When leaving a bay and heading into open water, green buoys (odd numbers) should be on your starboard (right) side. This is the opposite of when entering a port from the open sea, when red buoys (even numbers) should be on your starboard side. The phrase "red, right, returning" can help you remember this. The lower the number, the nearer the open water is. So, for instance, if the first marker buoy that you encounter has a 44 on it, you should see numbers decreasing until you enter open water. The green marker buoys should always have odd numbers on them and the red ones should have even numbers on them.
