Dungeness Greyfield Channel Anchorage (Statute Mile 711.5)
To access the Dungeness Greyfield Channel Anchorage, one must cruise south to St. Marys River, and then back north on the broad channel off the western banks of beautiful Cumberland Island. This is trip EVERY cruiser should take. You can anchor off the “Sea Camp” (US Park Service) docks and take a tour ashore. The martime forests are dreamlike. Walk across to the beach. You won’t soon forget your journey, and don’t miss a tour of Plum Orchard Planation and the ruins of Dungeness Plantation. There is so much rich history here! Cumberland Island is a cruising gem!
Kittiwake, a Cape Doty 28 with CQR #25, and 25 feet 3/8’³ chain, had no problem holding there, with a little opposing tide/wind – the island off port bow gives some nice protection from N, and bugs can blow off as well. The Cumberland Island ferry was extremely polite, slowing down as she past, as did the hotel boat
