And the randomly selected person who’s starting their new year off with prize is… Jennifer (who answered this week’s question with a Canadian folk lyric – which I had to look up, mind you: “Lukey’s boat is painted green, Ha, me boys!”). Congrats Jennifer!
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!

tara says
boat me!
luxury cruise for me:)
shana says
BOAT ME!
A luxury cruise for sure! I’m scared of all the things that live in the water, so no kayaks or canoes for me!
Carrie O says
BOAT ME!
I always thought it would be amazing to live in a ‘house boat’ to travel around in. Other then the fact I get sea sick on the ferry it will just have to be a dream. Sigh.
Felecia says
BOAT ME – Sailboat for me. = ]
Lyndsey M. says
BOAT ME!!
I love sailing … but not much can beat a jet ski! ;)
Stephanie says
BOAT ME! I’d love to take a nice boat on the French Riviera. Not a Cruise liner though, all those people would freak me out. A nice private Yacht with the fam.
Sara says
BOAT ME! Canoes and kayaks are my choice. I don’t get seasick on the smaller vessels!
Sarah M. says
BOAT ME!I’ve always wanted to go out on a yacht; something big enough to sleep over for a few nights, but not so big that it feels cruise-y.
Megan says
BOAT ME! It’s my husband’s dream to sell our house and buy a sailboat to live on and float all around the world. He’s even taken sailing lessons (in a local reservoir–it’s the best he can do in land-locked C-bus Ohio). It’s his dream, but I’m on board (har har). This prize would be a perfect gift for his upcoming birthday. Thanks!
Heidi says
BOAT ME! I have to say sailboat because they just seem so graceful but I’m much more likely to find myself near a kayak and a river than the great blue beyond.
rebecca says
BOAT ME! Absolutely a kayak or canoe, I adore them. So relaxing, so fun.
Mallory M says
BOAT ME! — I love boats, I even have one (well a Hobie tri-maran kayak type of boat – it’s amazing) and I get out as often as I can when the weather is nice. Would love this to give as a gift to my boat loving other half :)

Shauna says
BOAT ME! A pontoon boat would be wonderful!
Ashley @ sunnysideshlee.com says
BOAT ME!
I’d go on a big boat … I’m terrified of large bodies of water and even though the Titanic sunk, I’d still feel safer in a big boat v. a sail boat!

Melanie says

I’ve been on many types of boats but can’t wait to go aboard the Coast Guard Cutter Mohawk in Key West, FL this summer! (My hubby is taking command of the ship!) This give away would be such a cool gift for him to commemorate the occasion!
