In North America, as you sail away from the continent in a channel, the standard way to mark channels is with green markers on the right and red markers on your left. It seems to be an Old World/New World difference, with completely backwards senses relative to each other. O.o
At least aviation is standardized worldwide, and uses red right returning for running lights. (The right wingtip has a green light and the left one has a red light, so if you see a plane that appears to have a red light right of a green one, it's "returning" to you.)
