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! If I had to get on a boat, it would be the catamaran that runs from Croatia to the island my husband’s family is from – he’s always wanted to take the trip!

    Boat me!! I’m up for any boat ride, but would LOVE to go on a cruise…to anywhere! I have yet to give that a try. Riding a yacht through the canals of South Florida had been the best experience to date, however.

    BOAT ME! I would want to be on a small schooner sailing around Martha’s Vineyard. That’s where I consider my home to be and since my husband is in the Air Force, we rarely get to spend time there.

    BOAT ME! I get sea sick way to easy, but I would love that map of Martha’s Vineyard, I got to go once and it was amazing.

    BOAT ME! I’d take a sailboat around the SF Bay. It’s my hometown, but I’ve never explored it like a tourist.

    Oh, I would love to get this!, and I know my husband would, too – he has sailed several times in a McGregor 26, and that’s exactly what I’d like to do, too! :)

    I’ve always longed to sail the Caribbean. Throw me on a pirate ship with Captain Jack Sparrow and (as long as we can find the rum) we’d make do!

    I like to feel the wind in my hair, so I think a large motor boat would totally be my speed! These maps look so awesome! Would love to have such a unique piece of art!

    BOAT ME! I had a wonderful wedding on a gorgeous yacht from the ’30s, sailing around NYC. These bathymetric charts are stunning! I wish there was one of NY Harbor (centered on Manhattan) — hint, hint

    BOAT ME!

    I have dreams about those Disney cruises where my kids can play all day and my partner and I can read and hang out, and still do fun things as a family (so, a vacation for *everyone*), but my partner is a submarine officer, so spending a vacation on a boat is approximately the last thing he would want to do ever (probably slightly above a zombie-themed vacation).

    This art work is unreal! So gorgeous! I would go for a cruise for sure, probably around some gorgeous tropical islands!

    BOAT ME! I’m an equal opp boat kind of girl… some days I like to paddle out in a kayak, I’ve enjoyed being taken on sailboats, and who doesn’t love a luxury cruise?!

    BOAT ME!! I actually would for most forms of boat travel. I’ve done the not so luxurious cruise, but it was awesome anyway. I love sailboats, I had dreams of having a house boat at one time, I love to canoe, and speedboats are a blast! But ultimately I guess a luxury cruise to Antarctica would be the big dream.
