You asked for it...

I'm not sure why you tagged your post with the Achtung! emoticon. Your question doesn't seem particularly urgent? And I'm not sure why you posted in the General "Yachting" forum. Therefore your post has been moved under the "Licensing and Education" forum for Captains & Crew. Seems a little more appropriate, don't you think?
