Ha! You guys have it easy. The Emotional Rescue #303 is owned by Sail Chicago sailing club and there are 52 skippers elegible to rent her. Imagine what's it like for me to teach them all how to get the dipstick back in her M3-20? It took one person 45 minutes (no exaggeration) before I excused him and said that I would check the oil for him whenever he was going to rent the boat. One good thing came of it, though, I learned Braille by "feeling " the dipstick back in.

"absolutely" inaccessible. You can get at it and get it out. Getting
it back in is another matter...
