When I lived on the houseboat, I was at a country marina dock one night in Florida, plugged into shore power, and the power must have stopped. I didn't notice because the automatic transfer switch worked instantly, and was very quiet. I only realized the power was out when I went up on deck. The marina was dark and also the big city glow that normally flooded the horizon at night was gone. My boat was lit up like Christmas tree, and the music was still playing. Nice being the only one left in civilization-- that was the feeling.
