Every "Bahamian moor" I have seen the anchors were at 180 deg , to keep the boat in a small spot.
*If you want to stay in one spot in a crowded anchorage with minimal wind, that's true.* That's not what the OP is up to, ergo advice to deploy on two rodes spread apart to increase holding power, and advice not to shackle two anchors together that were not designed for the purpose.

Daddyo, sounds like you all might be dodging a bit of a bullet wind speed wise, at least based on the early reports I have seen.
