We are a more progressive/diverse family and are interested in what folks recommend for a marina in the Annapolis/Deale/Southern Maryland area that has like-minded boaters (do those exist?). We are not vocally political or in-your-face with our beliefs, but at our marina last summer we felt out of place bc nearly all the boats were draped in flags and fanfare for our former president, blue lives matter, etc., and the clientele were very in-your-face about it, belligerent, etc. with their political statements. In addition, a large majority of the clients refused to wear masks in marina public areas, and management didn't seem to care and clearly are of the same mindset. It was uncomfortable for us, especially for our young children, when we got the side eye, smirks, and occasional comment. We certainly didn't feel comfortable at the social events or "raft ups" with other families. We hope to have a different experience socially this upcoming summer. Any recommendations? Again, we don't really care about people's beliefs (live and let live IMO), but we do care if people are hostile towards ours. Thanks.
