Raise your hand if you know what a bathymetric chart is. I didn’t before this giveaway, but it’s basically like a topographic map for what lies underwater. But the more important thing to know is that the married duo behind Below the Boat turns these charts into gorgeous, laser-cut, hand-assembled works of art. They’re beautifully intricate and fascinatingly detailed. And they’ve got lots of bodies of water from the east coast, west coast, and even some lakes in between. One of you is gonna win up to $300 worth of bathymetric chart-y goodnesst this week. So… ahoy!

Gisela says
BOAT ME!
This is Gisela again, using my husband’s email to enter this contest (yay for international giveaways). We are both of the carsick tendencies, so I think we’ll pass from the sailing, and take the sea gazing from afar.
Claire says
BOAT ME! Mama needs a cruise after this past year!!!!!

BOAT ME! I am terrified of drowning and get seasick super easily, so the boat of my choice is a tiny rowboat, quietly moving down a peaceful river.

BOAT ME! OMG – if I don’t win this for my husband, I may have to save up for next Christmas. We started our relationship paddling the hand-me-down ginormous aluminum canoe around the lakes and rivers in Minnesota. We just recently took it on a camping trip in Idaho, loaded to the brim with gear, our 4-year old, and a 95 lb dog.

Boat Me! I’d love to take a boat ride to look at the volcanoes on the Big Island. One of the things I didn’t get to do on my recent trip.

It was right on the water and cost less than renting an ocean front house at Nagshead!
