Default Blowoff Question

So, I just started a strong scotch ale last night(OK, this morning) and installed a blowoff tube. The temp is 68º and OG was 1.073. Its a 5 gallon batch in an Ale Pail using Windsor Dry yeast.

I'm going to be going out of town for a couple weeks for the holidays and was wondering of the blowoff would be OK or if I should try to have someone get an airlock on it in a few days.
