    Port and starboard are easy enough in a powerboat (of the type I am familiar with). Tie up port side, sit on starboard (steer board) side to steer.

    But what is most fun is remembering what direction in a channel one is travelling in an area where the channels merge.

    Right, all these people with mnemonics and whatnot to remember port and starboard; I just remember that port is on the port side when you dock.

    Perhaps for Americans it's harder, seeing as they park on the wrong side of the road.

      Have you seen the Nathan Fielder special The Rehearsal up on HBO? It's specifically about pilots and how to potentially reduce airplane crashes

      I taught flight school at a busy uncontrolled airport for 2 years.

        Search images for "port"

        Literally every single photo is of a ship docked starboard

          I think it gives character, which is in opposition to the 'black and white mono spaced thing' above it making the joke even funnier

            it makes me a little irrationaly upset that we have left and right, both one syllable words

            but the naval version of left and right, is a one syllable Port, and a two syllable Starboard

            Well consider you're on the deck in the open air during a storm, waves crashing everywhere, people yelling, you can barely hear anything.

            Do you want to keep asking them to repeat which way to turn because you can't hear? Or do you wanna know short word/one noise = right and long word/two noises = left?

              104 comments on how to memorize starboard and port as right and left.

              I have an even better way to know : Just fucking remember it.

              It's not that difficult.

                  Ah I was just wondering your thoughts on it if you had seen it. Basically he posits that most accidents are due to bad communication in the cockpit and he's exploring at how to better train pilots to communicate

                    Cockpit Resource Management is a crucial skill for the modern flight crew, especially during higher workload phases of flight. At one point they called it "Crew Resource Management" but altered the branding when they started applying it to single-pilot operations as well. It's not only effective communication with other members of your crew but other aircraft and air traffic control as well.

                      You should check it out, it's ostensibly a comedy show but it's much more....I dunno, human experience exploration? He's got a bunch of reenactments of actual final logs from downed flights and the conversations recovered from the black box. Crazy what some of the pilots say
