A Gale Warning means winds of 34 to 47 knots are imminent 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 gale watch is issued when the risk of gale force winds of 34 to

and/or location is still uncertain. It is intended to provide
additional lead time for mariners who may wish to consider
altering their plans.
