I do have a GPS and use it for MPH check. The GPS is way more accurate than the mechanical speedometer on the boat. With the new 6 mph headway speed law, my wake is pretty big! Oh well, the law is the law!

Hummmm,,,, Well I got this from the Marine Patrol folks and it stuck with me:
Regarding Markers; Red is Hot, in the US its hot in the South and/or West
And if you only remember that, then you can deduce that the other marker color is Black and its opposite so then Black must be North and/or East.
I have never forgotten it once I herd that.
Yup its simple/stupid, but it works for me
