**** Correct!  But in describing the MC, I used the view when looking at it
when working . . the right side.
Now we see why the nautical terminology is so useful.  :-)

To further refine what "port" means . . .its the left side when looking
forward . . . but its the right side when looking aft.
"Starboard" is defined as the right side when looking forward.
And of course, there is fore and aft . . .but we know what that means.
