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 would probably choose a day out on a kayak (we haven’t gone much since having kids) although an Alaskan cruise is definitely on my bucket list. Happy New Year, YHL!

    BOAT ME! We had a small pontoon boat one summer when I was a kid and I loved it. We called it the Lily Pad and it didn’t go very fast at all, but made enough waves to go tubing.

    BOAT ME PLEASE!! I LOVE maps, and I would love to have one of these! I actually worked as a geographer before becoming a SAHM, and this would be a great addition to my house! As for boats, Hubby and I used to do a lot of kayaking before baby came along…would love to get back to that some day.

    I love kayaking, but my favorite boat trips are the ones with Project Oceanography, which are research trips run by our local aquarium. I took my nephew on one and we had so much fun digging through the sea mud and learning about the ecology of the sea!

    I love going out on the lake in a canoe. So peaceful to listen to the water against the oars as we paddle. I need to do that again when things thaw out.

    Boat me! We gave up boating when our son was born but hope to get a boat soon now that the kids can swim! We’re more the cruisers type.

    We go on a yearly camping trip on an island that we have to canoe to – and pile all our stuff in the canoe! – it’s my favorite thing, the canoeing :)
