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! Oooh, maybe a houseboat in Amsterdam? That could be fun – but no boats out in the deep sea for me.

Amber Brownie says
BOAT ME!!!!! I would love love love to go out in a Currach, a traditional irish fishing boat, for a day on Galway Bay in Ireland. I have been to Ireland twice and have been during some of the nastiest months for weather (Feb & Nov). I was promised by friend to go out on the bay for the day however the weather was pretty wild and it wouldn’t be safe. Someday!!!!! They say in Ireland if you can see the hills across Galway Bay then it means it’s going to rain, and if you can’t see the hills across Galway Bay it means it’s raining :) Thanks for all you do! Love you guys!!!!
