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! Luxury cruise sounds great – but only if I’m not the one paying for it! ;)
Courtney K. says
BOAT ME!!
I would love to go on a fancy schmancy yacht…just because I would like to say “Oh I remember this one time on the yacht…” (followed by rich person laughter-“har-har-har”).
I even have a yacht outfit in mind already- navy striped shirt dress with a bold kelly green cable knit schweather tied around my shoulders. YES PLEASE!!

Boat me!!
I would go with the luxury cruise line. The bigger the boat, the less you feel the movement. I think my stomach would appreciate that.
Rachel G. says
BOAT ME! I know I’m late (Sad) but I had to enter the drawing because two of the three pictures posted are very special to me: One, San Juan Island, is where my husband proposed. Two, Martha’s Vineyard, is where we honeymooned.
So if I were to take a boat trip, I would love to be back on a ferry in Puget Sound. My husband and I play cards or dice and just enjoy the scenery (and Orcas!).

We’ve been a boat family all my life so just put me out on a lake or river and I’m great in just about anything!

BOAT ME!! Currently have kayaks so I’d definitely upgrade to sailboat ;)

BOAT ME! My dad started houseboating on Lake Powell when he was a kid the year it opened; we go every year and it’s our happy place. For Christmas my parents gave my husband a giant framed print of the lake from their favorite photographer.
