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! I want to go on a cruise of the Greek Isles!!
Ellen S. says
BOAT ME! (please!)
My boating fantasy involves living on a house boat. Falling asleep in a house rocking gently in soothing waves and then waking up to a cup of coffee with a waterfront view every day? AMAZING! I would kayak to work and the grocery store just to keep things fun. How about you two?
Brittany says
Boat Me~I would love to venture out on a sailboat in the tropics :-)
Annalise E says
Boat me! If I could go anywhere on a boat, it would have to be a cruise on the Mediterranean, but our little boat from the 60s gets us onto a body of water, which I also enjoy greatly!

I like big boats (and I can not lie..haha!). They just feel a bit more safe :)

BOAT ME! I just moved into a neighborhood with access to a private lake, so now I’m lusting after a Whitehall rowboat with a sliding seat. The birchbark-style canoe from my childhood is pretty awesome, too!
Jennifer Smith says
BOAT ME! A cruise ship for me!

Sailboats look so romantic but kind-of scare me…
A canoe in water that I could swim to shore is more my speed.

Laurin says
Boat me!
If I had to, I might be willing to try a small canoe or something on clear water. I get the creeps in water if I can’t see the bottom! I’ll stick to tubing in the rivers around the SF Bay in the meantime!

BOAT ME! I definitely prefer kayaks!!!
Robert says
BOAT ME! Sailboat for sure
