Proper ground tackle for long island sound and new england

Was going to take a few weeks and go sailing on my boat i got last year, was hoping to hit ports such as shelter island and the area, block island, new port, niantic, cutty hunk, upper cape and boston. Was wondering what would be considered the best or at least good ground tackle for the areas. I have a 37 morgan (9 tons) I have on board, a 45 cqr, a 35 cqr and a 55 fortress aluminum anchor and about 12 ft of chain and 500 feet of line. Just bought a sentinel and will be using a 20 to 30 lbs weight off of that.
Is this sufficient? I hope to be anchoring a lot and going into land and exploring areas with the dinghy so i want to be sure the boat will be safe and secure. I dont want to be worring about it all the time.
What do you experienced crusiers recommend and why?
