When returning from sea, a red navigation buoy should be passed on your port side (left side when facing forward). This is in accordance with the IALA buoyage system, which designates red buoys as indicating the edge of a safe channel on the starboard side when entering from the sea. Always ensure to follow local regulations and navigational guidelines as well.
