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! I’ve always wanted to cruise the Alaskan shore, but I would also love to take a boat through the PAnama Canal!

    BOAT ME! A comfortable trawler is my choice, you toddle along and enjoy the scenery and it’s large enough for my husband, two black labs, and a friend or two.

    Happy New Year to you!

    “Boat Me”

    I would love to try houseboat living! Not a fan of cruises, mostly because I’m paranoid of everyone getting sick.

    BOAT ME! I’ll admit I have a fear of being out on a boat over very deep water. Blame it on the Titanic movie.

    BOAT ME! We both grew up sailing. If we didn’t have to do the whole job thing we’d sell our stuff, buy a sailboat, and go on sailing adventures around the world. The boat, of course, would need to be outfitted with a mini-lawn for the dog.

    BOAT ME! I’d pick a speed boat in the sun on the lake with a wakeboard. And good friends of course.

    Boat me! If I had to venture out on a boat, it would be a glass bottom one. I have always loved tropical fish and marine mammals, and if you cannot swim with them, what a great way to view and admire them!

    “BOAT ME!”
    Working at the Nation’s Best Maritime College, Massachusetts Maritime Academy, I choose the Training Ship Kennedy. She is a 550′ vessel that travels every January and February with 600 college students and another 100 personnel. This year we head to New Orleans, Aruba, Bahamas, and Jamaica.
    Thanks for the contest!

    BOAT ME! We own a speed boat and I’ve spent lots of summers on it. I love it. And I’d take that over a big cruise ship any day. =)

    BOAT ME! Please! I’d be on the ferry to Martha’s Vinyard. Oh how I love that island, especially in June before the tourists take over.

    BOAT ME! I would love any boat. Sailing a large old fashioned sail boat around the Caribbean sounds lovely.

    BOAT ME! if I had to venture out on a boat, I would love to take peaceful ride on a glass bottomed boat, in the Caribbean – imagine the sea life!
