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! We are water people and have dreams of living on a sail boat one day. I’ve already got my “if I win the lottery” boat picked out!

    BOAT ME!!!

    This is a hard one….on one hand, having grown up alongside the Mississippi, I have a wonderful fondness for houseboats. It’s so relaxing to fall asleep in one.

    But I love to row, so if I had my choice I would probably want a canoe. Not a metal one, but a nice old-fashioned Native American style dugout canoe. I got to row in one once and it was the best day on the river ever!

    Boat Me!
    I would love to go on a cruise, but being on a boat in the ocean scares me…just a little. I will take a fun boat on a lake any day though!

    BOAT ME!! We live & vacation on Lake Erie, and either the Lake Erie map or The Great Lakes would be perfect for my husband. They are beautiful! As for the boat I am still on the fence about that whole thing!

    BOAT ME!

    I like pretty much all types of boats and have been on or operated a very wide variety of them. I’m a big fan of kayaks and sailboats, though.

    BOAT ME!

    I know it’s not technically a boat, but I’m currently loving stand up paddleboarding. Mostly because it’s the perfect “boat” to beat the heat in the summer along with having enough room for my dog to ride on the front.

    BOAT ME! While I thinks these maps are amazing, boats are not my thing–more specifically, open water is not my thing. I can barely watch movies or tv shows where they’re out in the ocean. Gives me the heebs.

    BOAT ME! I don’t enjoy being out on the ocean/ losing sight of the shore. I would love to rent a houseboat, perhaps on a canal in Amsterdam…

    BOAT ME! Probably a kayak…definitely not a sailboat! The last time I was on one my husband dumped my off the side and into the ocean!

    Boat me! I grew up on my dad’s commercial fishing boat, but I would totally love to spend more time on sailboats. A tall ship trip would be so cool!
