Fab Freebie: Under The Sea

***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 would be on a yacht, like in Jay-Z’s “Big Pimpin” video. Jay-Z would also be playing in the background.

    A small luxury sail somewhere in the South Pacific. Yes, I would love some sunshine and warm water right about now!!

    Boat Me! I love sailing and my favorite boat in the world is the Schooner Brilliant. It was built in 1932 and is a classic boat. It is a prefect size sail boat to travel around with a group of friends.

    My favorite place on earth is accessible only by boat (a ferry, in fact) and it appears on Below the Boat’s Long Island Sound map. It’s fate!

    Boat me! A river kayak trip or a canoe trip in the Boundary Waters in northern Minnesota is my favorite way to enjoy a boat.

    BOAT ME! I’m a sailboat kind of girl, but any ol’ boat will do – just get me out on that water! This would make a perfect wedding gift for my soon-to-be husband – freebie or not, I may be ordering the Great Lakes chart. :)

    BOAT ME!

    I mean, if money was not a concern, I’d definitely pick a private luxury yacht with it’s own captain and crew. That would be SO awesome! But, if I were to pick something I could actually afford, it would be a houseboat. With a slide. And kayaks for exploring.

    BOAT ME!

    I’ve always wanted to go on a cruise, but if I could choose anything, I think I’d prefer to take a sailboat out through the Caribbean… wouldn’t that be lovely?

    BOAT ME!!! I would love to go out on a two person row boat with my soon-to-be husband in some secret cove on our honeymoon in Hawaii. :) In my imaginings, we would stumble upon a hidden cavern and find “buried treasure” — which would actually be some pretty seashells that we would being home as a memento of our trip. I really want to start my own vacation jar collection!

    BOAT ME! We would love to have a ski boat AND a pontoon boat! They are practical and would almost guarantee we wouldn’t venture off to where I couldn’t see the sight of land!

    BOAT ME!! I would love to spend my time in the water floating in a kayak between the Balboa bay islands with my boyfriend. It is one of our favorite outdoor activities.

    Ooo love this! Maps are what I do for a living so… BOAT ME!

    One of my dreams is to catch a Research Boat down to Antarctica, so that’s my answer.

    BOAT ME! The Queen Mary 2 would be cool. Though I’ve always wanted to learn to sail. Then again, having your own captain and chef sounds might fine too!

    BOAT ME! My choice would be a fishing boat! I grew up riding around on my friend’s Dad’s Seahawk and now my brother-in-law has a Proline, so anything that cuts wake, goes fast and helps us bring in the fish works for me!

    BOAT ME! It’s a tie between kayak and cruise – drastically different, I know – but both are trips I’ve been wanting to plan for a while now!
