Chen Yuan went to the bow of the ship to retract the anchor claws, looked at Zhou Sheng and made an OK gesture.
Zhou Sheng then started the fishing boat and turned the steering wheel...
Back in the cockpit, He Fei and the others had already gone back to sleep. Chen Yuan sat next to Zhou Sheng: "Master, Lao Gao."
"exist."
"exist……"
"We're out." Chen Yuandao.
"See if the surge is big. If it's a level 4 sea state, come back and wait," Lin Xinhai said.
"good."
Leaving the lagoon surrounded by small islands, you can see the endless sea, and the waves on the sea surface are visible to the naked eye.
"I know." Gao congratulated.
"The swell that looked like a hill just now is called a tomb wave."
For captains with many years of offshore fishing experience, they have experienced many sea conditions that are several times, or even more than ten times, worse than this.
"Exciting, so exciting."
"There is a school of tuna, get up quickly. Today's sea conditions are not good, Level 4 and Level 5, and there are strong swells. You go and keep an eye on the fishhook, I will watch from the cab." Lin Xinhai said cautiously.
: "Cheer up."
"There are tuna, there are a lot of them." Chen Yuan said, "Don't worry, there is no danger."
Chen Yuan quickly turned on the wireless phone and couldn't help but feel a little excited: "Master, be prepared to fish. We seem to have found a large tuna school."
"There is a tomb wave in the outer sea, with a height of nearly 5 meters and a width of dozens of meters. Please pay attention to safety when setting the fishhook..."
"Are those tuna?" Zhou Sheng looked at Chen Yuan.
"What's going on?" Yang Xun asked worriedly, looking at the rolling surge outside.
Lin Xinhai drove the Big Fish and ran out.
Zhou Sheng chuckled and looked at He Fei and the others: "Excite it."
Occasionally, it hit a wave head-on, causing the ship's hull to float, and the water flowed over the bow and entered the deck...
Zhou Sheng also lit one and said: "This is just a small scene today..." Before he finished speaking, the radar issued an early warning.
There will be strong winds at the latest. If tuna gather here because of the strong wind, then the number of tuna in this sea area will be very considerable.
"That's a lot. Let's go to Niku Island now... After a brief observation, tuna is mainly concentrated in the south of the submarine mountain range between Beru Island and Niku Island. If there are tuna in the entire seamount, that's great.
"
"Graveside wave?" Gao He was confused.
"How high is the wave?"
But, after all, there are only Level 4 and Level 5 sea conditions, and there are hidden risks, but as long as you pay a little attention, there will be no problem.
"exist……"
But if a bulge surge hits the side of a fishing boat, the bulge surge with a height of four to five meters can carry enough energy to capsize the fishing boat.
"What's the density?"
Chen Yuan took over the driving seat and ran nearby for a few minutes. From time to time, tuna appeared on the vertical fish detection screen: "It's confirmed, it's tuna, and there are a lot of them. The area is mainly about 7 nautical miles south of the island."
Seeing a wave coming, He Fei and the others quickly grabbed the handrail. The boat tilted sharply, and it took them a while to get back to normal.
"What are you doing?"
Chen Yuan said 'hmm', thought for a moment, and said, "We have to look at it in detail. If it hits the side of the ship, it will be very dangerous. However, if the bow of the ship hits the waves, there is no danger." Chen Yuan said and opened the door.
Radio, shouted: "Master, Lao Gao."
The current surge is coming from the north, while the submarine mountains are coming from east to west...
"Is grave wave dangerous?" He Fei asked.
Luo Laosi went to bed very late last night. He had been working the night shift, and now he couldn't sleep at night. Last night, he fell asleep probably after three o'clock.
"What is grave wave?" Yang Xun asked.
There is a submarine mountain range at the southern end of the Gilbert Islands, linking Tapit Atoll, Beru Island and Niku Island.
"The current sea conditions in the open sea should be Level 4 and Level 5, so pay attention to safety when setting fish hooks," Chen Yuan said.
"What the hell...why are there so many grave waves?" Zhou Sheng quickly lit the cigarette, took a deep breath, and calmed down his shock.
"The largest surge was estimated to be 4 meters."
The current sea conditions should be Level 4 and Level 5.
"In this sea condition, setting the fishhook is a bit of a test of technique," Gao congratulated.
"good."
Chen Yuan took out a cigarette and lit one: "Today's event can only be regarded as a small scene. If we were in the North Pacific, we would encounter Level 4 and Level 5 sea conditions every day, just encounter them frequently."
Chen Yuan said 'hmm' and said: "When you set the fishhook, pay attention to the wave radar echo image, pay attention to safety, and don't let the tomb waves hit the hull."
Away from the island, the sea state is level 4 and the wave height can reach two meters.
In front of the swell, Dabai's boat was too light and moved with the swell.
Zhou Sheng turned on the three-engine and three-engine economic cruise. Then he turned on the auxiliary radar to observe possible huge waves.
"Right away..." Lin Xinhai also cheered up instantly.
Chen Yuan glanced at the radar map and quickly pushed the throttle lever. Dabai's power responded quickly. He picked up the speed and ran out of the warning area. After a while, Chen Yuan looked back and saw a mountain-like surge on the sea surface.
Four or five meters.
It's not only exciting, it's simply frightening. This feeling is scarier than riding a roller coaster.
"The waves are bulging," Chen Yuan said.
"The bottom is tuna, and the top should be bonito." Now the surge is strong, and bonito is mostly at a depth of more than 20 meters. The deeper ones should be tuna...
Not long after they lay down, He Fei and Yang Xun couldn't stand being in the cabin any longer, so they stretched out on the boat and walked out.
Another big side wave hit Dabai's side. Dabai's hull was probably tilted at an angle of more than 40 degrees.
As the saying goes, big fish come out of strong winds and waves.
The sea conditions outside are not good, but as the saying goes, wealth is found in danger. If the sea calms down, maybe all the tuna here will disappear.
"Let's go now." Gao He shouted.
Every time a side wave came over, Chen Yuan's heart skipped a beat.
Five nautical miles away from the island, Lin Xinhai left the cockpit and called Luo Laosi: "Get up soon."
When Chen Yuan and his fishing boat encountered a bulging wave and hit it sideways, the problem was not serious. The fishing boat was light and had a solid structure.
Seven nautical miles away from the island, Chen Yuan saw more than a dozen tuna schools swimming on the vertical fish finder... The fan-shaped picture of the fish finder on the bow showed more fish.
Chen Yuan and the others walked along the seamount. The largest surge here was about four meters. Occasionally, a side wave came over, and the hull of Dabai tilted greatly, which was quite scary...
"Let everyone wear life jackets." Lin Xinhai said.
"A bulge of about 5 meters?"
Luo Laosi rubbed his face vigorously: "Okay, I'll put the fishhook in. Will I put one rope this time or two?"
"A rope..." Lin Xinhai was speechless: "But the long rope yesterday was cut. Now there are two ropes, one is 75,000 meters, and the other is 110,000 meters. Put the long rope first."
"Okay...all tuna hooks, or?"
“All tuna hooks.”
After Lin Xinhai explained everything, he pushed Luo Laosi over to wash his face, and then hurried back to the cab.
