Navigation Aids (are for the Birds??)

Note the small yellow square on the green that tells you that you are on the ICW (intrecostal waterway)

Navigation aids come in red or green and we must stay inbetween them or we go aground. To "go aground" is to get  stuck in  water too shallow, with the boat on the bottom.  There are two kinds of "true boaters",  Those who have gone aground and those who will sometime go aground.  But it seems another reason for the aids is to help our feathered friends with resting sites.  The green are square and the red are triangular.  If you look closely the small yellow triangle on the red is something you see on the ICW (intracoatal waterway) and on this waterway the small yellow mark over rules the whole messague.  Soooo if a red triangle has a square yellow mark on it , it's really a green square for the ICW but a red triangle for some other route like the inlet from the ocean at Panama city Fla.
