Yo ho ho and a bottle of rum

aabidansari · 10th September 2008, 17:40

I sailed the seas for many years. Loved the adventure, loved the job, loved the new places. Can't say for sure that " I've been there, done that" but am pretty close.
Hi everyone,
My name is Abid. Used to be a Marine engineer before I tied up boat to the life's pier.
Been travelling all my life - a passion that I cant let go.
So it was that i came upon this wonderful set of people with similar passions.
V-16, I took up your advice and introduced myself.
However, i had a problem uploading my foto. Also would like to know how to set up my own avataar.
Anyways, love to be in this group. And am rearing to post.

Welcome aboard Abid. Thanks for heeding to my request of introducing yourself.
An introduction gives all of us an insight of who you are and what you do. This makes it interesting for all of us here to see how many people from varied backgrounds share a common passion.
Regarding the Avtaar, i can already see Mowgli so whatever steps you have undertaken to upload this, have worked. Stick to that

Remember that avtars will not load if they are above a certain specified size . (90X90 i think). Whilr you are at it, kindly go through the board rules too. On our forum, they are of utmost importance and are followed by one and all, strictly
Also try to make it to tonights meet.
In the meanwhile, enjoy your stay here.
