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!

Erin says
BOAT ME – I’d love to venture out in a sailboat.

BOAT ME!
After watching Sleepless in Seattle, I’ve been wanting to pack up my bags and move up north into a houseboat aka floating home. I wouldn’t mind a nice yacht, either!

BOAT ME!
My favorite is a speed boat – especially when you can drive it up to my favorite seafood joint!

Elizabeth F says
BOAT ME!
My husband’s family has a 30ft. sailboat, which I get seasick on all the time. Therefore, I would prefer a much bigger ship, like a cruise to someplace warm :)
andrea @ my kinda perfect says
BOAT ME!
I went on a rather large boat, my first cruise this past year. I also grew up spending summers on a lake, so I know my way around a paddleboat or my parents party barge. =)
Zabeth says
Boat me! If I were to go out on a boat it would either be a normal lake boat for water skiing and wake boadring or a live aboard scuba boat. But I do love a cruise ship too.
jill says
BOAT ME! Sailboat please!
Catherine says
Boat me!!! A catamaran in Corsica, or a houseboat in the Netherlands!

BOAT ME! A sea kayak through the Apostle Islands!
Erin says
BOAT ME!
I have always wanted to travel the world on a boat a la Romancing the Stone (or, I guess, there is more about their boating in the sequel, Jewel of the Nile).
