...SMALL CRAFT ADVISORY IS CANCELLED...

Northerly winds today and tonight are now expected to be generally
in the 10 to 15 kt range across the outer waters and around Cape
Mendocino. While some elevated short-period seas of 3 to 5 feet
may make it uncomfortable for smaller vessels at times, with 
combined seas 6 to 7 feet across the outer waters, conditions are 
no longer expected to meet Small Craft Advisory criteria.
