When returning to port form seaward and you see a red buoy how should you respond?

When returning to port from seaward and you see a red buoy, you should keep the buoy on your starboard (right) side. This indicates that you are approaching a navigational channel, and the buoy typically marks the edge of safe water. Always follow the lateral marking system, which indicates the direction of safe passage. If you are unsure, consult your nautical charts or navigation systems for guidance.
