    • Cumberland Island – Waterway Anchorage (Statute mile 694)

      The anchorage referred to by Captain Chuck below consists of a charted lobe of deep water running off the AICW. There is minimal protection here from foul weather, but I did not know about the "hard" bottom. Note Chuck's reference below to grounding as well.

      Subject: Cumberland Island anchorage ICS SM 694
      Cruising News: Anchored on 8/17/08 in the waterway anchorage adjacent to Cumberland Island at FL G 37.  Had a difficult time setting our hook (35 # delta) in 10 feet of water with 7:1 scope.  Bottom very hard.  Grounded briefly the next morning at low tide.  Chart soundings are very liberal!  We bounced like a cork with moderate west winds.  I\'d suggest bypassing this anchorage for one of several within 5 miles further south.
