For the first Small Craft Advisory, north winds 15 to 20 kt with gusts up to 30 kt and waves 3 to 4 ft occurring. For the Gale Warning, north winds 20 to 25 kt with gusts up to 35 kt and waves 6 to 9 ft expected.

Freezing spray may render mechanical and electronic components inoperative. Rapid ice accretion on decks and superstructures may result in a catastrophic loss of stability. Strong winds will cause hazardous waves which could capsize or damage vessels and reduce visibility. PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS... Mariners should prepare for dangerous accumulation of ice on their vessel. If possible, remain in port, avoid the warning area or conduct mitigation. Mariners should alter plans to avoid these hazardous conditions. Remain in port, seek safe harbor, alter course, and/or secure the vessel for hazardous conditions. &&
