While chatting, the fleet has sailed into Kiribati waters.
Luo Laosi looked at Chen Yuan: "What do you understand?"
Chen Yuan smiled and shrugged.
Lin Xinhai smiled and said: "Chen Yuan used to work as a consultant on the mothership of Dongjiang Fishery for half or more than half a year. Your departure from the mothership at that time should have something to do with Xiaohei."
Chen Yuan nodded: "There were many people on the mothership, and there were a few Green Hooks on it. I had a fight with them."
"Why haven't I heard you talk about this?" Zhou Sheng asked.
"You have a bad temper. I told you, how can this matter be resolved?" Lin Xinhai rolled his eyes.
Lin Xinhai didn't know the specific reason why Chen Yuan left the mothership and returned to the fishing boat to continue fishing. A large fleet has many fishing boats. On a single fishing boat, there are also a lot of people.
Chen Yuan had a relatively good relationship with everyone on the ship.
Not to mention Zhou Sheng, who talks much more than Chen Yuan.
I have been working on a ship for several years. On a ship, there are always a few people who have a particularly good relationship.
And Zhou Sheng's temper can be a bit messy sometimes. If he told Zhou Sheng, Zhou Sheng would definitely cause trouble.
"Xiao Hei is the son of a congressman. Do you have a good relationship with him?" Lin Xinhai asked.
"It's okay. The reason for the fight on the boat was because those green hooks bullied Zhang Hang and Xiao Hei. At that time, I shared a bedroom with Zhang Hang and Xiao Hei. I had a good relationship with Zhang Hang, and also with Xiao Hei.
The relationship with Hei is also good." Chen Yuandao.
At that time, Chen Yuan was an old crew member and Zhang Hang was a new crew member. He talked a lot and was still a curious baby. He would catch Chen Yuan and ask questions every day. Chen Yuan was quite patient. As we got along for a long time, the relationship got better.
However, after the fight, Chen Yuan returned to the fishing boat. After that, he heard that Zhang Hang had resigned.
Zhang Hang and Xiao Hei have a very good relationship.
Zhang Hang previously served as a translator and coordinator on the ship. Xiao Hei is an international student from China and is a classmate of Zhang Hang. After Zhang Hang entered Dongjiang Fishery, he introduced the company where Xiao Hei joined.
"Luo Hao said that Xiao Hei's father is a congressman. What does he mean?" Luo Laosi asked.
Lin Xinhai looked at Chen Yuan.
Chen Yuan shrugged, thought for a while, and said: "Through Xiao Hei's relationship, our fleet may be able to enter the atoll to fish."
“You can’t enter the atoll even if you have a fishing license?”
Lin Xinhaidao: "There are many atolls in the Pacific. Atolls form a circle called a lagoon. There are many coral reefs in the lagoon, and there are not only many fish in them, but also many high-value fish. The lagoon is the fishing operation area of the islanders, and foreign fishing boats
Usually fishing can only be done in the waters off the island.”
Tuvalu is also a small country, with an estimated population of just over 10,000.
in the country, economically developed villages are estimated to have tens of thousands of people.
Chen Yuan and others studied the eight-nation Nauru Agreement before setting off.
Tuvalu is a country that does not have a formally organized political party. Members of Parliament join forces to form a political group. There are about a dozen MPs, divided into two factions: the ruling party and the opposition.
The members are elected by the people for a term of 4 years. The speaker is elected by the members. The prime minister is elected by the members. There are six ministries under it. The prime minister selects ministers from among the members. The cabinet is responsible to the parliament. There is also a prosecutor general who is responsible for the government's legal affairs.
consultant.
Generally speaking, the two councilors on an island are either the president of the commune or a wealthy person on the island.
If foreign fishing boats want to enter the atoll to fish, they must obtain the consent of the commune, and may also need to pay the commune.
The exclusive economic zone is two hundred nautical miles.
The current speed of their fleet is only 10 knots, and they have entered the exclusive economic zone. They still have to travel for a day to reach Tarawa.
Tarawa is a triangular coral atoll in the Gilbert Islands, 148 km north of the equator in the central Pacific Ocean. About 185 km south of Makin Island, it is a group of atolls in Kiribati, commonly considered the country's capital. , but strictly speaking, the capital of Kiribati should be the South Tarawa region in the south.
Tarawa Atoll consists of 24 islands, 8 of which are inhabited, with a population of about 60,000 (data from many years ago).
In the middle is the lagoon.
The enclosed ones are called lagoons, and the unenclosed ones are called lagoons.
There are islands in the east and south, and continuous reefs in the west. There is a deep water channel leading to the lagoon in the middle. The westernmost island reef in the south is the largest island reef in Tarawa - Bito Island, which is 4500 meters long. The long causeway leads to the lagoon. The entire island is 3,700 meters long, ranging from 450-540 meters wide, and covers an area of about 1.18 square kilometers.
There is a port on Bitto Island.
However, this port is not big. Dongjiang Fishery’s dozen or so fishing boats can anchor in the lagoon, but they cannot all enter the port.
After the ship docked, under the coordination of Dongjiang Fishery, the country's customs officers boarded the ship for inspection and then issued a visa, which means signing and stamping the crew member's passport. A certain fee was also charged.
There are many things to follow.
But after getting the visa, the crew can go to the island.
Chen Yuan stood on the deck, took out his mobile phone to take pictures, and saw a speedboat coming from the direction of the port at a very fast speed and went to the nanny's side.
This atoll is very long, with an estimated length of 40 kilometers from north to south and close to 30 kilometers from east to west. However, the island is very narrow... the widest part is two to three kilometers, and the narrowest part is estimated to be only tens of meters, or a few meters... …
In the distance, you can see the town in the direction of the port. The houses there are densely packed...
The water in the lagoon is clear, white and bright with blue in it. This blue is as if milk was first injected into it.
However, in the lagoon area, the color changes greatly with the depth of the water. The water in the shallow water area is clear and transparent and seems to be glowing. In the slightly deeper water area, the water there is as light blue as if it has been injected with milk. Blue. The darker one is dark blue.
There was more than one speedboat coming from a distance, and several small speedboats and small fishing boats came behind.
After a while, the small boats approached the big boat on their side. Some people were selling items, shouting "Busy Forest, Busy Forest", and others asked if they wanted to go to the island.
The main language in Kiribati is Kiribati and the official language is English.
There are many people who speak English here.
Each of the fishing boats that came this time had at least one person who could speak English.
Not long after, a speedboat came next to their fishing boat, and a dark-skinned, fat middle-aged man shouted: "Friends from China, do you want to stay in the hotel?" The man spoke Mandarin, and his pronunciation was not very standard, but Chen Yuan and the others Everybody can understand it.
Lin Xinhai walked over and waved his hand: "We won't get off the boat."
The man took out his business card: "This is my business card. If you need to go to the island and check into a hotel, give me a call. Pick-up and drop-off will be included."
"Okay." The man said and sailed away, heading to the next fishing boat to hand out business cards.
He Fei came over and said in Chen Yuan's ear: "When will we start fishing?"
"It will probably take a few more days," Chen Yuan said.
"Would you like to go to the island and play for two days?"
Chen Yuan nodded: "Tomorrow."
Just as he was talking, another speedboat came over. Standing in the driving seat of the speedboat was Xiao Hei. He waved with a smile on his face and showed his white teeth: "Hi, I am Nubi. Is Chen Yuan on the boat?"
"Here." Lin Xinhai smiled, raised his hand, and shouted: "Brother Hao."
Luo Hao, the commander-in-chief of the Dongjiang Fishing Fleet, is taking a break from his busy schedule.
Luo Hao also waved his hand: "Is Chen Yuan here?"
"Here." Lin Xinhai said.
Luo Hao pointed to the island: "Go and play on the island for two days."
