This is a requirment in Md for anyone born after I think it's 1972.

Sorry I didn't see that someone had already pointed that out.

I know that not everyone takes it but the way DNR and Coast Guard have been stopping people lately they will probably get caught sooner or later.

PLEASE take the course!!! I took the U. S. Power Squadrons Advanced Navigation and Safety course years ago. I wish they'd get rid of the "born before '72" requirement.

Dems just so you'll know; The red triangles are always even numbers and you should keep these to your right (starboard) when returning from the bay (Red Right Returning) The green squares are always odd numbers and are kept to your port (left) when returning. Same applies to the flashing lights at night. If it's red, treat it as a red marker & keep it to your right when returning.

I also use GPS and mark every day marker, can, net (anything fixed in the water) so I can avoid it at night.

P.S. Thank you Kwillia!!

P.S.S The Coast Guard and DNR Police are checking people a LOT more than I have ever seen them do so in the past.

I'm aware of that rule of thumb when it comes to colors of signs and what side to pass on (port or starboard) , I learned this because I had an interest once in getting a full-fledged captain's license and still toy with the idea and have a study manual for all rules for national and even international waters that I look through occassional and it has a 500 question exam on CD Rom.
