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!

Boat Me!my husband and our wedding guests! My husband and I recently had our destination wedding in Negril, Jamaica! Rather than giving out wedding favors, we took our 60 wedding guests on a catamaran cruise that entailed of snorkeling, red strip beer & dancing and ended with Cliff Jumping at Rick’s Cafe. My husband and his family spent many summers in Martha’s Vineyard, so when I saw this particular post, it made me smile.
