Just one quick comment on setting an anchor: You better get good at it and learn to feel it without diving it. Diving it is fine in clear, warm water. However, much of your cruising will be in mangroves or brackish water that will not allow you to dive your anchor. A trick we use is to back down hard (after we have set it) and hold the chain. It takes a little getting used to, but you can feel it bite or drag. Takes practice, but worth it.
