Greg,
You may want to pick yourself up a copy of Chapman Piloting,
Seamanship, and Small Boat Handling. You can find it in bookstores and
marine stores. You may also want to contact your local U.S. Coast
Guard Auxiliary flotilla, or your local United States Power and Sail
Squadron. Both these organizations offer public safe boating classes
that cover the Inland Navigation Rules. The classes are well worth the
time.

With the acquisition of my first "yacht" (a 25 footer) this week, I've been
on a learning curve. Given this, is there a site which explains, in
layman's terms, the meaning of various buoys. I'm still struggling with
"right of red returning from sea," especially when I see a green river buoy.
