Good. Nutin new for me to get my rudimentary brain stem around!

Odd how many questions were related to the colour schemes of cardinal marks... something that I have never bothered to memorize. I identify them by their topmarks, which are usually more distinct to me.

But really... a pretty trivial quiz IMO.

The colour schemes actually mimic the topmarks, where yellow indicates the base of the triangles and black indicates the point of the triangles. so if you know one, you know the other.

Never mind. I found it. Pretty obscure.

Yes. Wasn't in any of my USA material. Is it strictly international regions "A"?

Well, I'll be damned! I never noticed that, Stu, so thank you very much for pointing (ho,ho) it out.

How many other old farts didn't know what a temporary wreck marker was?

Agree Jim..... Also I never understood why they called them " Navigational Buoys"...... You can't navigate by them?
