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!

    Different boats for different occasions? I love kayaking but a houseboat is great for a week of swimming and lounging, and I also wouldn’t say no to a cruise.

    Boat me!!! I would live on a houseboat on Seattle’s Lake Union, with kayaks on the deck ready to explore Puget Sound. Waking up to the sound of gulls in the morning, a cup of Seattle’s Best coffee and a view of its beautiful downtown would be all the inspiration I would need to begin anew each day.

    Boat me! My ideal water-going vessel is one that remains solidly attached to a dock and houses large amounts of alcohol. My husband, however, is convinced that boats are excellent and that we need to sail the world. I have a sinking (a pun!) feeling that I’m going to end up on the open water in a vessel vulnerable to sharks, pirates and mermen. I’ll be the one vomiting off the side. That said, my husband would love this item. We’re both map/globe freaks and this would fit wonderfully in our work-in-progress house.

    Boat Me!!!! I am about to put an offer on a Cape Cod bungalow! I think the map would be perfect for my cottage! I would love to have a sailboat!

    Boat me. My choices are between two extremes. I’d love to go on a luxury cruise, but I also LOVE white water rafting on that little bitty raft.

    BOAT ME!!
    I’ve never been on a cruise so that would be very exciting, but I also love taking a kayak out and being so close to the water.

    Happy New Year, Petersiks!!

    I would love to sail around the world to see the great sights of world from the ocean. I want to see Sydney Harbor. I also long for the mini universe the sailboat would create.

    BOAT ME! I would enjoy any boat taking me around Sanibel Island! A yacht on the gulf side, and a kayak on the bay side would work. Happy New Year!

    “BOAT ME!” I’d sail around Long Island on a private yacht and introduce my family to the wondrous place I grew up.

    I’d take a cruise anytime, anywhere (I hope that doesn’t sound desperate:)

    Thanks and happy New Years!

    A houseboat for me, definitely. My father-in-law has one, and we have been on it a few times. We love it! This map would make a great thank you gift to him!

    BOAT ME! The size of the boat would depend on the size of the body of water I’m venturing into. That said, I would love to do another cruise, not sure where, maybe the Mediterranean. I hear Greece is gorgeous!
