When navigating a narrow channel, it's typically safest to stay on the starboard (right) side of the channel. This practice aligns with the "Rules of the Road," which suggest keeping to the right to avoid collisions with oncoming vessels. Additionally, be mindful of any local navigation signs or markers that may indicate specific traffic patterns for that channel. Always maintain a safe speed and be alert for other boats and obstacles.
