🔍 Key Concepts

• IALA Region B lateral system in the U.S. and Great Lakes ("red right returning") • Meaning of "returning from seaward" and the conventional direction of buoyage on the Great Lakes • Who maintains aids to navigation on the Great Lakes and what is included in the U.S. Great Lakes Light List

💭 Think About

• Think about whether you are considered to be going toward seaward or away from seaward when you come out of the Welland Canal into Lake Erie and proceed southwest across the lake. • Ask yourself: in IALA Region B, on which side should you normally keep red, even‑numbered buoys when you are moving in the conventional direction of buoyage? • Consider whether Canadian aids on the Great Lakes are excluded from U.S. publications, or whether binational waters are usually covered together for navigation purposes.

✅ Before You Answer

• Verify how the conventional direction of buoyage is defined for the Great Lakes when transiting Lake Erie southwestward from the Welland Canal. • Confirm where red, even‑numbered buoys belong relative to your vessel when you are "returning from seaward" in Region B. • Check whether the Great Lakes Light List includes both U.S. and Canadian lighted aids and signals, and whether all aids on that route could realistically be maintained only by the U.S. Coast Guard.
