Enjoyed the heck out of your story. I have the same Honda and also have had some "real fun" times of it not starting. I always carry around a couple cans of the spray starting fluid. I need the starting spray just about every time to start the outboard (at least over 5000 feet el). In fact, I permanently mounted a little tube in the outboard chassis so that I can spray into the carb without removing the outboard cover. Once I get it started, its a good old work horse however.

Congatulations to yourself and Ruth!!
