Even if the slow flash mode does not achieve the required 50 - 70 times per 
minute to be considered a  considered a distress signal, I strongly urge you 
to not use it unless you are under distress.

I doubt people watching from shore are going to count the speed of the 
flashes before calling the authorities.
