On a recent outing on the Myakka river in Florida, I came across two navigation markers I hadn't seen before. One was an octagon painted white on the left side and red on the right with the letter "A" on it. I looked it up and found that it was a type MR, indicating safe water but there was no explanation of what MR means, why it was octagonal and why the colors were left-right instead of up-down. I assume the letter "A" is an alternative to 1,2,3... etc. but there was no "B" or other lettered markers around. The other marker was a square with red on the bottom and white on the top with the letter "A" on it. I couldn't find anything on that one at all.
Anyone know what these are and why they are shaped and colored as they are?
