Turn to port or staraboard?
 

Booby swears this is a turn to starboard:

I say it's a turn to port from the wake and he's trying to cover his
silly mistake not knowing port from starboard (as a lubber he thinks
starboard is always on his right hand no matter what direction he's
looking). I also say I've hooked a BIG one that doesn't know it's beaten!

Yup, look at the wave action (wake confuses you!) on the starboard side). It
shows this quite clearly. A turn to port would put the sun astern, ruining it.
The aft wake shows a gradual push upwind, but here's altered for the pic.
Even when it's explained he can't fathom it! But he knows how sails "behave!"

Nope. Not what you said. You can't read any better than you can sail!

Bwahahahaha! Fish/barrel/shot!

I see you've lost your argument but still claim a victory? A childish
game. You used to do better. Here's the picture you took first:

Look at her hand on the wheel, the head sail set and the wake and tell
me you turned to starboard in

I just landed a whale!

Bwhahhahahahaha

Bwaahahahahahha! You just can't read. We turned to starboard for the pic, not
over the previous 1/2 hour! We also went to port many times the day before!
You are really shoveling it now! Don't worry, I got my boots!
