🔍 Key Concepts

• Meaning of lettered buoys like “CBJ” in the U.S. Aids to Navigation System • Difference between lateral marks and non-lateral marks in the IALA/B U.S. system • Characteristics and purpose of a safe water mark vs a preferred channel mark

💭 Think About

• Think about what the combination of letters only (no numbers) on a buoy usually tells you about the type of aid it is • Ask yourself whether “CBJ” sounds like it is marking a specific side of a channel, the middle of safe water, or something else such as a junction or obstruction • Consider whether the buoy’s color pattern and shape (if you remember it from charts or light lists) would indicate lateral significance or not

✅ Before You Answer

• Verify whether safe water marks normally use a name/letter group like “CBJ” or a number/letter designation • Check if preferred channel marks are always shown with a combination of colors (red/green) and how they are lettered/numbered • Confirm whether a buoy labeled only with letters is normally treated as a lateral or non-lateral aid in the U.S. system
