As promised, which means I actually remembered and that’s pretty good for an old guy, here is the answer to the question of the week.  Thank you to all who answered! There were a couple of correct answers, many with one half or the other correct and a few…well out in left field somewhere.  But that is ok as my goal with the “Question of the Week” is to teach and pass on a tidbit of knowledge necessary to safely and successfully operating a boat.  Thanks again to all who answered.

The short answer:

-Markers changed sides from Red on the right to Red on the left as the ICW joined a waterway navigable from the ocean.

-The Green markers will now have a yellow triangle on them and The Red markers will have a yellow square.

 

The Explanation:

And, these generic no prescription viagra symptoms are largely caused due to stress and depression. Weight liftingAlthough there has never been a better viagra price time to buy Kamagra jelly, yes that’s right, get your anti-ED medication online. However, since the composition of all the medicines for viagra prices australia erectile dysfunction treatment. The pills will get absorbed in blood and after a certain time, there are bright chances of the men not requiring oral medicines at all. viagra pfizer pharmacie Lateral markers in the ILLA Area B, which includes the US, The Caribbean, South America and US possessions in the Pacific, are Red Right Returning to port or when traveling towards head of navigation.   On the ICW Brownsville Texas is considered “head of navigation”.  Thus, when traveling on the ICW in the following directions Red ICW marks will be on your right; southbound along the US East Coast, across Florida from east to west, North along Florida’s Gulf Coast and West along the Gulf of Mexico.

Markers along the ICW, be they fixed daymarks or floating buoys, will have either a small yellow triangle or a small yellow square to indicate you are on the ICW.  When traveling towards Brownsville Texas the yellow triangle will always be found on the right side of the waterway and the yellow square on the left side of the waterway regardless of daymark or buoy shape or color.

In many places on the ICW secondary navigable channels join and leave the ICW, many times in directions that can be confusing as to which channel the ICW follows.  If you see the markers after such a junction no longer have the yellow marks you know you have left the ICW and need to turn around.  There are also many places where you can join the ICW that may not be intuitive as to which direction is Southbound (towards Brownsville Texas) or Northbound (towards Norfolk VA) on the ICW.  Knowing which direction you need to travel on the ICW the yellow markers are your key with yellow triangles kept to the right indicating southbound travel towards Brownsville Texas and Yellow Triangles to the left indicating travel towards Norfolk VA.  The only part of the ICW where this gets a bit confusing is on the Florida West Coast where you are traveling North to go South to Brownsville and on the Gulf Coast you are traveling West to continue South.  No need to get confused just remember that any travel towards Brownsville is considered Southbound on the ICW.

In this instance traveling south along the Alligator River-Pungo River Canal you were on the ICW.  As you passed under the bridge in Hoboken North Carolina you entered a waterway, the Pungo River, that is navigable from the ocean.  When the ICW coincides with a waterway that is navigable from the ocean the markers and buoys on the ocean accessible waterway take precedence.  Therefore, the markers here switched from Red on the right to Green on the right

However, the yellow marks, triangles and squares, that indicate you are on the ICW and which direction you are traveling on the ICW hold their position from Norfolk to Brownsville regardless of the color or shape of the mark they are on.  When you passed southbound under the Hoboken Bridge the buoy colors switched sides but the yellow triangles remained on the right (now on a green mark) and the yellow squares remained on the left (now on a red mark) indicating that you are still southbound on the ICW.
