* WHAT...For the Gale Warning, north winds 20 to 30 kt with
gusts up to 40 kt and waves 5 to 8 ft expected. For the Heavy
Freezing Spray Warning, heavy freezing spray at a rate of 2 cm
per hour or greater expected, and may rapidly accumulate on
vessels.

* WHERE...Lake Superior west of a line from Saxon Harbor WI to
Grand Portage MN beyond 5NM.

* WHEN...For the Gale Warning, from 1 PM EST /noon CST/ Thursday
to 1 AM EST /midnight CST/ Friday. For the Heavy Freezing
Spray Warning, from 7 PM EST /6 PM CST/ Thursday to 8 AM EST
/7 AM CST/ Friday.

* IMPACTS...Operating a vessel in heavy freezing spray is
hazardous. 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.

Information:

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.
