In that case, you need to get out more. :-) Bow/stern isn't that
common.

========================================

I have not cruised off the California coast but could see a need for
keeping your bow into the swell in some anchorages. Being sideways to
the swell is not a fun place to be.

I don't know the history behind bow and stern at my bow and stern anchorage,
but I think it has much to do with squeezing in as many boats as possible
into limited space. There are the wind shift factors as well, but I don't
know, I just don't know.
