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! My daly has a sailboat already but it’s ion the Chesapeake bay. I think I’d want a catamaran in the Virgin Islands/Caribbean!
rebecca w says
BOAT ME! I would do a cruise with just my husband. We got back from one recently that we did with friends and it was hectic. I need a vacation from my vacation now.
Cynthia says
Boat Me!! I would love to go kayaking.

Kristin (Aust) says

Lauren says
Boat Me! A fun speed boat.

BOAT ME! I would love a sailboat!
Meredith Jones says
BOAT ME
I have a small obsession with BIG BOATS. Like… cargo ships. I live in Seattle, and see them allll the time, but I’m enthralled by them! They’re so huge. At the same time, I’m not a big water person, so I think I’d rather just take a tour of a huge cargo ship in the dock, then get me butt back on dry land :)
Meghan says
Boat me! I would be out on a lake in a kayak!
delynne says
BOAT ME! A Pontoon party boat would be my choice :)
Sally says
Boat me! A cruise would be nice, Caribbean!
Mrs. LIAYF says
Oooooohhh! I would love this! BOAT ME!
Our home overlooks the Salish Sea, which contains Puget Sound (the. At next to Seattle, for the non-native). It is home to Orca pods, hand-made wooden boats and several native tribes. I love the nearness of the water – the fog and pearlescent light and the sound of the waves. We are far enough North that we once saw the Northern Lights from our back yard. I would love any of these posters!
Lindsay says
BOAT ME! I’d go on a canoe with the dogs, who would probably tip it over.
Shanna says
BOAT ME! love sailboats!
Kelli says
BOAT ME! I would love a nice long canoe trip (maybe in a few months when it’s not so frigid)
sap says
BOAT ME!! Kayaks on one of the Great Lakes would be my choice, and now that I have family building in that region I might just get to try it!
Kate says
BOAT ME! I love the water but I get seasick, so I’d opt for a luxury cruise.
Marsha says
BOAT ME! I do small boats, on lakes. I love the water, and was born on a small Island, but I get seasick. I’ve never tried a cruise, so I don’t know if I could handle that or not, but Ferry rides and Jamaican party boats I know make me ill! And it wasn’t the rum from that party boat that did me in!
Thanks again for the opportunity to win another great prize!
Laura J says
BOAT ME! I love any kind of boat. We’re planning a white water rafting trip for this spring!
Mrs. Jones says
BOAT ME!
I’d love to take a cruise one day! I’m a tad scared of water, especially deep water, where there is no land in sight! But… I like the tropics alot, so I might make an exception ;)
Lynne Hobbs says
BOAT ME!
In a canoe, please.
Susan M. says

My husband and I took an amazing 4 night trip on a racing through the Whitsunday Islands off the coast of Australia, unbelievable. Would do it again in a heartbeat.

Meghan says
BOAT ME!! Stick me on a sailboat with a mimosa any day!

Boat me!
Being a child of the prairies, I find oceans both scary and compelling, but I want a big ship between me and the deep blue. Like, cruise ship big.

BOAT ME!

Boat me!
A sailboat for sure. Kayaking is fun but takes strong abs! Ouch!

Cari says
Boat me! I’ll take any boat, as long as it’s not in choppy water.

BOAT ME!
A house boat, no doubt!
cp says
Boat me!
Since I get seasick, it would have to be a huge boat that feels like I’m on land.
Carissa says
Boat me! I love kayaks but a cruise through the Mediterranean would be nice if you’re going to give me an unlimited budget!
