OT: Left hand down?
Why do people say left hand down instead of left? We all know which way to turn the wheel to make the car go left, and it's the same in reverse. And if I'm reversing looking over my shoulder, one hand isn't on the wheel so the phrase makes no sense!

Why on earth would you think it was guider's left? If you're helping someone move a car, it's obviously the car you're thinking about! |

Unless the person operating the boat didn't know how to steer a boat, you're just telling them to move the boat left. |
