365-The research vessel Aranda IMG_0519

I went to Länsisatama (Western Harbour) in Helsinki to meet some bookcrossers. One came from USA to visit home and another was going to Tallinna in Estonia by boat.
This research vessel Aranda in quite famous in Finland. It belongs to The Finnish Environment Institute.

You have a wonderful hobby and meeting those "counterparts" is certainly rewarding.
My husband was one summer on Aranda as an young student long long time ago and after that he did not bear any smell of Baltic herring :)
They make on Aranda very important work .

I'd love to visit Aranda some day.

Ok, I'll go to Kukontori again tomorrow to see if Bubi is there:) Above Etola. About 5 pm.

This is a GREAT shot! GREAT shot! I love to follow freighters, and research vessels, and navy ships, in the Great Lakes! One of my past times!
