A question of seamanship.
Does anybody know of a good guide to seamanship for small craft (small 30' sail) - books, or web resources (free, but difficult to read in bed).
Here is an example of the questions I have.
If achoring for the night in a good archorage protected from a southerly breeze, but a bad lee shore in a northerly; would it be wise to lay the anchor out and dig it in facing the north, or would I just end drifting back over it and end up with a bad holding in any weather.
