As Rick and others have said, 35 pounds should work for your stated
use. I used a 35 Delta in SF Bay for years, although the bottom there
was sticky mud.
For long term cruising I have a 55 Rocna with 300 feet of chain, and
that has held in 50 with gusts to 70. But that's a different use.

That said, when I was day sailing and weekend cruising, as you describe,
with stops for lunch or swimming and nights in local protected coves, my
only anchor was the 35 CQR with 35 feet of chain and 200 feet of nylon. So
your proposed arrangement should be OK for that limited purpose. If you
range more widely and start to run into more adverse conditions, you should
think about upgrading the ground tackle.
