Avast behind...

Larboard is another term for Port I believe, but fell into misuse due to similarity to starboard. Think it was originally "leeboard" or somesuch when a board on the port side was used in place of a deep keel.

Port Out, Starboard Home, POSH with a capital P. Preferred berths to keep cool when heading asia-wards...
