“Sailing Lessons for Beginners?”

“Dear PoPville,

Even in the depths of Winter, I’m already thinking ahead to warmer temps and a new hobby I’d like to take on: sailing!

I didn’t see anything immediately relevant in archives, so does the community have any recommendations for schools/clubs in the area (I’m an absolute beginner),

or even general advice for how to get started?

The internet suggests there are an option or two for learning in DC, plus some further afield (e.g. Annapolis) as well — I welcome all recommendations and tips, but especially those that are day-trip driving distance from town. Thanks!”
