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
I remember it as the opposite of the "Red, Right Returning" Bouy
system.
Mark E. Williams.
Sounds stupid but that's how I remember it.
Everyone learns Red Right Returning.

Like I said, on the boat I use the letters method

left, port, red all have less letters than right, starboard, green,

But I think it was WB? that noted the colored tape method, I plan to
do that too near the bow with tape or paint, maybe even on the center
thwart. A stupid word by the way. Why can't I say seat? Cause it's not
a seat kid. Justwaitafrekinminute here

But what do you call it if it is not running athwart? :}
