T&T: IALA Buoys Region A & B

[Rock Bradford]

we were just there in may, '07, and i can assure you red is to the right
coming into st george.  entering almost anywhere for the first time requires
caution and, yes, you are supposed to call bermuda harbor control upon
arrival for clearance entering st george.  it's a tight squeeze entering if
you find yourself sharing the space with a cruise ship.
