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?
