Information: 
During freezing spray conditions the U.S. Coast Guard advises
that you ensure all lifesaving equipment remains free of ice.

Mariners should prepare for accumulation of ice on their vessel
and consider altering plans to avoid or mitigate these hazardous
navigating conditions.

Inexperienced mariners, especially those operating smaller
vessels, should avoid navigating in hazardous conditions.
