Well, looking at that list, I think I finally understand.

Let me see if I've gotten this correctly:

The "front" of an island is the side that faces the Devil's Anvil, and likely to be the point you would sail towards if you were sailing to another island from DA; the "back" of an island, then, is just the opposite side of the island?

"Left/right" assumes that your ship is facing toward the "front" point of a given island; so, if you were sailing away from that same island, then you'd want to reverse "lefts/rights?"

I don't have any trouble finding the ships, but I've had a terrible time dealing with non-specific directions. If these seem to hold up pretty well, when compared to how other people give directions, then this will make a lot easier for me to respond to people's given directions better within the game.
