Hi David and Emma -
I think everyone replying to this thread will tell you that their marina is "the best" (or otherwise they'd be shopping for a new marina, no?) If it were me, I'd be trying to stay in the thick of the action, right in Annapolis. Our marina is
here - pricey but we like it a LOT. Although they don't "officially" allow living aboard on the hard, if you're a good citizen otherwise, they look the other way.
