Unless you've taken a coastal navigation course (like $300 you cheap fucks) you're going to have a bad time and end up wrecking your boat.
I don't care if you can tack and jibe well enough to hold a course at hullspeed for more than five minutes, unless you can read a chart and know what the fuck you're sailing through and anchoring in, you are going to be calling the coast guard. Know what a lee shore is? What type of bottom your specific anchor is going to be fouled on? How to identify a rock that is awash at chart datum?
Pic related, it's what happens when you fuck up your navigation.
