Clock direction
From KayakWiki
Many people use a clock analogy to specify directions.
- 12 o'clock is directly ahead
- 6 o'clock is directly astern.
- 3 o'clock is on the starboard beam
- 9 o'clock is on the port beam.
Other times are interpolated between these positions - for example, 2 o'clock is 30 degrees forward of the starboard beam and 7 o'clock is 30 degrees to the port side of the stern. 7:30 would be the port quarter.
