I remember being young taking my boaters safety course and having to take this section over three times. Why does left and right stop existing once you are on a floating pos?
Because left and right can be interpreted as direction from your point of view. Port and starboard are always understood as left and right of the vessel you are currently in.
In performance arts, stage left and stage right perform the same function as well. “Stage” directions are always from the perspective of a performer, so that referring to right/left is absolute.
