My understanding (owners comments) as to why the ropes broke is:
First boat. Prior to breaking there were light winds where the boats in the anchorage floated (not pulling on the rode for the most part). Rode wrapped around a piece of coral/rock. Days later when the winds picked up the rode chafted through by action against the coral/rock.
Second boat - rode chafted through at the bow roller.
