I guess the 'front' is when I'm sailing to PR from Toug / Devils and I'm looking at the 'front' of the Island (the right would lead to cuba, then left would lead to Padres). So for the most part - yes, it is when I am sailing "to" a location, and the Right/ Left reference would be to it - if saling "FORM" a location - reverse the Right Left
Should I get enough time, maybe I'll do it by compass... but I got a lot on the go now so for now, try to picture it
