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!

BOAT ME!
I would get back out in my dad’s old fishing boat, the Muskie II, in the Bay of Quinte on the north shore of Lake Ontario. I fished there with my dad and uncles when I was a kid, and the very first time I went out on the boat at age 8, I caught an enormous pike. Lots of good memories on that boat and lake. :)
Melissa says
BOAT ME! The hubs and I always go out on his little 16′ bass boat. We joke that it’s name should be The Empty Cooler since we don’t catch much fish on it. LOL. These maps would be perfect in our newly remodeled bathroom!

BOAT ME!
Living in the land of 10,000 lakes, we have a fishing boat that is big enough for our family to go for rides too. We even camped on an island in the middle of a lake last summer. (The first island we checked out had a black bear, so we moved on to another island for the night.)
Fancier boats are nice too. Just more work than I want.
Jessica says
Boat me!!!! On a nice fishing boat, I will enjoy the views and the hubby can fish. Win-win.
