precautionary/preparedness actions...
a gale warning means winds of 34 to 47 knots are imminent or
occurring. operating a vessel in gale conditions requires
experience and properly equipped vessels. it is highly
recommended that mariners without the proper experience or
equipment seek safe harbor prior to the onset of gale conditions.
a freezing spray advisory means that light to moderate
accumulation of ice is expected on vessels. operating a vessel in
freezing spray can be hazardous. it is recommended that vessels
be prepared to take appropriate counter measures before putting
to sea or enter the advisory area. the coast guard urges mariners
to ensure their life saving equipment remains free of ice.
