The National Weather Service in Gray has issued a Small Craft Advisory for hazardous seas, which is in effect until 5 PM EDT Friday. The Small Craft Advisory has been cancelled. * SEAS...5 to 8 feet. PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS... A Small Craft Advisory for hazardous seas means that waves are expected to be hazardous to small craft. Mariners should avoid shoaling areas. Long period swell can sharpen into large breaking waves in shoaling areas. It is not unusual for waves to break much farther from shoaling areas than is normally experienced. Remember...breaking waves can easily capsize even larger vessels. && $$
