Hi all,

I am perusing the "Greek waters pilot" by Rod Heikell in
preparation for a possible cruise in the Aegean. The maps of
the harbors' entrances show a Green buoy on starboard and Red
buoy to port.

Is "Green Right Returning" the Med-equivalent of "Red Right
Returning" on this side of the pond?

Most of the world outside North and South America "return to sea",
while we in the Americas "return to harbour".


E-references for navigational rules in the Med anybody?

Thanks
Roberto

Look for information on the IALA (International Association of
Lighthouse Authorities) Area A and Area B buoyage systems. (Their
motto: If one international standard is good, two must be better! :-)
