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 would set off in a canoe with my daughter, who is an aquatic scientist and has studied many of the bodies of water celebrated by Below the Boat. Beautiful!!!

    A cruise ship definitely! We actually just got back from a Disney Cruise and I got sea sick on the last night. I don’t think I could do anything smaller.

    Boat Me! Can’t go wrong with a chic sailboat!
    Yacht=too stuffy! kayak=too rugged! cruise ship=too…loud/commercial! sailboat=just right!

    I would really love to take a trip on a houseboat, I spent a week on one with my family when I saw very young and it was so peaceful and fun at the same time!

    I would go out for a week on my grandparents 26′ Tollycraft Boat. Though like any family they can drive me nuts at times, I know that there will come a day when I would do anything to spend more time with them. I am blessed at the age of 33 to still have my grandparents alive, and even more blessed that my two children get to enjoy time with them as well. An experience like this would be a great memory for me & my kids to have.

    Boat me! I’m afraid of big bodies of water (almost drowned when I was little) so it is very rare you will find me a boat. If I had I pick one, maybe a cruise ship… It does seem very relaxing and fun!

    My parents sometimes rented sailboats when I was a kid, I still love them. A round-the-world trip sounds about right.

    I’d go with sailboat, it has been a few years since I’ve been on one and it is the best feeling in the world!
