***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!

Wendy says
Boat Me!
In loved sailing on my parents 27 ft. O’Day but I think it is time I try out cruising. So either a tiny tiny sailboat or the biggest boat you can find! A submarine would also be an interesting choice but not mine……
Nicole S says
Boat Me! As much as I love cruises,I will have to go with the kayak. Gliding silently through the water is just so peaceful.
Angela DQ says
Boat me! Catamaran- a big one! To go island hopping around the Carribean!
Katie says
BOAT ME!
We have a couple lakes where I live, and though they aren’t as sparkling and Little-Mermaid-esque as oceans, there’s much beauty in them. We have a fishing boat and a speedboat we take out for relaxing summer days.

Elizabeth says
BOAT ME!
I’ve always thought it would be fun and adventurous to sail the Pacific. I’ve always been very interested in WW2 and I’d love to visit Hawaii, Midway, Papua New Guinea, etc.
Of course I would also take a luxury yacht, preferably with a sexy European who speaks little to no English. I once had a dream I married Daniel Craig on the sailboat he was on at the end of Casino Royale.

Jen says
BOAT ME!!! How fun!!
We live on a little cove in Virginia Beach off the Lynnhaven River. We have been remodeling our house since we moved in 2.5 years ago. We have transformed our house on our own from an Asian themed house to a beachy house. A TON of weekends and extra time spent by us to turn this house into our home. We love everything beachy and I can already see this in our kitchen were we still need something. This is such a great piece of work.
Regan Bennett says
