Lateral Aids to Navigation generally indicate which side of an aid to navigation a vessel
should pass when channels are entered from seaward. In the
absence of a route leading from seaward, the conventional
direction of buoyage, generally follows a clockwise direction
around landmasses.
The most important characteristic of an
aid is its color. The "3R" rule "Red Right
Returning" is the essential rule of thumb for using the
lateral system. This means that when entering one body of
water from a larger body of water (i.e. returning to a harbor
from a bay or sound), keep the red aids to starboard (right)
side and green aids to port (left) side. In addition, each
aid is numbered, and these numbers increase as entering from
seaward. "
Was how I learned it....
Red on Right when Returning...... if you have Both red and green, green on right when leaving Port. ( Green means GO,,,,, Red means STOP..... Green on Right when GOING out..... Red on Right When COMING home.)
