45lb is a good size, just not with a CQR, not in soft ground. Anyone telling you a 35lb CQR is adequate as a primary anchor on your boat in that area is rather optimistic, frankly. You will find that most on this site, particularly the long term cruisers, will agree with the "your anchor can't be too big" philosophy.
