Orange smoke blowing from a boat typically indicates a distress signal. It serves to alert nearby vessels or rescue teams that the boat is in trouble and requires assistance. In maritime contexts, such smoke can be used as a visual distress signal, complementing other forms of communication like flares or radio calls. It's essential for other boats to take notice and respond appropriately to ensure the safety of those in distress.
