Wombat Hole

February 8, 2017

We’re in Stewarts Bay – a bay in Port Arthur, Tasmania – but Cyndi started calling it our wombat hole and I like it. She calls it that because, while the predictions are for about 30 knots of wind from the NE and we’re seeing lots of wind waves outside our bay, we have just about zero knots and almost glassy water.

Here’s what’s on PredictWind right now…

And this is a picture from our boat…

A closeup (over-zoomed and pretty blurry, sorry) shows a sea full of whitecaps just outside our anchorage…

What’s a wombat? What’s a wombat hole?

Taken by Cyndi on one of our Maria Island walks. This guy is about medium-dog size. There’s no wind in his hole either!

Below is an interactive Google map that shows where our wombat hole is located…
