Navigation System
Navigational aids, such as signs or
buoys, can assist you identify safe
waters. Buoys will indicate whether
you should keep to the right (star-
board) or to the left (port) of the buoy
or to which channel you can continue.
They may also indicate whether you
are entering a restricted or controlled
area such as a no wake or speed zone.
They may also indicate hazards or per-
tinent boating information. Markers
maybe located on shore or on the
water. They can also indicate speed
limits, no power craft or boating, an-
chorage and other useful information.
(The shape of each type of marker will
provide assistance).
Make sure you know and understand
the navigation system applicable to
the waterways where you intend to
use the watercraft.
