1) "Even Red Nuns have Odd Black Cans." Nun buoys are painted red and have even numbers. Can buoys are painted black and odd numbers. The same color and numbering scheme applies to fixed channel markers.
2) "The best people on Earth leave black port on entering." You should leave black markers to port and red markers to starboard when entering harbor.

Ok, Even numbered Red Nun buoys to starboard when entering the harbor...
Sooo... Keep the Black nun on a can to port when returning to harbor ( (Low wake area and wave to her as we pass by??)
So...Portside buoys only? :)
