Two column layout. Scrolling anywhere on the page should scroll the right column

I have a two column website, however the user must focus in on the right column to scroll the main content. If the user is focused on the left-hand link bar nothing happens. I tried coding a script that will scroll the right column no matter where the user's mouse is. It does not feel natural and barely scrolls.

Here is my attempt: https://jsfiddle.net/knfg9Lqp/4/

Here is my website(scroll only works on right div): maxmastalerz.com

How could I go about making it non-laggy and fluid with the right amount of scroll?

I could probably use a plugin, however I'm leaning away from that idea.

$(document).bind('mousewheel', function(e){
    var delta = (e.originalEvent.wheelDelta/120)*3;
    var y = $('#right').scrollTop();  //your current y position on the page
    $('#right').scrollTop(y-delta);
});
#left {
  background-color: gray;
  float: left;
  width: 30%;
  height: 150px;
}
#right {
  background-color: aqua;
  float: left;
  width: 70%;
  height: 150px;
  overflow-y: scroll;
}
<script src="https://code.jquery.com/jquery-2.2.4.min.js"></script>
<div id="left">
  <a href="/one">Link 1</a>
  <a href="/two">Link 2</a>
  <a href="/three">Link 3</a>
</div>

<div id="right">

</div>


TRY SCROLLING UP AND DOWN USING YOUR MOUSEWHEEL OR TOUCHPAD

Why are you dividing and multiplying? If you simply use var delta = e.originalEvent.wheelDelta; the scrolling looks right
