Tuesday or Wednesday departure

Unfortunately the weather doesn't look too good for our planned departure on Tuesday with W to SW winds at 25 - 30 knots. So we may delay leaving until Wednesday 31st Dec. The latest plan is to sail from Launceston on Monday morning and call in to collect our kayaks at Deviot. Stay at Spring Bay on Monday night. Then on Tuesday continue down the Tamar River to Beauty Point and stay at  Low Head Pilot station on Tuesday night.  On Wednesday morning customs will travel down to Low Head to clear us and then we hope to depart about 10am for New Zealand. Our ETA for Nelson will be the 11/1/15.
We had a taste of high latitude cruising today with 5 seals at the Cataract Gorge in Launceston. They might be here for the annual eel migration?
