I have 2 anchors, one with 200' and the other 350'. Cruise the same area as you, ICW and the loop next year. Haven't used 100' on the ICW yet. So I think you're fine with the 200' for now. When you do the loop, you can always reconsider if you need more as it's pretty easy to change. If you haven't done it already, add the 50 to 100' of line to your chain and secure the other end in the chain locker. It would be embarrassing to need 190' and put out 201'.
