St. Mary's City, MD

[Kevin's Post]We left Solomons after topping off our water tanks and headed south for the Potomac. Another good day of downwind motorsailing. Just across the Patuxent from Solomons is a naval air base and there are constantly military aircraft flying around the area some of them low enough that you can practically see the crew. There is a target range in the water that they use for bombing practice and the navy range boats hail every boat going by on the VHF warning them to stay 1/4 mile from the range. Well, I figure that if they need practice, I'm going to stay more than 1/4 mile away. We overheard the navy say to one boat "They're fairly accurate most of the time". We turned up the Potomac to go to St. Mary's City which was the original capitol of Maryland. The Governor's cup race goes from Annapolis to here so we figured there must be stuff to see/do. Other than the college, it was pretty much a ghost town. In order to preserve the historic nature of the town, they have banned all commerce within a mile radius.
