I need to know more about your tie-dyed sail, David. Lots more. I told my daughter it wouldn't work if you tried to tie-dye Dacron. Is it real? Or photoshopped?

All right, so soon (maybe a week or so) I'll post a link to a lulu calendar for feedback. This will NOT be the calendar you should buy, as it'll just use the small size photos and won't print well. But it'll look good enough on a screen so people can tell me what they think.
Meanwhile, keep them photos coming. Let's get the best shots we can.

Tom,
Here's the completed version of the GIS calendar. I sure have been impressed with Cafe Press.

Visit us to see how we help people complete classic boats authentically.
Circa 1994. What I like about this one is that the boat was built for exactly that purpose, so my son would have a good boat to fish from. Trouble is, it's a bit fuzzy. I suppose it could still be used if there were a month with 4 small pictures of kids in boats, the fuzziness doesn't show so much that way. Or maybe you know some magic way to clean it up. It's all yours, anyway.

Amphibious Macroplankton Oughtredia doublendus
Mostly found frequenting the littoral and estuarine zones in the southern half of the Salish Sea, though sightings have been recorded both north and south of this area, and occasionally, but rarely, inland, in freshwater environments. This species lives on micro-brewed beer and dutch-oven biscuits,and displays brightly colored nylon and gore-tex plumage during the rainy season. Approach with caution!

Or learning to helm.
I bet we could do a whole calendar or ten just on this topic.

Wish I had a few more pictures to offer, but nothing that matches what's been submitted already. Beautiful boats and beautiful pictures. Really looking forward to the calendar.

Thank you! Great thread. i especially like the way the lines turn in #48.
Ok--soon I'll have a few calendars ready to test-drive. I'll post a link here later this week, ask people to look at them (but no buying yet--these will be low-res previews!), and then get the high res images once we know what pics people want.
