Hi Jeffery, I'm sure you will hear from others too, but for me (and the USCG), strobes are rescue locators. I believe it's illegal to operate a white strobe if you are NOT looking to be rescued. However, I'd feel free to use one (temporarilly) to avoid the need to be rescued - as in when larger boat traffic heading your way may not see you. I'd turn on all the lights I had including the flashlight I have in the cockpit at night in an attempt to be seen.
