* WHAT...For the Heavy Freezing Spray Warning, heavy freezing
spray at a rate of 2 cm per hour or greater may rapidly
accumulate on vessels. For the Small Craft Advisory, southwest
winds 15 to 20 kt with gusts up to 30 kt and waves 1 to 4 ft.
For the Gale Warning, southwest winds 20 to 25 kt with gusts
up to 35 kt and waves 2 to 5 ft expected.

* WHERE...Outer Apostle Islands Beyond 5 NM from Mainland.

* WHEN...For the Heavy Freezing Spray Warning, until 10 AM CST
Tuesday. For the Small Craft Advisory, until 3 PM CST this
afternoon. For the Gale Warning, from 3 PM this afternoon to
10 PM CST this evening.

* 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.
