This is "Gunilla," the ship on which students at Öckerö Gymnasieskola do frequent trips during their three years.
Anna, December '24, very pregnant and ready to get this over with...
I surprised my grand niece Signe, "Ziggy," by showing up in Paramaribo, Surinam, when she and "Gunilla" arrived there for a three-day visit.
Ziggy wanted "real food" after a month of ship fare across the Atlantic, so we sampled "local food!" 🤣

On the 10th of December, Baby Riley arrives in a text-book perfect delivery 🥰
Catherine planned to retire in 2025, so in November '24, we downsized to one car, returning this leased fun-machine. She then accepted an offer to work for another year... I have been sans auto since and really miss this beauty 😬
