What use to be fairly common you don't hear any more.They use to use "lines"to describe areas more than lat long. Before gps we all used Loran C.
Some words are more local I think.Most people would not know the meaning
of"poruagi" but if you went to seiner row in Pedro they would all know.
No doors on a vessel.They are hatches.But there are "doors" on a trawler.

I tried using Port and Starboard with my wife in our skiff. It was hopeless, so I started saying Left instead of Port, then I would say, "no your
other left!

After taking 100's of folks out and doing SAR..The First thing when guest step onboard,,I show them port,,starboard..forward and aft.....and make
sure,,,, twice,, that if they are more foreward than me and see something,,I twice,, tell them to point out the object,,not tell me which/what way to
change course..(very Important) Then I show the smartest/oldest how to start the motors and use the VHF on 16/13/22A.....any questions?..PS,,COLREGS
& SOLAS are not uniform..outside the usa,,Canada,mex.......there are many places where red right return DO not apply.......check CFR'S 33,32,,46

Panga is the name used for a style of wooden boat used a lot in the past in Mexican waters. They have almost all been replaced by the same style but
in fiberglass. Mexicans (fishermen, boatowners) rightly call these launches. (Lanches in Spanish) Those who own/drive them are called lancheros. It's
a regional thing -- you hear one thing in one port town, another in the next.
P.S. Smart charter captains with competition for jumping bills and other surface feeders don't want clients pointing at the action -- they say "Just
tell me where you see it --- don't point or all the other cruisers will get there first."

When does a boat become a ship? And is everything that floats a vessel?

Double Carrick Bend, actually. The basis for the boy scout neckerchief knot.

Looks like we have all entered an area described as "From dead ahead to two points abaft the starboard beam."
A shout-out to the first to describe in ordinary English.

However, THREE lefts do make a right. (draw it)
