River marker review

ET · 04-16-2002, 07:52 PM

Went out on the Columbia last weekend and realized that I need some navigation aid review. I remember keep "red on the right" and I believe that is when approaching shore or going upriver. Where is a good website to educate myself?

ET,

Take the on line boating course at boatus.com .
In Oregon everyone is going to have to take a test to get a safety card in the next few years.
I found out I didn't know as much as I thought I did.
