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!

Hmmm, I think it depends on how long we are talking… Year long cruise around the world? Bigger Boat, week or so in the Carib, I’ll take a reasonably big sail boat. But for me, it’s a vacation, so no heavy work!
Thanks for the fun, Jon and Sherry! Enjoy your New Year.
