M_Boats: Tomales Bay

Yeah, it's me again... the average sailor that has never sailed anything but inland waters. I am on vacation this week and the only wind i can find is on the coast. The SF Bay intimidates me so i am considering Tomales Bay. My biggest fear? Anchoring at night and finding myself being pulled by the tides into the mighty Pacific... any mooring suggestions? Any anchoring tips? Any other tips? Jeff
