"Can" buoys are navigational aids. they are black / green and have a flat top. They represent the right side (starboard side) of the navigational waterway when heading north or east. The left side of the waterway (port side) is designated by a red buoy with a pointed top. It is referred to as a "nun buoy" as opposed to "can buoy."
In Region A it is a starboard hand buoy, in Region B it is a port hand buoy. These are lateral marks and in some areas the shape of the buoy cannot be relied upon.
The green buoy should be on the left (port) side of the boat as you are entering port.
Always kept on the port side
Keep the buoy on your port (left) side.
I think you should----Keep the buoy on your port (left) side.
This street map is a very handy navigational aid. This channel buoy is the navigational aid that saved my life!
