SUNDAY EVENING...
...BEACH HAZARDS STATEMENT IS CANCELLED...

* WHAT...Please check with state and local authorities regarding
  guidelines for allowed activities. The warm air temperatures in
  the upper 80s may cause people to underestimate the dangers of
  the cold water temperatures which are currently only in the 50s.

* WHERE...In New Hampshire, Coastal Rockingham County. In Maine, 
  Coastal York, Coastal Cumberland, Sagadahoc, Lincoln, Knox and 
  Coastal Waldo Counties.

* WHEN...From Sunday morning through Sunday evening.

  could lose dexterity within minutes and be unable to accomplish 
  simple tasks. Anyone on boats or paddlecraft should use extreme 
  caution to avoid this threat.

PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS...

A Beach Hazards Statement is issued on days when a significant
number of boats and paddlecraft are expected to be out on the
