While I have never really been able to gain much practical sailing experience, what with raising kids and surviving and all. I have always been able to do a lot of reading and studying of just about every aspect of sailing you can think of. But the big mystery, one I have not seen much information on is what the process can be like with regard to making port in foreign countries or with regard to getting through quarantine, finding an appropriate anchorage, or knowing what to expect in the way of expenses and fees. I mean is it possible that one could end up in a situation where being on the hook or tied in a slip could severely limit a visit to a particular area because of the expense? What must one do prior to undertaking a voyage? What are the liabilities when some calamity makes it necessary to stop in a port of a not so friendly nation?
I would imagine that piloting manuals might contain some of this information or at least give the location of various anchorages. Is there information out there from which to learn a few things? Who wrote the book on it?
