Port wine is red.

Today's nautical term is:PORT. One definition is another name for a harbor. However,the most common definition is the left side of a boat looking forward. Now let me explain the title of this blog. Every power driven boat is required to have red and green navigation lights on the front of the boat. The red light is on the port or left side of the boat. Therefore if you can remember that "port wine is red", then you can remember that the red light is on the port side of the boat. Now you will always know which side is port.
