Do not know about Florida HB's, but the diesel sounds really good, when the
mileage is about 1 mile per gallon or less, with a gas boat. The Lake Shasta HB's tow 2-3 ski boats. And some times another side tied. " wrote in message oups.com... I live in Cape Coral in the winter time and do quite a lot of boating when we are there. South West Florida is a wonderful cruising area for houseboats since there is protected water both behind the islands in the intercoastal waterway/Pine Island sound area, and also in the Caloosahatchie River. Virtually all of the marinas on the river offer protection from rough weather and there are numerous anchorages available as well. Some of or favorites are Tween Waters Inn and Marina on the bay side of Captiva, the anchorage at Useppa Island across from Cabbage Key, and Pelican Bay at the north end of Cayo Costa. You need to get some of the better SWFL cuising guides such as Clairborne Young's and do some studying since the possibilities are too vast to cover in a quick note here. Towing a dinghy should not be a problem. Best weather is usually March, April and early May. |
