You did great Steve but let’s say you live in the states. You left the boat in the Bahamas or Caribbean to be home for Xmas or work. Now how can you run the scenario your diligence accomplished? Just not realistic imho. Not even realistic in your home country unless in very local home waters.
IF I were to leave my boat anywhere while I was hundreds or thousands of miles away then I would first look into local options in case of emergency.
I keep my boat in the Gulf Islands and live on the mainland. I am alerted if the power is unplugged and contact marina staff. I would get alerts if the bilge pump operates. But that is not the same as you suggest and I suppose if I lived on the east coast then I would have to adapt. I cannot relate to leaving my boat like that, never had a reason to consider it.
