I've done plenty of dumb stuff, but I haven't had the pleasure of being in this particular situation... Yet. Generally I start em both up, and let them get up to temperature before I shove off. I'll check the gauges several times before I let go, which I think is a good habit.
Last season I had a couple of badly adjusted shift cables, so my engines would cut out when I was making locks and docks on a fairly regular basis. It's quite frustrating. I feel your pain.
All's well that ends well. I bet nobody even noticed.
