    You can get red filter tape at the auto supply store, intended to patch broken taillight plastic.
    It works well to convert white to red for night vision, especiialy when the red bulbs are no longer available.
    I've used it on several boats.

    Murray Buckman you wrote: Re red light over the navigation table at night: if the red bulb blows and you only have a white bulb as a replacement, don't bother painting it with the significant other's red nail polish as a field expedient.  It doesn't work.  Don't ask me how I know.

    What is NavList?

    NavList is a community devoted to the preservation and practice of celestial navigation and other methods of traditional position-finding. We're a group of navigators, navigation enthusiasts and hobbyists, mathematicians and physicists, and historians interested in all aspects of navigation but primarily those techniques which are non-electronic.

    To post a message, if you are already signed up as a NavList member, start a new discussion or reply to any posted message and use your posting code (this is a simple low-security password assigned when you join). You may also join by posting. Your first on-topic messsage automatically makes you a member, and a posting code will be assigned and emailed to you for future posts.

    Uniquely, the NavList message boards also permit full interaction entirely by email. You can optionally receive individual posts or daily digests by email, and any member can post messages by email (bypassing the web site) by sending to our posting address which is "NavList@NavList.net". This functionality is similar to a traditional Internet mailing list: post by email, read by email, reply by email. Most members will prefer the web interface here for posting and replying to messages.

    NavList is more than an online community... more about that another day.
