Oh definitely starboard - one gets less spray from the starboard side. Port side travellers invariably find their balcony glass doors covered
with salt from the overnight winds. Starboard folk do not incur this problem. Definitely starboard...It has something to do with the rotation of the earth creating clockwise ocean currents, therefore the winds strike the vessel on the port side, etc...but make it starboard-less hassle and more visibility
