The power of the speedboat is very small and the speed is not very fast.
Come to Happy Island.
When viewed from the air, this island really looks like a running puppy, with a head, ears, neck, body, legs, tail...
The back of the puppy shape is a crescent beach, and above the dog's neck is a reef.
Chen Yuan drove the speedboat, turned off the outboard motor when he was approaching the beach, and then pressed the outboard motor to let the propeller emerge from the water.
The speedboat used power to rush directly to the beach. As soon as the bow landed on the beach, it lost power.
The water in the north of Xiaohuan Island is very shallow. The depth of one section of the water is estimated to be only about 1 meter. The water quality is so clear that Chen Yuan felt like he was about to hit a rock on the way there.
Chen Xin jumped off the boat first, followed by Chen Yuan.
"Tug the boat to the shore." Chen Xin said.
Chen Yuan tried to pull, but he had not fully recovered yet, so he could not use force and could not pull.
Zhou Sheng was behind and glanced at Chen Yuan strangely. Then everyone pushed the speedboat onto the beach and ran aground.
Chen Yuan picked up his luggage, took another bag of things, and followed Chen Xin into the coconut grove.
There is a small wooden villa in the coconut grove, with two floors and an attic. There is a fenced yard around the villa, and some flowers, plants and vegetables are planted in the yard.
"Chen Yuan and I can just go out and get the remaining things." Zhou Sheng said after putting down the things.
"Okay. I'm preparing lunch."
Chen Yuan looked at the living room. The living room was not big and had warm-toned wallpaper. It looked particularly warm.
"Let's go, help me get my things." Zhou Sheng put his arm around Chen Yuan's shoulders and went out to the yard: "What's wrong with you?"
"What's wrong?" Chen Yuan said.
"I just saw that you couldn't use your strength." Zhou Sheng said.
"It's nothing..." Chen Yuan pointed to his abdominal ribs: "I was injured accidentally before, and my bones were broken."
I don’t want to talk about decompression syndrome, lest Zhou Sheng tell Chen Xin and make people worry.
"Is the injury serious?"
"It's not serious, it shouldn't take long."
Zhou Sheng said ‘hmm’ and pointed to the small log next to him: “Look at the wooden house over there, it’s not bad.”
There are light blue wooden houses one after another, with a loft structure. The smallest wooden house is estimated to be just over 10 square meters, with two doors at the front and back, and a small terrace directly in front, facing the beach.
Chen Yuan smiled and said: "It's not bad."
"Tell me, Chen Xin and I bought the wooden boards and built the cabin here ourselves, including the interior decoration and furnishings of the cabin," Zhou Sheng said.
"Awesome, my brother." Chen Yuan chuckled.
"That's not true." Zhou Sheng looked arrogant.
"How many days are you going to Singapore?" Chen Yuan asked.
"Island resorts can't be without water sports. Let's take a look at the boat show and buy some motorboats, kayaks and water skis. I should also buy a few sightseeing boats..." Zhou Sheng said: "Sightseeing boats, what do you think?
That’s better.”
Zhou Sheng took out cigarettes and handed one to Chen Yuan.
Chen Yuan took out a lighter, lit it, and said, "A houseboat, or a catamaran."
"Houseboat?"
"A pontoon boat. It's just like a catamaran, but there are two pontoons underneath...a rectangular shape."
"Are there any branded houseboats?"
“Sun Tracker houseboat.”
Zhou Sheng's resort is in Furang'a Lagoon. The lagoon scenery is very beautiful. And not far from Furang'a Island is Levu Island.
There are small island groups in Fulang'a Lagoon, and the small island group on Levu Island has more beautiful scenery, similar to the small island group in Palau.
Zhou Sheng chose to develop a resort here not because he couldn't buy other islands, but because the environment on Fulang'a Island is good and there are top-notch resources in terms of diving and sightseeing.
Zhou Sheng took out his mobile phone and handed it to Chen Yuan: "The house boat you mentioned, search it out and let me have a look. I haven't seen the house boat..."
Chen Yuan searched for Sun Tracker houseboats. The wireless network speed on the island was a bit slow, and it took a while before it was displayed.
Zhou Sheng took his phone and looked through the pictures.
Sun Tracker houseboats, the world's largest brand of pontoon houseboats, mainly sell two types of boats, one is the fishing series and the other is the leisure system.
To put it simply, a platform is placed on top of two pontoons, rectangular...
For example, a houseboat with a length of 7.99 meters and a width of 2.59 meters has an upper floor area of nearly 20 square meters.
20 square meters, as big as a bedroom.
This kind of houseboat is suitable for inner lakes, because the double tubes provide buoyancy and the draft is very shallow. If the waves are larger at sea, the waves will feel higher than the boat. However, in the lagoon, the water surface of the lagoon is calm, and it is just like a pontoon houseboat. Extremely stable.
Moreover, this kind of boat has low inertia, so even people who have never driven a speedboat can get started quickly.
"It feels pretty good." Zhou Sheng said, "How much does this kind of houseboat cost?"
"Hundreds of thousands." Chen Yuan said.
"So expensive?"
"This kind of house boat is basically made of aluminum alloy. It is about 8 meters long and equipped with a 75-horsepower outboard motor. You can calculate the price yourself." Chen Yuan spread his hands. He didn't know how much that kind of house boat cost. .
The structure of the pontoon houseboat is very simple, but it is not cheap.
The structural strength of houseboats used at sea is higher and more expensive. Then there is the large usable area of houseboats...
There are many houseboat brands. The largest houseboat companies in the United States, Italy and other countries also have houseboat brands. In recent years, similar houseboats have been produced in China.
Regardless of the brand, the structure and layout of pontoon houseboats are similar, and the styles are also similar.
Generally speaking, houseboats are more expensive than speedboats, but cheaper than luxury dinghies of the same size.
Come to the beach and step on the soft sand.
Zhou Sheng climbed onto the speedboat and handed the things on it down.
"Why did you buy so many things?" Chen Yuandao said.
"I finally went to Suva to buy more. This island is remote and it's very troublesome to buy things..."
"Isn't there a village on the big island? There are no supply ships coming?" Chen Yuandao said.
Zhou Sheng nodded: "There is only one village on the island, with more than a hundred people. Those people are so poor that they only have happiness. What kind of supply ship will come?"
"Isn't there another village within the lagoon circle? To the north of the lagoon."
"The villages in the north have been relocated. Now only the villages on the southwest coast are left. The village in the north of the lagoon was relocated in May. The land was bought by a wealthy Australian, who is building a luxury holiday villa. There is also the small island in the middle of the lagoon. When we enter the lagoon, the second island on the right is a private island."
"Buy a village and build a villa?" Chen Yuan expressed surprise.
There are many small islands with independent freehold property rights in the Lau Islands and the Southern Islands. Those small islands have been listed for real estate sales online for a long time, but no one has paid any attention to them.
"There were originally no people in that village. There were about thirty or forty people. The Fiji government has been mobilizing small island villages with small populations to relocate to larger islands. The government has a resettlement plan for unified relocation. Some wealthy people have taken a fancy to the land in the village and relocated it. The villagers can also get an extra income... It is not troublesome to move the village." Zhou Sheng said: "There are some small islands here, and there are very few people on them, dozens or hundreds of people, and they still live a close life. The life of primitive people, the Fiji government also has plans to relocate the village."
