You almost inspired me to head down to Flinders in these miserable conditions!
Luckily I came to my senses. Today is similar to the last time I headed down even though it seems like there more persistent rain today. Rain doesn't worry me if the winds are light. Last time the BOM got the wind forecast completely wrong.
Again today the '5 to 10 knots' looks more like 20knts according to south channell wind orbs. (South Channell is most accurate for Flinders)

If anybody knows where to get a more accurate wind forecast than the standard BOM please let me know.
Good luck if you went out.
