***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!

BOAT ME!
I grew up on the water, tearing around in the old family motor boat. Now I love (and hate) kayaks – paddling around is a good time, but waves scare me a bit because I feel tippy. I think I just need more practice!

Katie says
Boat me! I’d choose a large yacht for a long journey but a large catamaran for island hopping and day excursions!
Alison says
BOAT ME! Love these, but this enchantress can’t cross water. We went on a cruise for Christmas and I remained dosed on Dramamine the entire time because the one time I relaxed and didn’t take it, I got sick. I’m happy to view water from the shore, but give me mountains any day of the week.
