At this very moment, I am watching an orange boat (TowBoat?) towing an unlighted inboard across a dark windy stretch towards the Broads. At its present headway speed, it is eight miles to the nearest marina, perhaps still an hour or more away. The towed boat has eight people on board.

It's 7:07-PM. At this late hour, does its flashing yellow light count towards protection of the towed boat? (Being towed about 70' behind).
