I'm not new to boating but I still am getting confused by the Red and Green buoy's in some places. RRR Red to the Right Returning (to port from seaward). This weekend I was boating in the Captree area Suffolk County, New York and launched from the ramp at Captree and headed for "The Sore Thumb" at Oak Beach.<br />I have a GPS Chartplotter and my chartplotter shows the buoy colors contrary to the actual buoys in some cases.<br />My reasoning is that since Captree is inland of the Fire Island Inlet, that heading from Captree toward the inlet, the GREEN buoys should be on my Right side (I'm heading out to sea).<br />Will anyone explain where my logic is fouled?<br />Thank you,<br />Nick
