Intra-coastal waterway navigation
Recently visited the Keys via boat. While navigating the Intra-coastal
I notice that the green-red channel markers were backwards from all my other boating experience(inland). Does anyone know the logic behind this or can tell me where I went wrong in my thinking? Scott |

From: "Rick & Linda Bernard" Red-Right-Returning. In the ICW your home is Seattle. I find it's easier for people to remember that red is always on the main land side of the ICW going up and down the coast. Capt. Bill |

Intra-coastal waterway navigation
The: East Coast; North to South, East to West. Gulf Coast; South to
North, East to West. West Coast: South to North, West to East, i.e., clockwise around the country, are BROAD generalizations. Everyone can nitpick and say "well, whatabouthere?". Without a chart of the particular area, to see how the particular channel relates to those nearby, it's hard to give specifics. Another generalization: For channels beginning at sea, start at the most seaward buoy and it will be "RRR". For the Intracoastal, start in Maine, and as you head for Brownsville,Tx, it will be "RRR". Most importantly, forget these "generalizations", and check your chart, cause them "generalizations" can put your butt aground. otn Sandra wrote: (Florida Keyz) wrote in message ... red right rising is a better method I appreciate everyone's response. I am still not getting it into my head properly. I know how it is and can navigate the ICW fine I am just wanting to understand the methodology. define rising... Also, in an earlier message someone said Seattle is your home in the ICW. I lived in CA and never saw an ICW. Thanks again for everyone's help. Scott |
