No. Port and starboard is fixed. It's part of the
boat. That's why there's a green light on the starboard side
and a red light on the port side. You have a right hand
and you have a left hand. If you walk backwards your right
hand is still your right hand and your left hand is still
your left hand.


You've never seen those ferries that go back and forth
without turning around?
