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!

TristaG says
BOAT ME!
Being out in the middle of the ocean or large lakes freaks me out a little; so I am a fan on canoes on rivers. However, I’m sure I could suck it up for a luxury cruise :)
Nina says
BOAT ME!
Wow, this is an amazing giveaway. Thanks so much for introducing us to this company – what beautiful works of art!
As for boat adventures, I’m psyched about celebrating a friend’s birthday on a [moored] boat in the SF Marina, complete with songs and hot apple cider. Yay for Sea Chanties!

Victoria says
BOAT ME!
I’m wary of boats after an illfated halibut fishing trip that ended with me puking my guts out. But I did catch a fish.
And my first family vacation, my family went on a cruise to mexico, and while sharing a kayak with my mother she nearly flipped the boat trying to look at a group of stingrays. I haven’t willingly kayaked since.
I’d like to learn to sail though, I live on the coast of the Pacific and maybe I should get into the water again.
