Q

Under the U.S. Aids to Navigation System on the Western Rivers, a daymark on the right descending bank will __________.

🔍 Key Concepts

• Western Rivers Aids to Navigation System and how it differs from standard IALA "Red Right Returning" • Meaning of right descending bank (which way are you facing? which way is the current flowing?) • Color and numbering (odd vs even) of lateral marks on each side of the river

💭 Think About

• First, picture yourself looking downstream with the current. Which bank is the right descending bank in that view? • In the Western Rivers system, which color aids and which numbers (odd or even) are associated with that side of the river? • Which option in the choices clearly belongs to a different system or purpose, such as Intracoastal Waterway markings or water level indicators, rather than basic lateral daymarks?

✅ Before You Answer

• Be sure you know that right descending bank = right side when going downstream (with the current) • Confirm from your notes which side (right or left) gets odd vs even numbers in the Western Rivers lateral system • Verify which markings (like yellow retroreflective panels) are tied to the Intracoastal Waterway, not specifically to Western Rivers right-bank daymarks
