I was lucky to catch this beauty here because she only operates in the triangle (Pico - Horta - S. Jorge) but this time the case was different. She made a voyage to Terceira island to go the drydock to some repairs/maintance (?).  

This old and small vessel was built in 1968 in Norway had the names (Terningen - Gulfjell - Gulfjord) before beeing adquired by this operator and renamed Cecília A.
