Re: [Paddlewise] Strobe Lights

Donald Reid says "Mike, at sea ... according to all the 'rules and regs' ... a
strobe, per sie, has no meaning ..."

Steve Holtzman says "As far as strobes go---most ports and coastal areas on 
the West Coast are
considered Inland Waterways---a strobe is a distress signal on them."

So we seem to have a difference in opinion as to the use of strobe lights in 
inland and Great Lakes waters. It has long been a truism in the Great Lakes 
area that strobes are considered to be a distress signal. Does anyone know 
the source of this idea?
