It's good of him to post this and talk about it.
It seems to me, the main issue was messing around with a fuel system (not totally familiar to him) at low level. Also making a short hop from startup.
I don't like to take off and immediately go over water, If I'm going in to land somewhere interesting I usually have been flying for a bit and don't touch the fuel valve or hopefully anything out of the usual landing requirements. It's always worth thinking about what can go wrong though.
That doesn't mean one shouldn't go flying into interesting places.
