Steve, et al...

I think Steve has a CD Gulfstream (like me), so... what do you folks do? 
Can you twist around enough to see what's in the day hatch? Do you just 
feel around and pull what's necessary out? My hatch is teathered, of 
course, and getting it back on is a matter of pressing all edges with one 
hand (the other's useless, either with a paddle or too far away to do much 
good). Any good tips?
