Nautical Terminology

This is one of those things that I know I should know, but sometimes get confused about. So just in case I am not the only one that gets port and starboard mixed up, here is a reminder...

Bow - The front or pointy end of the boat.

Stern - The back or blunt end of the boat.

Port side - The left hand side of the boat when you are in the boat facing forward.

Starboard side - The right hand side of the boat when you are in the boat facing forward.
