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!

More than little timid of boats, despite living right on the Chesapeake. Became a really good swimmer and lifeguard to fight my fear of drowning. Geeky, but true!

Our one husband/wife kayaking experiencing landed my husband upside down in the river! I think we’d still like to try again, but maybe we’ll opt for a cruise (sounds awesome!) or a house boat trip (bucket list), first!

I guess it is time to get back on that horse.
Boat me! If I’m being honest, I’ll take any kind of boat. 4 years ago today my husband asked me to marry him on a dinner boat with fireworks!
