* WHAT...For the Gale Warning, northwest winds 20 to 30 kt with
  gusts up to 35 kt and waves around 3 feet expected. For the

  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. During freezing spray conditions, the U.S.
