If it's not, then stop and consult your chart or GPS. And if someone doesn't have a chart or GPS or compass, nor know what side of the buoy to go on, then they probably shouldn't be out driving the boat.

No disagreement there.
If you had never been to the lake, and I showed you The Witches and all the buoys around them, you wouldn't believe it if I told you countless boaters have hit them.
