bear left
Curve toward port
Bear left is a directional instruction meaning to veer or curve gently to the left without making a sharp turn.
Common in driving directions and trail navigation: Bear left at the fork.
The phrase implies a gradual shift rather than a full turn—you stay roughly on course while favoring the left path.
