Bob wants me to give you some information on the boat, for those that haven't talked to us lately.
It is a Marlow Explorer 57E.
The length overall is 61' and has a beam of 18'2".
There are 2 Caterpillar C-18 engines and 1000 hp for each engine.
We have 2 northern lights 16 kw generators.
Bob can drive from either the pilothouse or bridge-he prefers the bridge.
Some very nice extras are the bow and stern thrusters and my favorite is the stabilizers.
We have an 11' dinghy with a 40 hp Yamaha motor that we carry along to go to shore when we anchor out.
We have alot of luxuries considering it is a boat: washer & dryer, dishwasher, 4 televisions, 3 refrigerators and a lot of freezer space. So far we have been eating out a lot but we do have a stove top and convection/microwave.

Hello. My name is Chris Cannon and my wife, Cara Lynn, and I are Owners In Waiting. We live on Sullivans Island (outside of Charleston) and saw your boat at the City Marina on Sunday while we were crusiing. We had also seen Rhody Ray at the Snead Island yard during one of our visits.
How are you liking the 57E. That is the exact model we have on order and I will look forward to your Blog postings during your Great Loop trip. We also intend on doing the loop in our 57.
Good luck on your trip and please let me know if there are things on Rhody Ray you would change.
Thanks and have a nice night.
Chris Cannon
