I often do it even though I usually already know before doing it. It just feels like a habit/sanity check.

    The red party is further left than the green party. Starboard has two “r” as opposed to only one in port, which means it’s right. I’ve been sailing all kinds of stuff, and only just recently learned that starboard/port is defined as in the direction of the boat, while left/right is in the direction you are looking. Makes a lot of sense in hindsight…
