Vampire Parrot Posted January 13, 2011 #4 Share Posted January 13, 2011 Just remember: that after a cruise - There is never any Port wine Left! (because it's all been drunk) It's also useful for sailors to help them remember that the port running light is red, the starboard running light is green. I like drinking red Port.

mr green Posted January 13, 2011 #5 Share Posted January 13, 2011 Port has four letters, so does left.:) There was a story some years ago about a captain, who, each time that he went to the bridge, he would unlock his private draw, glance at it, and then re lock it. One fateful day he neglected to re lock the draw, so the next officer of the watch peeked inside. Taped to the bottom was a piece of paper reading 'Port Left, Starboard Right'. john Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
