a gale warning means winds of 34 to 47 knots are imminent or
occuring. operating a vessel in gale conditions requires
experience and properly equipped vessels. it is highly
recommended that mariners without the proper experience 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.
