Craig,

A strobe is a distress signal.  Don't know if that is what you are
talking about when you say flashing.

     I use one of those Davis mini-mega lights on my boat as a backup
to the all-around mast top anchor light.  Totally agree that way up on
the stop (gee, ok it's only 28' up) does a poor job in a close up
anchorage.    My light has 6 options flashing or solid white, red or
yellow.   I've thought of using the flashing option but figured there
is probably some colreg rule against same.     But I have used the
flashing yellow a couple of times at dusk while out away from the boat
(usually hung from the boom and over the cockpit) to help in finding
me way home quickly and easily.
