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! So fun. I’ve had the privilege of a large variety of boating experiences, but I think that my favorite is still paddleing a canoe or kayak on a quite lake. I would love to win one of these for my parents’ cottage on Lake Michigan.
Star says
Boat Me! I’ve done the cruise ship – very fun. But I think a sailboat would be a good adventure next!
Callie says
Boat me! My favorite boats are the ones big enough to avoid getting motion sick 0_o
Alicia says
“Boat me!” I have been on a kayak around Cape Cod, a cruise ship in the Mediterranean and sailed in the Caribbean. I would love sail around Puget Sound. Happy New Year!
Alauna South says
Boat me! Kayak for the win!
Maha says
Boat me!
I’m a pontoon boat kind of girl.

Boat me!! I would go back on a boat to the middle of Lake Titicaca Peru, and spend the night on Amantani Island under the most brilliant stars you have ever seen!

It would have to be a luxury cruise on a big boat, I get sea sick on small boats!

A plastic boat in an over sized tub full of bubbles! Love Cape Cod, swimming in water, but can’t get Kate and Leo out of my head if I lose sight of land… you know, Titanic… near, far…
Ashley R says
BOAT ME! Luxury cruise baby!
Abby Walters says
BOAT ME! Oh please, oh please. I’d give anything to be five years old again and spend time with my grandpa on his boat like we used to at his marina. I’d take the helm and he’d direct the cruise. Those were beautiful summers on the river. He’s too old now and I’m about to take one last trip to see him in PA this Thursday. His marina will never be the same without him, there, polo shirt and cap adorned with the lovely smelling cigar. Boats mean Grandpa. ALWAYS will. Having something awesome like this on the wall would be a beautiful reminder.
Rebecca A. says
BOAT ME! It would be a large sailboat with my dad at the helm.
Chrissy says
BOAT ME! We are a fishing family, so I grew up spending time on fishing boats off Long Island, and we now do most of our fishing in the Chesapeake. (Though I wouldn’t turn down a Caribbean cruise…)
Anna says
Boat Me!
My husband and I love sailing! We live near the Puget Sound and there are so many lovely places to moor and explore. Love your blog!

Jennifer S. says
Boat me! Sailboat…
Karen604 says
Boat Me!
I’m a sailboat sort of gal. I grew up in New England and the best of times were out in a sail boat. Alas living in land locked Colorado sea breezes are very far from my front door. My love of the sea is in my heart.

Jenny says
Boat me! I would love to go n a sailboat.
Jessica says
BOAT ME!!
Last time I was on a boat, we were in Maui on a snorkeling trip, and I got so sick that I had to hitch a ride back with another boat halfway through. Sooooo boats aren’t really my thing, I guess? But I do enjoy kayaking.
Lisa in Seattle says
Boat me! I would love to go on a small wildlife/nature cruise up the Inside Passage.
Happy New Year’s, Petersik clan!!!
Bonnie says
Boat me!
A rowboat will do! Just being on the water is relaxing enough!
Nicole says
Boat Me!
My husband loves maps of all kinds. Hopefully these guys will end up doing some more international pieces. I’d love to see something from NZ (where we honeymooned). Great gift idea!
