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!

Loveit!
Since I am not sailing at the moment boat me with things to always keep the sea in my mind.
The adventure: a sailboat, my husband and the open sea crossing oceans with moonlit skies!
Dawn says
BOAT ME! Canoe all the way. I like my water slow and calm. Thanks for the giveaway!
Maria B says
BOAT ME!
If I had a choice, I’d go on a luxury cruise, for sure! Either a Med cruise or even a Baltic cruise. Sounds dreamy!
Ruby Showalter says
Boat me!!! I’d sail away on a cruise to Alaska….or some other exotic place! :)
Kelly Anne says
Boat me!
I love sea kayaks, so I’d probably go with that. But taking a National Geographic/Linblad trip around the Mediterranean on the Sea Cloud (a gorgeous old sailboat once owned by Marjorie Merriwether Post), is also a dream of mine.
Christina says
Boat Me! My only real experience with boats is in size up to a speed boat, so I’ll take a kayak! I’ve never been on a cruise ship as a genuine paying customer so maybe that would be nice. I did hop on as a deck passenger almost twenty years ago (age 19) with several college friends. We were studying in the Austrian foothills for a semester and having a 10 day break decided to head for Greece and Santorini. We had two big ships to ride on, but with no money we were stuck sitting on the deck in the weather for nearly 20 hours of each leg. I have no desire to do that again!
Rugby Wife says
BOAT ME!! I would definitely opt for cruise…the bigger the better…the less motion sickness I get? :)
Ruth says
Boat me!
My best friend and I are taking our daughters on a Disney cruise next summer. Can’t wait!

I’d love to go on a cruise sometime. Have never been!
Kevin says
BOAT ME! I’d choose a cruise. The bigger the boat the better, so I don’t feel the waves too much.
Sarah says
BOAT ME! A cruise ship heading to the Arctic would be my choice. Even though I hate the sea – I love any kind of map!
Stephy says
Boat ME! My favorite vacation was the Alaskan Cruise. After seeing the water art of Martha’s Vineyard, I’m in LOVE! I plan on getting that even if NO win, b/c that island was where our surprise bundle of joy came from ;)
AshleyS says
BOAT ME!! A luxury yacht, all the way!
Molly O says
Boat me! I love being *near* the water more than on it, but if I’m in a boat, I’d most like it to be a speedboat (less chance of being seasick!)
Tamisha says
Boat Me!
I would love to set sail on a 40 ft wooden sail boat…not too large, but not so small as to be confining. I have friends who have done it and I long to do it…
Stephanie Williams says
Boat me!! Ski boat for sure!!
Tara says
Boat me please! As long as I am on the water anything that floats will work! Thanks for great giveaway would totally go in our new nautical redesign of guest bath. I was actually going to buy a nautical chart to frame but this would be so much better. Can’t wait to check out their site!

Stef says
Boat me! Party boat on a lake :)
Rebekah says
BOAT ME! I would love to go on a cruise someday!

Greg says
BOAT ME! I would like the Steve Jobs Family Yauht.
Sandy Mouras says
My dad’s boat! His hobby is building wooden boats by hand, his last one took 11 years, but it’s done and beautiful (and 28′ long!). Talk about DIY!
kory says
Boat me!
I’ve always wanted (and hope some day we’ll afford one!) a small yacht for seeking beautiful beaches on islands of the Adriatic sea… who needs heaven when there are Hvar, Vis, Korcula, Lastovo…
pat says
Boat Me! I would take a sailboat!
