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’m probably ridiculous, but I’ve had a thing for houseboats for a couple years. My fiancé really isn’t into it though, so that mightn’t be the very best of all possible ideas. Maybe I could convince him?

BOAT ME!! We’ve been wanting to do a cruise of Atlantic Canada for a while.
Shannon says
Boat me!
Every summer, our family goes to Plymouth, MA and go out on our friend’s fishing boat. We go to “our beach” which is only there during low tide. We stay all day until the tide comes back and the boat can float again. However, I would loooove to go on a luxury cruise!

BOAT ME!
I have to admit, after watching so much Masterpiece Theatre, that I want to go on a Viking river cruise :D My idea of a cool cruise would not be the Caribbean, but Alaska or Russia or Euro coast. Give me cold, wet and scenic views any day over sunburn and tropical heat.
My husband is such a map nerd, this would be the coolest decoration

Kristin P. says
Boat me! As long as it is bigger than a kayak and not powered by me! That didn’t go too well…
