Hi grandma Rosalie -- always enjoy reading your posts. In this case, I
believe you've erred in your comment on mine.

You will find ICW yellow triangles on green square daymarks, buoys and
navaids with green lights. Similarly, you will yellow squares on red
triangular daymarks, buoys and navaids with with red lights.
This arises where ICW joins or crosses another waterway where that waterway
already had navaids in place when the ICW was constructed. Rather than add
more marks to identify the ICW, the yellow reflective decals were added to
existing navaids. Each such navaid thus serves a dual purpose.

The mariner transiting the ICW, and wishing to avoid possible confusion,
should be guided by the the yellow triangles and squares, and ignore the
colors and shapes of the navaids on which they appear.

C'mon now, admit your error.

You were OK up to here. Yellow triangles are on the inland side and
yellow squares are on the sea side. Starboard only if going south
from Nofolk.

symbols: Triangles indicate aids should be passed by keeping them on your
starboard side. Squares indicate aids should be passed by keeping them on
your port side. A yellow horizontal band provides no lateral information;
it
just signifies that the aid marks the ICW.

Always consult a chart if you are transiting unfamiliar waters.
