Yes that's confusing in the UK, when I go canoeing on the Caledonian
canal, boats coming the other way try to pass me on the right, but since
I'm in the UK, I keep thinking it's left. I usually just wait to see
which way they go.

I believe oncoming boats pass portside to portside universally. That's
the left side when you're facing the pointy end.

Only if you're on the boat. If you're looking at the other boat its the
right side.


Were you driving the Andrea Doria?

The Swedish should have known better, the Italians always have right of way.

The Brits should have known better. Icebergs always have the right of
way.
