March 16, 2009 – Dungeness Anchorage

Position: N30º 46’.266 W081º 28’233

We are currently anchored in the Dungeness-Greyfield Channel

We wanted to go outside at Cumberland Sound but the wind has turned NE so we continued up the ICW. Claiborne Young’s Cruising Guide recommended this spot so we dropped the hook, lowered the dink and went ashore to tour the ruins of the Dungeness Mansion built in 1882 by Thomas Carnegie. It burned down in 1959 but the ruins are still spectacular. We hiked through the forest to the beach and saw many of the wild Cumberland Island horses. We took lots of photos, but can’t post them tonight as we’re using my cell as modem and it is SLOW! We’re planning to travel north on the ICW tomorrow through as much as Georgia as we can tolerate. It has just started to rain here. See all of you in a few weeks! We’ll post photos as soon as we have a fast internet connection.
