Great advice!

Hi John

Enjoyed the visit to your blog. Have always liked the name on your boat “Blue Heaven” Did not know that it was named after the restaurant in Key West. We have been there a few times. Our favorite is Louie’s backyard.

Just a couple of thoughts…. There is a site that I believe has the best diesel information. I visit it all the time for boat and engine info. It is called boat diesel.com http://boatdiesel.com/index.cfm

Another thing is that when you take your great loop trip. I will have to tell you about cruising the “Bayside” of the Florida Keys. Not sure if you have already cruised the ICW or Hawk Channel. There are some nice harbors to visit. I believe that your boat is probably about 4ft draft and can cruise those waters.

You will get use to cruising at 30mph in 6ft of water. (you will leave a contrail of sand in your wake) Although the bayside can be shallow we usually take the Hawk Channel down to Key West and the bayside back. That is depending on the wind and waves. Sometime we do the cruise in reverse.
