[Rhodes22-list] Mast light wiring

[Mike Cheung]

Yeah, found that out when I swapped out Muireann's interior lights for LED. 
All were wired "backwards" so I got to rewire them at the fixtures.  I'll
get around to doing the exterior lights one of these days, but we don't do
much night sailing, so it's low on the priorities list.
