My concern with leaving a strobe on at night is that the strobe could easily be misinterpreted. Other boaters may think your strobe is some sort of flashing bouy marker. Night vision is not as good as day, so your strobe could make things very confusing for others. I do have a strobe clipped to my lifejacket, but it is there only to be used in an emergency. If I get separated from my boat, this is my last resort method for remaining somewhat visible on the water. --- Tom Buckley <nbrunner_at_telus.net> wrote: > I have been reading conflicting opinions (go > figure) on whether it is > appropriate to use a strobe at night strictly to be > seen or not.
