Which side of the ship is which?

There's an easier way without having to write on your hands. Put both hands up, palms facing each other. Touch your thumb to the other 4 fingers, like making a "0." Your left hand, along with your wrist, makes a "P." Your right hand would be a backwards "P." P = Port.

 

Paul, that is brilliant. I knew a Coastie would have a clever answer! :D;)

The easy way is - port and left both have four letters.
