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!

Sarah says
BOAT ME!
I’d love to take off on adventure in a sail boat!
Sarah says
BOAT ME!!!
Any boat will work for me! I was raised going on fishing trips with my dad in a 14′ aluminum boat, I’m not picky, just love being on the water!
Susanna says
BOAT ME!! If I didn’t have the worst case of motion sickness, I would love to travel the world in a sail boat. Unfortunately, since I do – it’d probably be my worst nightmare!
Happy New Year!

Kelli says
Boat Me! Luxury cruise for me!

Rebecca Atkinson says
Boat me…luxury cruise all the way!
Shareen says
We just moved from Vancouver Island to the prairies and I miss the ocean. One of my favourite times was ocean kayaking and seeing sea lions frolic around us and orcas about 150 feet away (amazing, but scary!). Kayaking makes you feel so close to everything.

Boat me!! :) A canoe in a quiet river. :)
Katie C says
boat me!!
Put me on a well-trimmed 420 (a two-person dinghy used in college racing) and I will be the happiest camper… or sailor, I guess. Small boat sailing is so much fun, it’s a shame I’m studying in Central Illinois with no usable water anywhere near :(
Sarah says
boat me –
hmmm… a house boat – I’d want to take it all with me!
Jenn says
BOAT ME!
ONLY a kayak. Too many people go “missing” on those cruise ships!

Boat Me!! I did crew in college, and would love to try out a single or double-skull boat again someday!
Jessica says
BOAT ME! A kayak will do nicely, on calm waters… :)
Isha says
Boat Me!
Luxury Cruise for sure.. but after seeing The life of Pie.. maybe that’s not such a great idea.. whatsays?? BTW.. Here’s wishing all four of you a very Happy, prosperous and healthy New year!
Nicole G K says
BOAT ME! Cruise would be great! And I’ve always found the thought of a houseboat fascinating! But I would more likely be found in a canoe.
Lindsey says
BOAT ME!
My first choice would be a yacht somewhere near Corsica. A very close second would be my dad’s boat, fishing in Southeast Alaska. :)
And a Happy New Year to you!
Robin McGonigle says
BOAT ME!
I love going to lake on ANY boat….but for actual traveling, boats scare me. If I can’t see any land; I’m scared.
Molly says
BOAT MEEEEEEEEEEE!
It would be fun to be in a sailboat to go anywhere – a cruise would be awesome to Alaska though…
