During the National Day, there were many more tourists on the island.
After breakfast, Chen Yuan and the others went home, changed their clothes, took their windsurfing boards and went to the beach.
Chen Yuan moved his body and watched Yan Xiaoxi and the others making preparations for sailing. Zhou Sheng, Zhou Lan, and Chen Xin came over together.
"Brother, sister-in-law." Chen Xin shouted with a smile.
Having been called sister-in-law several times, Yan Xiaoxi finally felt no embarrassment and agreed with a smile, then looked at Chen Yuan: "Can we go to Wok Island by sailing?"
"Yes." Before Chen Yuan could answer, Chen Xin said first, "I have been to Wok Island once before."
"Wok Island is a bit far, how long will it take?" He Huan asked.
"Forty-five minutes." Chen Xin said.
If the wind direction is good, you can reach Wok Island in about half an hour.
"Let's go to Wok Island and come back." Yan Xiaoxi suggested.
"Okay." Zhou Sheng started assembling the windsurfing board and said with a smile: "Whatever sister-in-law says will be whatever it is."
Chen Yuan went back to the car and took the life jacket over, waiting for Yan Xiaoxi and the others to put on the life jackets before setting off.
For windsurfing, the wind direction is good most of the time during the day.
During the day, sea breeze blows from the ocean to the land.
When you come to the sea, open the sail. The wind blows in your face, passing through the sail to form a vortex, pushing the sail board.
Yan Xiaoxi and the others had not touched the windsurfing board for a long time, and their hands felt a lot unfamiliar. After finding the stress angle of the sail surface, the windsurfing board started running.
After going out to sea, Chen Yuan pressed the sail and followed Yan Xiaoxi and the others not far away.
Four girls, after they found their skills, they started chasing each other.
Chen Yuan and Zhou Sheng have been moving in an 'S' shape.
"Old far away." Zhou Sheng shouted.
"What are you doing?" Chen Yuan leaned towards Zhou Sheng.
"After we divide the money, we will buy a new fishing boat." Zhou Sheng said.
"Why did you buy so much?" Chen Yuan said.
"The adaptability of the current fishing boat is too poor." Zhou Sheng complained: "The comfort is even worse."
"Don't you want to buy a sailboat? Why do you suddenly want to buy a fishing boat?" Chen Yuan asked.
"I will buy a sailboat when I have money later. I really need to replace my fishing boat. I can drive my current fishing boat to the open sea. It's fine for a few days. But if it lasts longer, it will be really uncomfortable." Zhou Sheng said: "I'm a little bit
I can’t bear it.”
Zhou Sheng also suddenly thought of changing to another boat.
The current fishing boat costs 1.61 million yuan.
13.7 meters, the engine has 420 horsepower, and the maximum speed can reach 30 knots. As you can imagine, the weight of this fishing boat...
A fishing boat with a simple structure, a large deck area and a small cabin space.
Although the fishing boat is equipped with a gyro stabilizer, when it goes to the open sea, it shakes violently when the waves are slightly bigger. To be honest, after using it for such a long time, Chen Yuan also feels that the Shengyuan is not suitable for Category II navigation areas.
When Chen Yuan first bought it, he was mainly interested in the Shengyuan's engine, which was an imported Yanmar engine. Then there was the structural layout of the Shengyuan...
Unless it is a professional fishing boat of the same level, it is difficult to find a fishing boat with similar fuel consumption as the Shengyuan.
The Shengyuan is too light and the waterline is very shallow. If it is an offshore fishing boat equipped with a stabilizer, the Shengyuan can be said to be quite perfect. But when going to the open sea, especially if you have to stay on the boat for a long time, it is extremely poor.
Adaptability is literally killing people.
I went to Nansha before and the sea conditions were bad.
Yang Xun and He Fei couldn't bear it anymore after a few days.
Zhou Sheng also developed some symptoms of seasickness and suffered for several days. However, his symptoms were very mild and he recovered quickly after the sea conditions improved.
Zhou Sheng is now thinking about going to sea after the National Day, still on the Shengyuan, which makes him feel uncomfortable. It is a double torture, both physical and psychological...
…
Chen Yuan felt that Zhou Sheng was acting like a monster again.
The Shengyuan is 13.7 meters long, so this fishing boat is not too small. Although, it is very uncomfortable to stay on the Shengyuan for more than ten days, but it will be over after a while.
Zhou Sheng's body is stronger than an ox, will he not be able to bear it?
Having been on board the Shengyuan for more than ten days, Chen Yuan just felt that the cabin was too small and it was a bit depressing to spend time on it, that's all.
It feels depressing. One is the bad sea conditions. The other is that the cabin space of the fishing boat is too small, especially the sleeping cabin. It doesn't feel good for a short time, but after a long time, it becomes a bit uncomfortable.
However, having been on an ocean-going fishing vessel for many years, the problems of the Shengyuan were nothing to Chen Yuan.
Yan Xiaoxi and the others controlled the windsurfing board and ran a long way.
Chen Yuan adjusted the angle of the sail, tilted his body slightly, and the sail seemed to be gliding on the sea. The speed was more than twice as fast, and he soon caught up with Yan Xiaoxi and the others.
You can already see Wok Island.
As time goes by, Wok Island gets closer and closer.
Chen Yuan and Zhou Sheng landed on the island first...
"Why do you suddenly think of buying another fishing boat?" Chen Yuan asked.
"Don't you think this fishing boat is not suitable for traveling in the open sea?" Zhou Sheng said: "In the open sea, the wind and waves are slightly stronger, and the fishing boat will be bumpy. What's more, the sleeping cabin is divided into upper and lower floors...
…I feel very uncomfortable after being on the boat for a long time.”
As a good gay friend, Chen Yuan knew from Zhou Sheng's facial expression that he was not acting like a monster this time, but was really feeling uncomfortable.
"How big do you want to buy?" Chen Yuan asked.
"The size is second, and the most important thing is the layout of the fishing boat. The bedroom should be larger," Zhou Sheng said.
Shengyuan is a professional fishing boat, and the whole design idea is to facilitate fishing. The control cabin and bedroom of the fishing boat are in the middle area of the deck, and there are aisles on both sides of the cabin... This makes the internal space of the fishing boat very small.
The living space inside the cabin of the Shengyuan is not even as large as that of a trolling boat over eight meters long.
"Buy another one. What will this fishing boat be used for now?" Chen Yuan said.
"Leave it to Chen Xin and the others to run it." Zhou Sheng said: "If I drive the Shengyuan out to find fish again, I will probably become depressed after a long time."
The Shengyuan fishing boat, not counting other things, just the cost of docking and maintenance at the fishing port, which costs nearly 100,000 yuan a year.
The bigger the ship, the higher the various costs.
If it is a large-cabin fishing boat, such as a large-cabin fishing boat with a length of eight or nine meters, the annual fixed cost is nearly 100,000 yuan. Even larger, a large-cabin fishing boat with a length of 14 to 15 meters will cost 200,000 yuan a year.
Fixed expenses of around 10,000 yuan.
This is still anchored in the fishing port, not at the yacht pier.
If you park at a marina, the cost will be even higher.
Chen Yuan thought for a while and said: "We will see how much money we can get this time. If we buy it, we must buy a better boat."
Zhou Sheng smiled and made an OK gesture, and said: "We are fishing by ourselves now. If we are lucky, we can make money back by going to sea. If it is not possible, we will sink the bottom seine net a few times."
"It's not like you can build a bottom-sinking fence if you want." Chen Yuan looked down upon Zhou Sheng.
There are also many restrictions on large-area sunken fences.
For example, in the sea area where Chen Yuan and his friends sank their nets before, it would take more than half a year to return to the previous fish density.
To sink the bottom seine, you need to find a suitable terrain and there are fish nearby.
Before Chen Yuan chose the sea area where he would sink the net, he had first used drone remote sensing to conduct reconnaissance.
