I am new to boating and I always get confused with portside and
starboard or the red and green nav lights position and direction.
Is there an easy trick or rule of thumb one can use to always remember
these ?

Thanks for the help

Port has less letters than starboard, left has less letters than
right. Port is left, right starboard.

If you are traveling in a river and looking at the bouys to stay in
the lane, remember to keep the Red bouys, on the right side of your
boat, while returning up river. So remember red, right, return... HTH
