Examples of gales in a Sentence
One ship drives east and other drives west by the same winds that blow. It's the set of the sails and not the gales that determines the way they go.
E. J. Smith, 1907, Captain, RMS Titanic:
When anyone asks me how I can best describe my experience in nearly forty years at sea, I merely say, uneventful. Of course there have been winter gales, and storms and fog and the like. But in all my experience, I have never been in any accident... or any sort worth speaking about. I have seen but one vessel in distress in all my years at sea. I never saw a wreck and never have been wrecked nor was I ever in any predicament that threatened to end in disaster of any sort.
