The default manoeuvre is to steer starboard (right)which will take you behind the other boats direction of travel.(The starboard (right) side light is green.)

What do red and green lights on a boat mean?
The red and green lights on a boat are side lights and assist in determining the direction the boat is facing. Red lights are on the port, or left side, while green lights are on the starboard, or right side. If you see only one side light, you are looking at that side of the boat. If you see both lights at the same time, that means that the boat is either headed towards you or away from you. If the red light is to the right, the boat is coming towards you (Red-Right-Returning). If the green light is to the right, the boat is going away from you.

A white light used by itself which can be seen in all directions is the anchor light, which means you are anchored. A white used in conjunction with bow lights (green and red) are your navigation lights. The white light indicates your stern ( back of boat). If all you can see is the white light, a boat is either anchored or underway going away from you.
