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!

Not a huge fan of boats, and I’ve never been on a cruise…soooo maybe I could do a gondola?

This is gorgeous!
I’ve done the luxury cruise. I’d rather go for a smaller boat just cause it’s so much more intimate! Would love to sip wine with friends on a boat to somewhere! And I’d go somewhere warm :)
Abby A says
BOAT ME…I would love to go on a lux. cruise! The only time I’ve been on a boat was over the summer in Virgina- where one of my best friends and her military husband moved. We got to take out a sailboat for the fourth of July- it was a blast!

Melissa says
Boat me!
I live on Oahu but I’ve never been on a sunset sail! My husband is in the Navy and we moved here during the worst months to try and sail – plus I’m expecting our first baby any day now, so it’s probably not a good idea to go out on a sailing trip yet. :)
