(BTW, how does one differentiate a flashing emergency beacon from a steady flashing buoy? My strobe isnt that rapid. Buoys with irregular flash sequences are obvious, but...) Colorado Kayak, in their catalogue, suggest using a flashing light to mark your campsite during evening paddles. Not recommended in the Great Lakes.
