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!

    OMG, this would be the PERFECT prize to win. We’ve put in an offer on a home in a water-oriented community and my grandfather was a waterman. I am having one of his nautical clocks restored and I could use this to add an additional layer of “nautical chic” to the decor!

    To answer the question tho…I’d give anything to have one more chance to relax aboard “Miss Myrtle”. That was my grandpa’s boat name. So many great memories!

      Wow, and they have done the Chesapeake which are the waters we’ll live on and my Gpa navigated. So awesome, even if I don’t win I’ll probably buy! :o)

    BOAT ME! I’d have to choose my sea kayak. It lets me get into small places and little channels where a sailboat can’t go.

    BOAT ME! I would love to take a week long cruise on a luxury sailboat with Windjammer. The thought of sleeping to the rocking of the waves….swimming in a secluded cove…enjoying a fresh caught seafood gourmet meal. Hope I win a map so I can dream of my cruise.

    BOAT ME!!!! Both hubby and I are active duty in the Navy so being on a boat for fun is not our idea of, well, fun! If I had to choose though, I think a luxery cruise would be awesome!

    BOAT ME!!! If I had to venture out on a boat my choice would be a cruise ship where I could relax and enjoy myself and leave the other work up to the captain and staff. That’s my kinda boat.

    Boat me! I’d take a sailboat cruise through the Great Lakes and out the Saint Lawrence seaway and visit my relatives who live along that route.

    Boat ME! My fiance and I love to go out in Boston Harbor on a fishing boat! But if I had my choice, I think I could manage a little yacht trip every once in a while!

    BOAT ME! If I had to pick, I’d go on a luxury cruise. I’ve never been on a cruise before, and I find smaller boats claustrophobic.

    (P.S. In the unlikely chance that I win, this prize is going to my brother, who is a professional cartographer.)

    I would choose a sailboat. I went to sailing camp as a kid, and although I haven’t been out in years I’d love to try it again.

    BOAT ME! We live right on the ocean (quite close to Martha’s Vineyard as a matter of fact!), so if I had to go out on a boat, I’d go out on one of the local sailboats to look at our beloved coast from a different angle!

    BOAT ME!! I’d love to take a ride out on a catamaran in Hawaii. Unfortunately we didn’t get the chance the last time we were there, and I’m so sad we missed out!
