The rule of thumb I was taught to remember which way to go when coming up on red top buoys is to think (red) is "HOT", and it's always "hot" in the south and (south)west of the US, so you always want to stay south and/or west of red top buoys. Black is simply the opposite, north and/or east. All you have to remember is that red is hot, and where is it always hot in the US? South and (south)West.
