Definition
A fairway or mid-channel buoy is a safe water mark, red and white vertically striped, showing a white isophase, occulting, long flash 10s or Morse A light. Deep water exists on both sides, but the ordinary rule of the road still applies: in a narrow channel a vessel keeps to the starboard side of the fairway, so the buoy is normally left to port in Region A and Region B alike when inbound.
