John,
Unfortunately, you can't upload your own avatar, anyway.
However......I've done it for you......next time you log in, go to "profile" and select "troy.gif" from the list of available avatars.

John, suggest you get a print and send it to Darren Taylor at Total sea Fishing, sure you will get something for that.

not a problem alan have sent the only one in to sea angler but will get a few copies done from the negatives and forward one on to you. you could forward your home address /or work to me on here or my emails below and i will send it on asap cheers

problem was that when i was fishing my digital camera was in for repair never thought to take another one so had to use the old steam engine camera on the boat
