That sinking feeling

Ever thought something was a really good idea until you tried it? I am studying for the VHF radio ops exam: in my creative but not technical mind, I imagined it would be all about phonetics (at which I'm really good), correct and courteous radio proceedure (at which I'm really good) and channel selection (of which I have a good working knowledge).
How wrong can you be!?! Now I have to remember things like the specific gravity of battery acid, on-load terminal voltage and all sorts of stuff that I have no clue about....
At least I can define the word Megahertz: it's a description of the headache you get when you realise you're probably too thick to even attempt the exam!

Hi,

She's a fine looking Bavaria!

My fiance and I are coming to Perth September 18 for 10 days and are looking to charter a yacht like Sirocco for 5 days or so. I wonder if you might point me in the right direction?

I've been scouring the net but am running out of ideas...

Best
