There is some anchoring available in San Diego but be careful and check the
regulations with the Harbor Patrol when you clear in from Mexico.
In the LA area, anchoring is almost non-existent. While I am not 100%
certain, I don't believe there is any area you can safely anchor and leave
your boat while working.
Santa Barbara has an anchoring area outside the harbor. It is a little
bumpy at times but there are a number of boats out there. Don't know what
kind of work you can find in SB since it is a long way from LA.
In SF, there is some anchoring available near Sausalito but you need to
check the regs up there when you arrive.
Hope this helps...jpc
