Without a chart, you won't know if you should be looking for a second or third buoy in the area. For example, there are three black tops north of Eagle Island. If see two and go north of the second one, you could be in trouble. You need the chart so that you will look for the third buoy, even though you may have been right to go north of the other black buoy(s).
