Try your local library. I believe Victoria offers free read only copies of select Australian Standards.

These are a bit of an overkill and have snuck up a bit in price. I think I paid around $100. Stick em in a locker or drawer.

Ramona,
For the electrically challenged, how easy are these to convert to 12V input, not using an inverter?

I don't like my Raspberry Pi and would like change to windows based.

You can buy 'pocket size' inverters for ~$50. It would probably cost more than that to convert to 12v input.

Apart from getting the scope right for the conditions, what I do is have Navionics on a tablet and start the tracking and leave it on when you anchor. You should see a tight pattern when the vessel swings around and easy enough to see if you are holding or not.
I also use an anchor alarm but always check the tablet track pattern when I get up during the night.

Bobski,
Docking and undocking will be the stressful part, particularly getting in and out of marinas in unfavourable winds.
I highly recommend the book 'Stress-free sailing' by Duncan Wells. He has a lot of short or single handed sailing techniques.
