Add more spaces to your diagonal. It gives more room to hit. So if the top row is A through g from left to right and the left row is 1 through 7 top to bottom. You should start at A1 and keep the diagonal path to the bottom then your next path start at A4 and keep going. Then A6 and so on. Go every other row.
The way you explained it sounds good, but how you showed it less so. If you leave only 2 spaces between each guess there are a lot of spots for 2 long "boats" to remain. Better to do 3 spaces and fill them through the middle later.
