There are basically four different types of buoys we might encounter in US waters: Red, green, red and green horizontally striped, and red and white vertically striped. We will talk about special buoys further below. Each one may or may not have a light. The light color will be green, red, or white. Lights are often used where greater caution must be exercised such as a bend or narrowing of a channel. Also, especially in areas where fog may exist, some buoys make sounds such as a whistle, bell, or gong. Green and red buoys.
Thus, if we insert another word in the phrase, as in Red, Religious, Right, Returning, the word religious explains the shape of the buoy. Religious can be used to remember a nun buoy which is cone shaped on top, red in color, and marks the channel on the right when proceeding inland from sea.
