Is there a Marina that takes transients that you can recommend in the DC
area. We would need 30 amp service, easy access for my friend to pick us
up and take us touring and facilities (showers, head, etc.).

The main marina in DC is: Gangplank Marina That's the one I hear
about most often. Since I have a sailboat, I've never been of course.

service/repair and parking

BTW, do either of you know how long a ride it is from Point Lookout and
whether there are speed limitations? 70 - 100 miles is not long at 25-35
mph. At 10 mph it gets old fast.

You don't have to start at Point Lookout you know. Get a chart and
figure out how far down the river you want to be, and find the nearest
put-in point. You could start down at Smith Piont (on the Virginia
side.
