It's obviously another issue with the difference in how we do things from Europe/Asia to the America's. I was not aware that Europe used the opposite channel marking format. I just assumed (

) that everyone did this the same way. I would have thought that something like this would be
standard all over the World? I mean, pick any one and make it worldwide. Why would we introduce this possible confusion to maritime shipping? If there is one area that I always thought should be "universal" in it's rules, it was this. I was obviously wrong.
