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!
Does a jet ski count as a boat? :)

Boat me! All boats require heavy medication when you’re prone to seasickness – and they all look remarkably similar when I’m hanging over the rail…

Boat me! We’re regular sailors, racing a 26 foot keel boat. Nothing’s more exciting than a crowded starting line with all the boats jockeying for position. Love it!

BOAT ME! My husband and I love our canoe (Old Town Guide 147) and have taken many daytrips with it, as well as a couple of canoeing-camping trips on Lake Champlain in the Burlington (VT) area. Awesome times and I can’t think of a better person to be with.
We also spent an amazing couple days on Martha’s Vineyard (so this really made my heart sing!) with bicycles and our tent. We took the bikes over on the ferry out of Woods Hole (MA) and toodled all around the island. Such great memories, thanks!!
