The location where Chen Yuan is located, marked point 143, is 97 nautical miles away from the nearest island.
The closest one is Niku Island, which is a small island without a lagoon. This time the hot cyclone is north of the equator, and the wind comes from the north.
The Gilbert Islands were only affected by the typhoon and were not in the main wind area. However, this hot cyclone was very large. Even if it was only affected, the wind force on their side would still be level 7 to level 8, and might even reach level 9.
Chen Yuan studied the thermal cyclone. This thermal cyclone is still in the process of forming, but when you look at the weather map, you can feel the terror in it.
"The best shelter island is Beru Island." Gao congratulated on the radio.
Chen Yuan said 'hmm': "Beru Island is 130 nautical miles away from the No. 143 mark. The hot cyclone is still in the process of forming, but I feel that it will take more than twenty or thirty hours before the typhoon comes."
They are not considered typhoons here, but are just wind areas generated during the formation of hot cyclones. During this period, we can only make rough inferences about the specific direction in which the typhoon will move.
Anyway, usually you go north. That is to say, the weather warning sent to them by Dongjiang Fishery is wind force level 7 to 8. If you go north, that is, north of the Gilbert Islands, the wind will be stronger.
"In other words, within 24 hours from now, we are going to Belu Island?" Gao He said.
"Okay. You guys have already arrived at LeLevia."
"The Phalanx you deployed before must have been handed over to Zhao Hai and the others."
"exist."
"I've collected the fishhook here and will come over immediately," Lin Xinhai said.
"If it's a fishing boat going to Fiji, I want you to help transport some pontoons and ropes. Our boat is too small to fit it."
It is very troublesome for a motor boat to run out of fuel at sea.
"You still have to pay attention to safety."
"No, very good." Ruby said: "Have you helped me find the captain?"
"yacht."
"Otherwise, Fiji is so fun."
"How many meters is the tuna?"
"I won't tell you any more, we are going out. Pay attention to the typhoon and return to a safe place in advance."
"I gave it all to them, what?"
"There should be fishing boats heading to Fiji, please ask." Chen Yuandao.
"Absolutely. This island is not big, only 80,000 square meters. But the coral reefs here are very beautiful..." Yan Xiaoxi said: "We are about to go diving."
"I'll be there in two hours."
The current time is after four o'clock in the afternoon.
"Congratulations then." Chen Yuan said with a smile.
"Hey...he is outside in the living room...it's still early for the typhoon, don't worry, I'll give the phone to Chen Yuan, you tell him..." Zhou Sheng walked over quickly and handed the phone to Chen Yuan: "Sister-in-law's phone number
."
"Several hundred tons." Chen Yuan looked at the fish detector screen: "There are tailing tuna behind the fish school. There are quite a lot of them."
Continuing to chase the fish, Chen Yuan arrived at Gao He's fishing boat in less than two hours.
"That's enough." Chen Yuan pointed to Gao He's fishing boat where they were lowering the hook: "When they finish lowering the hook, we'll go over and refuel. If you can spare the oil, don't use it."
"As long as the typhoon does not move southward, there will be no big problem, but it can only be closed and released. Have you come here?" Chen Yuan said: "This school of fish is very big, and it is also moving towards the islands."
Suddenly, Dabai stopped working.
Zhou Sheng got up and opened the spare fuel tank. After a while, Dabai started up again.
"Hi, Chen Yuan." Ruby's voice came out.
Chen Yuan said 'hmm' and said, "Just let the rupees take it."
"How big is it?"
"The spare fuel tank is out of fuel too?"
After being out for so long, this is the first time for Chen Yuan and the others to use Dabai's spare fuel tank. This spare fuel tank is also called an emergency fuel tank. It is usually used in emergencies and requires manual operation to open the fuel tank.
"Depth of 30-50 meters."
"Here." Chen Yuan said with a smile: "How did you get it?"
"Chen Yuan, Zhou Sheng." Gao He shouted.
"Didn't I tell you on the phone last night? It's already here."
"The coral reefs here are very shallow, only more than one meter deep in many places. We rowed out and dived in the shallow water."
"received."
"Is it your yacht or your fishing boat?"
"You are the one, please pay attention to your safety."
"Okay..." Chen Yuan responded with a smile, hung up the phone, and looked at Zhou Sheng: "When the typhoon comes, we will go to Shangyongliu to have a look. If there are more fish, we can take a holiday early."
The sunshine is still very good now, it is cloudless, and the sky is as blue as an emerald.
"Yes, I've contacted you all."
"You are still out fishing."
The fishing boat is in front of the fish school and has already begun to set the hook.
"Hello."
"Thank you. Who is it? Can I contact you in advance?"
“Isn’t the island fun?”
"Chen Yuan, Chen Yuan, got the answer." Zhang Hang's voice came from the radio.
Chen Yuan got up and made tea. He finished all the Coke and other drinks. It's not bad to drink tea now.
Breeze and calm sea.
"have."
"OK."
"We are at the southernmost tip of the Gilbert Islands. Don't worry, we will go to the atoll to take shelter from the wind tomorrow," Chen Yuan said.
"Okay. By the way, Zhao Hai promised to sell your Phalanx to me." Ruby said.
"A huge thermal cyclone has appeared over Micron. Have you received a sea warning?" Zhang Hang said.
"We have to wait until the fishing season is over," Chen Yuan said.
"Do we have enough fuel to run to Beru Island?" Zhou Sheng asked.
"We will also go to Fiji." Chen Yuan said.
Chen Yuan took a deep breath and said: "Our ship has stopped working."
"I want to go back," Chen Yuandao said.
"There are too many fish in the Phalanx you have arranged. I went to your place three days ago, and the fish in the Phalanx are in groups."
"After the typhoon passes, the Phalanx will probably no longer be usable. Zhao Hai and the others are planning to sell the Phalanx to rupees..." Zhang Hang said.
"After the typhoon passed, we recovered the Phalanx and headed to Fiji. Our operating days in Kiribati have been exhausted."
"Copy that." Chen Yuan came to the driver's seat with tea in hand.
"Hurry up."
"During the fishing holiday, your fishing boats are going back to China?" Zhang Hang asked.
"It's fun." Yan Xiaoxi said: "The news said that a typhoon called Aniyun formed over Micron Island. It was said that this was a super typhoon and the Gilbert Islands would also be affected."
"Be safe."
Zhou Sheng smiled: "I just went to see it two days ago..."
Lin Xinhai is not very far away. With the movement of fish schools, they are less than twenty nautical miles away.
Chen Yuan said ‘hmm’: “When will you leave for Fiji?”
The fishing moratorium here in Gilbert is quite long, nearly three months. This is for big boats...
For example, a longline fishing boat that is only about 20 meters long can catch fish in September.
The fishing season in each PNA country is different, and the opening time of the sea is also different. After returning home, I estimate that I can rest for a month before coming out again...
This time, Chen Yuan and the others made money and had a good harvest. When the fishing boat returned, they also gave the workers a holiday and a good rest.
