To remember that port is red and to the left (and that starboard is green and to the right):
* "There is some red port left in the bottle"
* Or remember that it used to be starboard and larboard--L for left--so starboard is right and port is left
* Or remember that port and left each have four letters.
* Colors and directions: The short words, left, port and red go together and the long words right, starboard and green go together.
