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 went whale watching once in California. I then learned I get sea sick. I was bummed but medicine did wonders. Looking forward to going on another sea adventure someday.
I think I would love to change it up and take a trip on a sailboat. Something Bout it seems so relaxing but fun and rewarding. I’m not sure where I would go but the ocean sounds fun, scary at the same time.
stacia says
BOAT ME!
is it just me or does the marthas vineyard water map look like a cow upside down??
just me??
no thanks on the boat thing. i like my feet planted on solid ground. but if i was a boat person it would be a big sale boat. i love the idea of a beautiful summer morning sailing in the wind with my white shorts, striped blue and white t-shirt and a great pair of boat shoes.
of course i’m very tanned, very young and john kennedy jr. is steering the boat
