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 have glorious memories of taking a sailboat around the coast of Queensland (Australia) as a child, docking at various white sand beaches. But I haven’t sailed much since, so I would need an expert to take me …

Amber says
BOAT ME!
Boats and me don’t mix so well, so it would have to be something Huge. Something that felt more like a floating Mall than a sea going vessel.

I’m not the strongest swimmer and one of my ultimate fears is being swept up in a tidal wave (we live in PA – don’t think it’s going to happen anytime soon) so I’m more of a sit by the pool kinda gal.

Boat me!

BOAT ME! My grandfather was in the merchant marines and my parents own a little boat on a lake, so growing up I spent lots of time tubing and hanging out on the lake. Although, taking a cruise is my ultimate favorite boating activity :-)

BOAT ME!
I would love, love, love to sail around the Greek islands, stopping at little ports and swimming off the boat.

Any kind of boat would make me happy. I think I might slightly prefer a luxury cruise, but next in line would probably be a chartered catamaran. Oh, to be rich!
