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!

Luxury cruise for me.

BOAT ME! those are beautiful! I spent some time kayaking this summer, also always loved canoes, row boats and have always wanted to go sailing. Not a big fan of being on big boats though, took the super fast ferry to provincetown a few times, and a couple whale watches- always made me feel sick!

Emma says
Boat me!

BOAT ME! I would choose a speedboat on a lake!

Boat me! My husband would love this, as he is obsessed with sailboats like John is with typography. He even built his own! We’d love to travel the Mediterranean in style aboard a charter someday.
