Rig for Red: Also rig for romantic or rig for Johnny Mathis (this last one is no longer in use I’m sure, as it’s way too dated). Turn the control center lights to red in preparation for PD. Red light making it easier for your eyes to adjust to darkness when you rigged for black prior to heading up to PD. Back in the late 1980s, on my first boat, we all smoked, so you would constantly hear calls of “bright light in control,” as people lit cigarettes, always careful to cup the lighter in your hands to minimize the glare in the blackness of control. Sometimes, instead, we would send the lee helm out to nav center to light 7 or 8 cigarettes and bring them back to pass around to their intended recipients.
