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

Puleeeze..... attend a USPS school or the like.



Puleeeze?? Do you really talk like that? Anyway, if you read his
question, he asked for an "easy trick, or rule of thumb", I think I
gave the best answer to "his" question so far. And as far a a USPS
school, I am somewhat confused. But I have taken my required boaing
courses, and have completed all the requirements for my operators
licence, in fact I aced the test. If you have more training, or don't
consider my states requirements good enough, change the law, God bless
you, I boat in the river and local lakes, I have most of the
information I need, nobody knows everything.

Now you have agitated me, I wipe out your sig file sir, and I usually
leave it
