Boat is safely in RI as of last night. Trip was an adventure, but the water couldn't have been smoother and other than some fog it was almost completely uneventful. I'm not sure I could qualify bad power in one marina an event, though it did cause 30 minutes of unnecessary troubleshooting. I learned a lot from this trip, hope I can document it for others here or elsewhere...

Congratulations on an uneventful trip!! Enjoy your new boat and please keep us updated.
