***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!

Kelsey S. says
BOAT ME! I get awful sea sickness, so I was sure that a cruise was not the vacation for me until my husband convinced me to go on one for our honeymoon. I was hooked! We’ve been on another since then, and I would go again in a heartbeat!
Nicole says
BOAT ME!
Holy cow, I would die for one of these of the San Juans. Hubs and I would both die. Of happiness.
I grew up sailing (although I can’t sail), so I would pick a sailboat!

My boyfriend would like it if I said sailboat (which he owns), but honestly, I like me a canoe. :)

BOAT ME! A private dive ship off of Cozumel, with XM radio and homemade guacamole after a great dive.

Boat Me! These are pretty swell. I mean, a sailboat and luxury yaht allows me to travel- but if just for a day I’d say a sea kayak.
Julia says
BOAT ME! would love to canoe and row again on my grandparents lake! those were the days!

when i was growing up, we had a cat boat named “Liberty” that had a huge white sale with a diagonal stripe of American flag… i thought it was just the coolest boat in the whole world.

Jenny says
Boat me! I’d love to learn to sail!
Betsy says
Boat Me! Oh, I could go for a Mediterranean cruise any time! I’d love to go on one of those! But we’re on a rowboat kind of budget, so it’s just a dream for now!

Boat Me! Houseboat all the way!!
ELizabeth Beattie says
BOAT ME! I get horribly sea sick just loking at water. So, for me, I would love to scuba dive under the sea to my destination. In my dreams that is, cause I have a damaged ear drum and can never go scuba diving either. Lord I am a water mess and I am an AQUARIUS! But seriously, how cool would it be to travel non-stop under the sea. ;)
Anne T says
BOAT ME!!! I would probably take my voyage on a chartered yacht if money were no issue! If money were an issue, it would probably be a canoe.
