***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! Canoe is the only boat for me :)
Becca says
Boat Me! My husband lived on his 40 foot power boat when we dated and I soon moved aboard when we got married. It was home to us for 6 years, until my 17 month old needed a yard to run in. We live in Washington State, right across from the glorious San Juan Islands and Canada’s Gulf Islands. Our dream: to get up to Alaska in our boat for a family trip of a lifetime!

Motored boat travel makes me nauseated (ok, maybe the beer had something to do with it too), so sailing for me only.

Definitely a trip around the Les Cheneaux Islands in a Boston Whaler for me!

BOAT ME!! A sailboat!
melody says
BOAT ME!
I like really short boat rides. Like the kind that takes you out to deeper water to snorkel. :)
Angie says
Boat Me! I am terrified of all things that float in water. I am the only one that would be wearing a life jacket the entire time on any boat…including a cruise.
Valery says
BOAT ME!
I’d love a luxury cruise or maybe a daytrip on a sailboat. Or a daytrip on a kayak. I love the ocean :)
Rebecca says
Boat me! I would love to take a sailboat or houseboat to the Seattle / Vancouver area. Just spend a week or two relaxing on the boat and taking in the sights on land!
Lisa says
BOAT ME! Though, really just living near a large body of water would be good for me. Why do I always move myself hours and hours from any coastline?
April says
BOAT ME!! Sailboat, hands down. As a Geographer I have always been drawn to these (they are AMAZING in person), hope I can add one to my collection of maps soon!

JuLoh says
Boat Me! I would saw luxury cruise except I am too afraid I might have motion sickness the whole time that I can never commit to giving a cruise a try. Soooo, i would likely end up in a kayak!

Gaidig says
BOAT ME!!
I love sailing – I did a couple of weeks in camp on a 51′ sailboat in high school. One of my dream ideas about if my life were different would be to own a boat just big enough to have a cabin and a galley and to live on it and sail around wherever we wanted to go.
Jenn says
BOAT ME! I like smaller boats like a kayak or canoe on a calm body of water.
AJ says
BOAT ME! I actually work on one of the islands (and used to live there and was married there!) that Below the Boat has a chart for and would love to win so I could get it!
Elyssa says
Boat me! I don’t know much about boats, but I would love to cruise around Lake Superior, since I live in Marquette, MI!
Nikki says
BOAT ME!!
Kristine says
BOAT ME!! Tiny sailboat for two!
Haley says
“BOAT ME!”
I love all boats I have ever been on so far, so I guess it would be more about the waters I am boating in. Give me the waters off of Kauai or Western Costa Rica, lots of sunscreen, a floppy hat, and a handsome sailor I’m a happy girl.
Becky says
Boat Me! On a sailboat in the Mediterranean :)
