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 used to love going out on the Great Lakes in my grandpa’s sailboat. I’d love to go out sailing again now that I’m older!

    Considering my husband is currently serving onboard an aircraft carrier, I would choose to join him! We’ve been apart for 9 months. :(

    I’d do a houseboat for sure. My husband’s family used to rent one each summer and go boating and playing around Bass Lake. We’re planning on restarting this tradition next summer!

    I think a Disney cruise with the fan would be fun! And of course a luxury cruise would be amazing too!

    I love kayaking and I’d go back to a bioluminescent bay in Puerto Rico to do it again any day of the week.

    BOAT ME! Top 2 picks – going on a long tail boat in Thailand with the natives OR going on a fishing trip in the Chesapeake Bay. Vastly different and both totally amazing!

    BOAT ME! A house boat would be a fun place for family and friends to gather on during the weekend. A speed boat would be a fun ‘play’ boat to water ski, knee-board, and tube behind but wouldn’t hold as many people. So I guess I would want a speed boat and a house boat. But a jet ski would be fun to just zip around on. Hmm. Decisions, decisions.

    Those maps are amazing! Wow!

    I’d love to go kayaking in the coves of La Jolla with my husband. A great work out – i have some baby weight to work off – and a fun experience with my love in the great outdoors.

    BOAT ME! I would opt for the sailboat, I would hate to get stranded somewhere without fuel so I could just go ahead and use the sails…. Granted I’d have to learn how to sail one first…

    I live less than a mile away from Mississippi in Minnesota, and almost everyone here has boats. Summers here are spent on the river!

    A Sail boat tour would be great! My parents have been taking sailing/catamaran lessons in the BVI in hopes that they can retire and become pirates of the caribbean. Their pics make me jealous!

    Boat me! I’m dying to go to sailing around the Caribbean right now. My in laws have been on several sailing vacations, and their stories are amazing. The 2 feet of snow outside my door has me itching for sand, water, and sunshine, too.
