🔍 Key Concepts

• IALA-B lateral buoyage system used in U.S. waters ("red right returning") • Geographic area in question: Lake Michigan via the Straits of Mackinac to Chicago – whose jurisdiction and service applies here? • Meaning of solid-colored lateral buoys vs. special-purpose or danger buoys

💭 Think About

• Think about whether you are in purely U.S. waters or shared U.S./Canadian waters on this route, and who normally maintains the aids there. • Recall the basic rule for red and green lateral buoys in IALA-B when proceeding in the conventional direction of buoyage (returning from sea or heading into a port). Which side should red buoys be on? • Consider which colors/shapes are normally used to mark isolated dangers or wrecks, and whether those are passed on a specific side, rather than all green buoys.

✅ Before You Answer

• Verify how red and green buoy numbering works in the U.S. (odd vs. even) and whether "all solid colored buoys" would correctly describe the system. • Check whether green buoys are normally used to mark wrecks/obstructions, or if another marking system is standard for dangers. • Confirm whether aids on Lake Michigan (on this route) are maintained jointly with Canada or solely by one nation’s Coast Guard.

Question 1 of 20

All solid colored buoys are numbered, the red buoys bearing odd numbers and green buoys bearing even numbers.

Green buoys mark the location of wrecks or obstructions which must be passed by keeping the buoy on the right hand.

Aids to navigation are serviced jointly by the U.S. and Canadian Coast Guard.

Red buoys should be passed down your starboard side.
