Chen Yuan woke up very early as usual, put on his clothes, and went outside for a morning run on the beach.
It was cool in the morning, and there were small wooden houses in the coconut grove beside the beach. Chen Yuan even went in and took a look...
The smallest wooden house is estimated to be only 12 square meters indoors, with a double bed, a small wardrobe, and a small desk. The house is connected from front to back, and the bathroom is at the back with a shower.
The large wooden house is thirty to forty square meters, which is very spacious.
The interiors of the wooden houses here are very exquisite and a lot of thought has been put into them.
After running around outside, Chen Xin and Zhou Sheng were making breakfast.
"What's something delicious?" Chen Yuan walked in.
"Scrambled eggs with tomatoes, vegetable soup, and fried pork with garlic sprouts," Zhou Sheng said.
"There are leftovers from last night." Chen Xin.
"The weather is good today, let's go catch lobsters later," Chen Yuan said.
"OK."
After the meal was ready, Xu Xin, Chen Long and Zhou Hui all got up.
After dinner, Chen Yuan, Zhou Sheng and Chen Long picked up their jellyfish suits, diving goggles and flippers and set off.
Just the three of them went out, and Chen Xin had to take Xu Xin and the others to get familiar with the resort and explain some things.
"Where are there more lobsters?" Chen Yuan asked.
This is a semi-enclosed lagoon, and the salinity of the seawater in the lagoon is higher. There are more lobsters in the lagoon waterway... but overall, the resources here are relatively average.
"If you want to catch some for yourself, you can just go to the lagoon water channel. If you want to catch more and catch big ones, you have to go to Navutuiloma Island. It's more than ten kilometers across from the lagoon..." Zhou Sheng said: "How do you say?
"
"That's Loma Island."
Navutuiloma Island is a pristine and beautiful uninhabited island.
The speed of the speedboat is more than 20 knots.
The speedboat was more than seven meters long. After leaving the atoll, the sea surface surged. If these waves were on the shore or on a large ship, they would look very small.
But on a small boat, when the swells come, the waves are higher than the boat.
After graduation, Chen Long worked in a star-rated hotel in Sanya. However, when he went out to sea for a little while, let alone on a small boat, he nervously grabbed the handrails with his hands.
Chen Yuan looked back at Chen Long and said with a smile: "Don't be nervous, it won't capsize the boat."
"Why is the swell so big today?" Chen Long said.
Zhou Sheng laughed loudly: "It's calm today, but our boat is too small."
It is an ordinary speedboat with a very short side, usually used in reservoirs and offshore waters.
Divide sea conditions into ten levels. For this type of ship, sea conditions at level 2 will feel very good. Sea conditions at level 3 will feel like huge waves.
Level 2 sea state, the wave height is 0.1~0.5m, the waves are very small, the wavelength is still short, but the wave shape is obvious, the wave crest does not break, and there is no obvious white color.
The wave height of Level 3 sea state is 0.5~1.25m, the wavelength becomes longer, the wave crest begins to break, the foam is bright, and white waves are sometimes visible, and continuous white waves are formed in some places.
Today's sea conditions are level 2, which is considered very good.
Chen Long was nervous all the way, and half an hour later he arrived at the barrier reef where Loma Island is located.
There is an annular barrier reef here, and there are four larger islands in the barrier reef, all of which are pristine and uninhabited islands.
Zhou Sheng found a shallow water area to anchor and looked at Chen Long: "Do you know how to dive?"
"meeting."
"Then let's go down and play together. The water here is not deep..." Zhou Sheng dragged off his clothes and pants and put on the jellyfish suit.
Chen Yuan had already put on a jellyfish suit, diving goggles and flippers: "Where are there more lobsters?"
"On both sides of the barrier reef, there are more lobsters on the lagoon side, and the lagoon water here is deeper." Zhou Sheng said.
The barrier reef where Loma Island is located is also an annular shape with many gaps. There are very few places on the barrier reef that are exposed to the water... The water quality in the lagoon is similar to the water quality outside. In this way, there are more nutrients in the lagoon, and both lobsters and fish are special. many.
Chen Yuan moved his body, entered the water, took a deep breath and dived in.
There were algae and other plants on the inner side of the barrier reef. When he came down, Chen Yuan saw several serrated oysters, the largest of which was more than 20 centimeters in diameter. This kind of serrated oysters are very common in Fiji and are plentiful.
Chen Yuan ignored these oysters and swam to the deep water area, carefully checking the cracks in the coral rocks. After a while, he saw a flower lobster, and with quick eyes and hands, he grabbed the lobster. This lobster was quite big, and should be as long as It's more than 30 centimeters, and the struggle in the hand is extremely strong.
Chen Long also came down. He just swam to Chen Yuan's side and ran out of breath. He surfaced for air and then dived down again.
Zhou Sheng came over and patted Chen Yuan, then pointed at it.
Chen Yuan followed and floated up: "What are you doing?"
"Is your body okay?" Zhou Sheng said.
"It's not a big problem."
"You take care of Chen Long, I'll go to the deep water area to take a look."
Chen Yuan made an OK gesture and dived next to Chen Long...
Chen Long also saw a lobster and was about to catch it. Because the movement was too big, the lobster was frightened. It flicked its tail and disappeared with a swish.
Chen Yuan patted Chen Long on the shoulder and pointed to the serrated oyster below. There was an oversized spider snail next to the serrated oyster.
Chen Long looked at Chen Yuan and put away the oysters and spider snails.
Chen Long rarely dives, and he can hold his breath underwater for just over a minute. After diving seven or eight times, he has no strength.
"Why hasn't my brother-in-law come out yet?" Chen Long was lying on the side of the boat, worried.
"Don't worry, he can stay underwater for more than ten minutes," Chen Yuan said.
"So long?"
"That's his ability to eat." Just as he was saying this, Zhou Sheng surfaced for the second time, came out of the water to take a breath, and quickly swam towards them.
"I caught 7 lobsters, is that enough?" Zhou Sheng threw the net bag on the boat.
"Catch me again. Aren't you going to Suva this afternoon? I'll send some to your sister-in-law." Chen Yuan said.
"Sister-in-law... hahaha, okay." Zhou Sheng smiled and said, "You have to work harder. My sister-in-law is so beautiful, I don't know how many people are staring at her."
Chen Yuan climbed onto the speedboat with a smile, pulled Chen Long and said to Zhou Sheng, "Get more good stuff."
"no problem."
It will take some time for Chen Yuan's body to fully recover. After holding his breath underwater for a few minutes, he felt a dull pain in his chest: "You take out the anchor, and I will sail the boat to pick you up."
"Okay." Zhou Sheng dived down and took out the anchor claw stuck in the gap of the coral stone.
Chen Yuan collected the anchor rope above, returned to the driving position, and waited for Zhou Sheng to get out of the water again. Chen Yuan drove the boat over to pick him up.
This time, Zhou Sheng caught three lobsters, the smallest of which was twenty centimeters long. He also caught two groupers.
Chen Yuan opened the living water tank and raised lobsters and fish.
In more than an hour, Chen Yuan and the others harvested two cabins full of lobsters, estimated to be more than thirty. There were also several groupers, the largest of which weighed more than three kilograms, and was particularly beautiful.
