REVIEWED BY KAREN LARSON

John McVie, son of the internationally known photographer, Canadian Jim McVie, has just produced a calendar celebrating sailing and his father’s photography. Jim covered most major yacht races in the Pacific Northwest from the 1950s into the early 1990s. The color photos John selected for the 2005 calendar are exquisite. He’s so inspired by this project he’s already working on 2006. The calendar is available in major bookstores and from Wyman Publishing in Ottawa, Ontario.

About The Author

Karen Larson

Karen Larson and her husband, Jerry Powlas, began sailing together in 1990 and founded Good Old Boat magazine together in 1998. Retired these days, they still have too many boats and a long list of ongoing boat projects. They sail Mystic, their C&C 30, on Lake Superior and Sunflower, their trailerable Mega 30, during the shoulder seasons.
