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’d love to say luxury all the way, but if I were being a good wife, then I’d say a sailboat. My husband has long dreamed of sailing around the world…with me by his side, of course.

    Thanks for the giveaway!

    Those are beautiful.

    The only boat that is my nightmare in the tippy kind. I am ridiculously afraid of being dumped in the water.

    Any day on the lake is a good day. I don’t care if it’s in a kayak or on a yacht; I love being on the water. I can’t think of a better way to spend a summer day!

    While I am not a fan of small boats, I love big ol’ cruise ships. And after seeing a couple that lived on a house boat on a show (I think it was “Eating the Enemy”), the Hubster and I have been seriously discussing that as the next living arrangement. Now,we can do the fixer-upper-ing on the house part, but where do we find a CHEAP houseboat that doesn’t need ANY work on the boat part? Craigslist, here I come!

    Thank bunches and Happy New Year!

    The irony of this post is that I just sent in my application for a teacher program at sea on board a vessel that studies ocean sediment cores. So the current answer is a research vessel! After May is over, I’ll go for a small sailboat or a speed boat to waterski!

    I would love to rent a houseboat for the whole summer and float along Amsterdam canals, and up through French wine country.

    Sailboat, to relive an amazing summer spent learning how to sail off Vashon Island in Washington. But truly, if I’m on the water I’m happy :)

    So, we are actually watching Narnia, Voyage of the Dawn Treader, as I checked your site! Our daughter informed ys that she wants a Dragon Boat. Happy New Year!

    BOAT ME! On a sailboat in the San Juan Islands … where my husband (a die-hard sailor) and I spent our honeymoon!

    BOAT ME! I’d like to be gently lulled to sleep on a houseboat on an English river. Before I drifted off to sleep in the moments just before dark I’d hear the last tweets of the blackbirds and water-hens and the first hoots of the owl.

    Happy New Year

    Boat me! :) It would be a catamaran I think. They’re pretty smooth, and I get seasick on smaller boats.

    Boat me! My favourite kind of boats are by far sailboats. I went on vacation with a couple of friends on a small sail boat in Greece last year, and since then it’s been my dream to own one of these babies myself one day…

    I love a kayak, personally, and have actually been kayaking around the San Juan island featured in the small picture on the left!
