A not so subtle change in the way Environment Canada will report the wind.
Eh?

EFFECTIVE MARCH 19 2008, AT 1700 UTC, THE MARINE FORECASTING PROGRAM OF
ENVIRONMENT CANADA WILL ALERT MARINERS TO WIND CONDITIONS BETWEEN 20 AND 33

THIS REPLACES THE TERM -SMALL CRAFT WARNING-, USED DURING THE PREVIOUS
RECREATIONAL BOATING SEASON, IN THE FOLLOWING BULLETINS: 
 
REGULAR MARINE FORECASTS, MARINE WARNINGS AND THE MARINE SYNOPSIS.
