Fab Freebie: Under The Sea

***This giveaway is no longer accepting entries – see who won below!***

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’m a land-lover and prefer my boats firmly tied to a dock with cocktails on board. I did travel once on a hydrofoil across the Bay of Finland and that was kinda cool, mostly b/c it involved less time on the water than a ferry.

    BOAT ME!! A house boat is my dream. My grandpa was a riverboat captain going up and down the Mississippi, so I did actually know what a bathymetric chart is.

    BOAT ME! Those are awesome!

    I would want a boat large enough to handle the waves but smallest enough to get into ports around the world.

    BOAT ME! I’d pick a small 2 or 4 person fishing boat and would hit the lake with my girls for some fishing and tanning :)

    Boat me! I would gladly travel on any type of boat as long as I could go for a swim off of it… My husband says I’m part amphibian.

    BOAT ME!

    I LOVE these maps – I moved to Seattle this year and am absolutely in love with the surrounding water.

    I’d love to venture out on a small sailboat – big enough for two with a little cabin :)

    BOAT ME!

    I love all ventures out on the water. I’ve been sailing tons of times, love cruises, even those little pedal boats on a pond! ;)

    BOAT ME (US)! Fisherman at heart, I’d love to venture out on a deep sea fishing boat in the Chesapeake Bay. Loving the chart of the Bay on their site.

    Thanks for the chance to win one of these awesome maps — so cool.

    Boat me! I would love to find my Dad’s old boat that he used to take me out on when I was little, he recently passed away and I find myself really wishing I could find it.

    Boat me!
    I can’t handle a boat bigger than a ski boat – I get too seasick. :/ But I do love riding across the lake in a ski boat at top speed!

    BOAT ME!! i’m a ferry accross the river type of girl. I might kayak on a lake… but the idea those big cruiseliners in the middle of the ocean don’t sit well with me. I doubt i’ll ever get on one. happy new year!

    Boat Me! I’m an oceanographer so I’ll take a research ship, please :) This would be an amazing gift for my oceanographer husband (or me for that matter…).
