When approaching a mooring buoy, first slow down and assess the area for potential hazards. Position your vessel so that you can approach the buoy from the downwind or downcurrent side to maintain control. Use fenders to protect your boat and prepare your mooring lines for a quick attachment. Once close enough, secure the lines to the buoy cleats or rings before ensuring your vessel is stable and properly moored.

When you see a green lighted buoy with the number 3, it indicates a safe navigational mark. This buoy typically marks the right side of a channel when returning from open sea, so you should keep it on your starboard (right) side as you navigate. Ensure you maintain a safe distance from the buoy and monitor your surroundings for other vessels and navigational hazards.
Keeping it on your port, passing it to starboard, will prevent your running aground.
