Himself  (PS, not that this will help, <GGG> but: although
'red,right,returning' is correct for channel markers (headed in or up stream
red is on the right) on ALL water and aircraft, of any size, red is left is
port and never changes. therefore the side of a river, canyon, highway,
mountian range, path or air corridor you are TALKING about changes with your
direction of travel. (i.e. if going north, left is west, if going south left
is east.) but, if you need to communicate that info to somebody else, then a
compass direction is in order i.e. the EAST SIDE OF THE RIVER), something the
NEVER changes, no matter which way you may be headed.
