port sode
turn around
You MAY pass on either side of the marker
Keep a green lateral marker to your left, or port, side when proceeding in the upstream.
If you are traveling upstream, keep the green buoy on your starboard (right) side. This helps to ensure safe navigation and to follow the correct flow of boat traffic.
Right (starboard side)
Water always flows down a river, so upstream is the opposite direction from the direction in which the water flows.
Upstream is where the flow is coming FROM . -Downstream is the direction it is going to.
Welll lol
Left (Port) side
If you are traveling upstream on a river and see a red triangular daymark, you should pass this marker on the left side.
