You could maybe try to use a flare if you find yourself dead in the water mid channel at night with a barge bearing down, but you're probably a lot better off deliberately avoiding finding yourself in that position in the first place.

That kind of thinking is exactly what causes accidents. Carry the flares Tim - they are cheap enough, don't take up a lot of room and you'll be that much safer.
