* WHAT...For the Gale Warning, southwest winds 20 to 30 kt with
gusts up to 40 kt and waves 6 to 11 ft occurring. For the
Heavy Freezing Spray Warning, heavy freezing spray at a rate
of 2 cm per hour or greater occurring, and may rapidly
accumulate on vessels.

* WHERE...Lake Superior from Saxon Harbor WI to Upper Entrance
to Portage Canal MI 5NM off shore to the US/Canadian border
including Isle Royale National Park and Lake Superior from
Upper Entrance to Portage Canal to Manitou Island MI 5NM off
shore to the US/Canadian Border.

* WHEN...For the Gale Warning, until 10 PM EST this evening. For
the Heavy Freezing Spray Warning, until 7 PM EST Tuesday.

* 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.
