Camaraderie... Thanks very much for your input. I have no first hand experience with the CQR, but have a delta as my back up currently. Your thoughts on the weight of all chain on both anchors certainly does ring true.

In your opinion, how badly do you think a permanently set up dual anchor system is needed for bahamas cruising? If I set up all chain on an well oversized delta as my primary on the windlass, and kept my fortress on 50' of chain w/nylon rode, and another delta on 20' of chain/nylon rode as back up's in a locker, would it be a reasonable set up for the bahamas?

Thanks,
Mark
