Know your channel markers!
Or . . . .

One of these could be you and YOU could end up on my website! LOL!







Question:
Please match the marker with its description.
Please note though. I have provided 5 descriptions and only 4 markers.
This is intentional to avoid the ole' process of elimination! LOL!


1)Day Marker with no lateral significace just to help you locate tour position
2)Prefered Channel Marker
3)Safe Water Marker
4)Center Channel Marker
5) Special Purpose Marker with a wide range of uses , including but not limited to things such as dredging, fish trap areas, spoils areas or military exercises.

Lastly,
For those looking for extra credit,
The "Safe water marker" is actually the "Center Channel Marker"

So when I said I put 4 pictures and 5 definitions two of the definitions defined the SAME marker! LOL!
