[Rhodes22-list] Phillip's Loaner

I am doing the best I can.  I try my best to avoid "bumper boats" and dock damage.  I think it will require some paint.  The porta-potty is not empty and we haven't used it, ahhem.  Stan said I could throw it away, but I think I will take it out and clean it.  The boat does sail nicely.  I have to fix the piece that attaches to the boom and slides the mainsail in and out.  I also had to restep the mast (with a little advise from Stan).  So far, so good.   I think the rudder is missing a bolt so the handle rubs on the gunwhale.  Other than some wear and tear, it is pretty nice.  There are no hatches forward which is one reason we haven't used the porta-potty.
