For offshore I carry the large 35MM parachute flares .
These are really visible for miles and the chute keeps them up for a while.
The available colors allow for non emergency use.
White = here I am. RED = help
There expensive , so usually well out of date , so a bag of crap flares that can be cheaply replaced are for the USCG visits.
A bright strobe on a flashlight might save on purchasing crap flairs to wave at the USCG .
