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!!
The best boat experience I ever had was paddling a canoe down part of the Erie canal at night for my birthday. I’m not sure it’s possible to capture how beautiful the stars were both in the sky and reflecting in the water. Or how amazing nature sounded in the quiet of the night. We quietly sailed through hidden trees and forested spaces. Definitely a canoe for me.
