...GALE WARNING REMAINS IN EFFECT UNTIL 6 AM EST SATURDAY...

SATURDAY...

...LOW WATER ADVISORY REMAINS IN EFFECT FROM 3 PM THIS AFTERNOON

TO 9 PM EST THIS EVENING...



* WINDS AND SEAS...West winds 30 to 40 kt with gusts up to 45 kt.

  Seas 7 to 13 feet.



* Freezing Spray...Moderate freezing spray through tonight.



* Water Levels...For this afternoon and evening, water levels 

  will reach 2 feet below mean lower low water during times of low

  tide.



* Impacts...Low water conditions during low tide may lead to 

  navigation difficulty and may require extra slack and mooring. 

  Freezing spray will add weight to vessels, changing its center 

  of mass to reduce stability of the vessel.



PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS...



A Gale Warning means sustained winds or frequent gusts of 34 to

47 kt are expected or occurring. 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.



A Low Water Advisory means water levels are expected to be

significantly below average. Mariners should use extreme caution

and transit at the slowest safe navigable speed to minimize

impact.
