, and bundle it all together with the other classifieds now.
