Buoy Markers, Navigation and Waterway Boating Safety

Buoy Markers, Navigation and Waterway Boating Safety: "Aids to navigation found on federal waters, commonly known as buoys or channel markers, are designed, built and maintained by the United States Coast Guard. While some Aids to Navigation are buoys, many others may be day markers, ranges, or many other types of marks that provide the boating public with a "sense of direction" while on the water. Generally speaking, green markers are kept to the RIGHT when leaving a harbor and red markers are kept to the RIGHT when returning to harbor, thus coining the phrase, "Red, Right , Returning""
