Waiting for the weather

It is Monday, we have finished loading Carina, and now wait for the off. A quick look at the forecast for Tuesday night's proposed crossing presents a horrid picture: The low pressure is deepening to 980 and is going further south than expected, so giving South Westerly winds up to 40 knots gusting 50.
This will mean a close reach in unacceptable weather, so I have delayed the start to Wednesday evening. Fingers crossed.
