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!

Rebecca says
BOAT ME! Whitewater rafting! Just kidding. I’d probably be too skurred.
Christine says
BOAT ME!!!!!! I love water skiing, that’s my favorite to get on a boat. BUT my BIL bought a sail boat last summer so I’ll probably venture out on that this year.
Ruth P. says
BOAT ME! Maybe a cruise, someday.. maybe!
Aimee says
BOAT ME!
My favorite kind of boat is a canoe! Just me, my man and our pup, makes for the best day ever! Thanks and happy new year.
Tara says
BOAT ME!
Houseboat. All the comforts of home, being rocked to sleep by the waves. And those travel cruises through Europe look pretty darn cool, too.
Haley Y says
BOAT ME!
I’m a fan of kayaking in the summer. Through the lagoons, in the sunshine, so relaxing. :)
Rachel says
Boat Me!!! I would love to take a sailing and scuba diving trip through the galapagos islands

Sarah J. says
BOAT ME!
i’m not a big fan of boats but the husband and kiddos love water sports, so for me it’s a little speed boat, good for tubing and wake boarding.
susan says
BOAT ME!
My late dad built a 16′ cabin cruiser back in the day-we used it to go fishing in the Great South Bay off Long Island for many years…would love to win this, and have that reminder :)
Esther says
BOAT ME! I’d go out on my husband’s Lowe bass fishing boat:) I love fishing with him, particularly when I catch the bigger fish!
Maria says
Boat me! My husband would love a sailboat, or a houseboat. Not really my style though, I’m an indoor cat.
Brandi says
BOAT ME! If I had to go on a boat it would be something of luxury and big enough to not be too bumpy or rocky!

Boat me!! I’ve been on too many ferries but never a luxury cruise ship! I would really like to go soon.
Mary says
Boat me! While I love a serene float in a kayak, my favorite time was spent on a sailboat with my bf in the Chesapeake. I’d love to be right back there basking in the sun at this very moment.
Andrea says
BOAT ME!
I’m not a big boat person, I’m happier by land or air. My hubby wants a sailboat of his own though, so I’m guessing you would find me on board there :)
Nicole says
BOAT ME! I love a nice quiet canoe ride.
Amanda says
BOAT ME! Please! These are gorgeous. I would venture out onto calm seas on a stand up paddle board. I’ve always wanted to try it. I’ve surfed before, which is not easy. And paddle boarding looks like something I could tackle. I know, it’s not technically a boat, but in the same spirit.
Breeanna says
BOAT ME! I want to go on a fancy yacht!
LeAnna says
BOAT ME!! If I could have any choice, I would choose a luxury yacht and sail around the Galapagos Islands…and all the Greek Islands as well….one can dream right?? :-)

BOAT ME! A luxury yacht is my idea of the ultimate vacation.
kathleen says
BOAT ME!
If on a river, in a canoe. If on the sea, a sailboat will do.
Anne Weber-Falk says
BOAT ME!! I would like a nice sailboat or better yet a pontoon boat. I suppose a sailboat is more romantic but then I would need a crew to help with the sailing. I would do either.
Keri C says
BOAT ME!
If I had to venture out on a boat, any boat would do
But if i got to choose, I would truly prefer a canoe!
My hubby and I just received your new book as a Christmas gift because we just purchased our first home. Looking forward to trying out many of those tips and projects in the New Year!
Cheers!

BOAT ME!
I would definitely want to go on some sort of luxury yacht that sleeps somewhere around 20 – like the ones Beyonce vacation on… or are parked in Lake Washington outside the homes of folks like Paul Allen. Would be fun…!
