A post about this would be nice.<br /><br />Sure, they indicate intersecting channels, but what is the difference between a triangular RG and a square RG daymark?<br /><br />A recent trip down the S. Edisto river caused concern when I encountered a triangular Red/Green. I'm currently going South on the ICW so I have Red to Starboard on the ICW. The triangular R/G is not an ICW marker and lies dead center of the river. Which side to I go?<br /><br />It would pass on my Port side if I stay on the ICW so I know the ICW side must be green. That makes the Edisto River side Red. Going down stream in the Edisto river Red is Left Leaving so I left it to Port. It is triangular since it is an Edisto River mark and not an ICW mark. Had it been a shared mark it would have been a Red/Green square if placed just slightly farther upstream.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30609206.post-8578488036434621952012-05-14T13:17:20.205-04:002012-05-14T13:17:20.205-04:00It's red right returning to the head of naviga...It's red right returning to the head of navigation, which is usually upstream. On the upper Niagara River, the head of navigation is DOWNstream, so red is on the right when headed down river.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30609206.post-88769719958236992832012-01-29T18:37:18.243-05:002012-01-29T18:37:18.243-05:00The international buoyage system is divided into 2...The international buoyage system is divided into 2 regions.

ATONs aren't nearly as plentiful here, and sometimes don't follow the rules I thought I knew. Lesson: always have local charts aboard.marinermark@cs.comnoreply@blogger.com
