Rosalie -- I misread your comment. You are right. Sorry about that. Anyway,
I think my further expanation might help the original poster. Len -- Eliminate "ns" for email address. "Len Krauss" wrote in message ... 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. Len -- Eliminate "ns" for email address. "Rosalie B." wrote in message ... "Len Krauss" wrote: The greens are between the sea and thee transiting the ICW. Reds are inland side. However, at channel intersections and, more importantly, where local and ICW are one in the same, the local marks will usually take precedence, but ICW marks may be there too. So, it can get confusing. There may also be an ICW preferred and secondary channel. ICW aids have small yellow decal 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. grandma Rosalie |
