Hi! Last symposium I attended with Coast Guard rescue personnel there, they specifically said that they ALWAYS consider a strobe to be an emergency signal and will investigate. This was in Washington State. Suggest you contact your local area office and see what they say.

Other articles say it should be used for emergencies only. I would like to hear some thoughts from the list on this.
