It is more than twenty nautical miles away from the coastline.
Yuanxing 55 stopped, turned on the stabilizer, and tested the stability of the fishing boat.
However, the wind is light today and the waves are also small.
Now it is of little reference significance to test the stability of the fishing boat.
In the rippling sea surface, you can't feel any shaking on the boat.
Chen Yuan and Zhou Sheng stood up and walked around the fishing boat.
"How do you feel?" Chen Yuan looked at Zhou Sheng.
Zhou Sheng nodded: "It's quite spacious. It feels much better than on the Shengyuan."
The front deck of the Far Star has a leisure function. There is a sunbathing platform just in front of the driver's cab. You can rest on it with soft cushions and a canvas can be propped up here for sunshade.
The area around the fishing boat can be used as a fishing area, and there are water pipes. After being connected to a water pump, seawater can be pumped up to clean the fish.
The important thing is that the space in the bow ice fish cabin is quite large.
This fishing boat has all the functions that a fishing boat should have, and even does it better.
The staff of the yacht yard opened a few bottles of champagne, poured them, and invited Chen Yuan and the others to come over for drinks and various desserts.
After staying at sea for half an hour, there were relatively large surges during the period, but the Yuanxing 55 was still as stable as an old dog.
Price aside, Chen Yuan can't fault it.
…
the next day.
The Xinhai's windlass was sent over.
Chen Yuan went over to take a look and called Zhou Sheng: "Hello, where are you?"
"Out fishing."
"With Chen Xin?"
"And my sister." Zhou Sheng said, "I called you, but you didn't come by yourself."
"Don't you think the cabin space of the Shengyuan is too small, especially the sleeping cabin? Do you want to remove the upper partition of the sleeping cabin?" Chen Yuan said.
"No. The space of this ship is small to begin with. The upper floor is reserved for sleeping berths. At least it can store some things. If there is no upper sleeping berth, it's not worth putting things like diving cylinders."
"Okay. That's it, hang up." Chen Yuan said and hung up the phone.
The shipyard is hoisting the winch, which is a winch that pulls the bottom frame of the tuna seine. It weighs several tons. From now on, the bottom frame of the seine can be dragged up only by the power of the winch, without the need for a crane.
However, the boom is also very important. It is used when catching fish and shrinking the net circle.
Good equipment can save a lot of time.
There are not particularly many fish schools in Xisha and Nansha. For common fish schools, it is considered good to catch several tons of fish in one net.
If the previous net-reeling speed of the Xinhai was followed, it would take more than ten hours to lower the net and collect the net, not including the time of catching fish. With their fishing boat configuration, they can only set one net a day. If no large fish schools are found,
, if you catch several tons of fish in one net, you will lose money unless it is a valuable fish.
Xinhai, Lixia, plus a fishing boat.
At sea, the cost for a day is more than 30,000 yuan, almost 40,000 yuan.
It took less than 20 days to go to sea, and the total cost was 767,000. In addition, Lin Xinhai paid for the food and other supplies on the ship alone.
Then there are the bonuses for the boatmen. This money was paid for by Lin Xinhai alone.
The Xinhai has been upgraded again. In the future, when encountering slightly smaller fish schools, you can also launch the net.
When going fishing at sea, you cannot place all your hopes on large schools of fish. If you can lower and close the net quickly, you can also catch smaller schools of fish.
Wang Peng and his shipyard only have three workers, one master and two apprentices.
After waiting for the machine to be put away, Chen Yuan got on the fishing boat: "Is there anything I need help with?"
"It's just to install the machine. We have enough manpower." Wang Peng said and walked over and handed Chen Yuan a cigarette: "Why didn't you go fishing?"
"I wanted to sleep in this morning, but I couldn't get up."
Lin Xinhai came over, and Chen Yuan and Zhou Sheng's parents were also here. They wanted to clean the fishing boat.
Chen Yuan, who had nothing to do, also went to the Lixia to help Lin Xinhai inspect and maintain the engine.
"Luo Laosi's fishing boat went out to sea again, heading straight to Xisha." Lin Xinhai said.
Chen Yuan nodded.
"He brought a fish aggregator this time. He said that if the harvest is not good, he asked you and Zhou Sheng to help build a bottom net, and you will share one-third of the fish caught." Lin Xinhai looked at Chen Yuan.
Chen Yuan shook his head and said with a smile: "It's just me and Zhou Sheng diving, it's too tiring. If we don't find the middle and upper fish schools, we can surround the bottom ourselves, so that Zhou Sheng and I can get 60%. Unless he is also willing.
Give us 60%, otherwise we won’t have anything to do.”
Lin Xinhai chuckled: "You share 60% of our own fleet, and you also bear 60% of the fuel costs and expenses."
"That's more cost-effective than just dividing it into one-third."
"I have a pretty good relationship with Luo Laosi. I told him to share half of the fish catch."
Chen Yuan thought about it for a few seconds: "Okay."
"After that, when sinking the seine net to the bottom, it is best to choose a water depth not exceeding 100 meters. The previous water depth was more than 150 meters, and the risk factor was too high." Lin Xinhai said: "Furthermore, you and Zhou Sheng must not be separated when underwater.
.”
Sinking seine nets places particularly high demands on divers. This work is also very dangerous...
Chen Yuan and Zhou Sheng have good water skills. Lin Xinhai is not worried if they are together. He is just afraid that they will act separately underwater.
"I know." Chen Yuan smiled and said, "I cherish my life more than anyone else."
After a busy day at the shipyard, Zhou Sheng and the others came back in the evening.
Chen Yuan, covered in oil, looked at Zhou Sheng and the others: "How many fish did we catch?"
"More than a dozen, not big in size."
"Is it enough for dinner?"
"One meal in the evening is enough." Zhou Sheng fixed the fishing boat.
Chen Xin and the others came over: "Are you going to have dinner at Sister Yue's place tonight?"
"The meal will be ready soon." Wang Peng shouted.
Chen Xin carried the fish and trotted to the restaurant of the shipyard. Lin Xiaoyue was making dinner...
"Sister Yue, do you want to make fish soup for the fish you caught today?"
Lin Xiaoyue looked at it and said, "I didn't catch any big fish today."
"It's getting harder and harder to catch fish now."
Lin Xiaoyue said with a smile: "That's right. There are fishing boats everywhere now. I heard that there are a lot of mudfish in the wind power generation group in Nanpeng."
"Go over and try another day."
"Is the meal ready?" Chen Yuan walked in.
"Immediately, make another fish soup and dinner is ready."
Chen Yuan went over and washed his hands and face, then came over to help set the table.
Chen Xin and the others are still processing fish.
Wang Peng took a shower and brought two dozen bottles of beer from the freezer: "Drink."
"Drink." Chen Yuan smiled.
Zhou Sheng came over to Chen Yuan's side and slumped down on the stool, looking at Chen Yuan's expression as if he was hopeless.
"What's wrong with you?"
Zhou Sheng leaned on Chen Yuan's shoulder as if he had no bones. This disgusted Chen Yuan and pushed him away: "My shoulder is also yours to lean on."
Zhou Sheng sighed, not even in the mood to argue with Chen Yuan.
"I'm tired of fishing." Wang Peng winked at Zhou Sheng.
Zhou Sheng nodded.
"You can't do it." Wang Peng laughed.
"You can't do it."
Lin Xiaoyue was busy on the kitchen counter, turned around and said: "My husband is very powerful."
Lin Xinhai just came over, looking embarrassed and coughing hard several times.
All of a sudden, there was laughter.
Chen Yuan also laughed and looked at Zhou Sheng: "You can't do it."
Zhou Sheng looked sad: "If I get too good, I'm afraid you'll hit me."
