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 dream of a private chartered catamaran tour around the medeterranian sea.
CammyS says
BOAT ME! Well, as motion sickness has pretty much ruled out any form of travel without motion sickness pills (planes, trains, even long car rides will do me in) I’d probably go with a large cruise ship, so I couldn’t even tell I was in the water.
Hilary says
Boat me! While boating is not my ideal method of travel due to a total lack of sea legs- the idea of sailing to far away places sounds so beautiful and romantic.. Maybe I should stick to canoes though :)

I would continuously play “I’m on a boat” by Lonely Island. Look it up if you haven’t seen it!
