"Go to Island No. 2." Zhou Sheng looked at Chen Yuan.
Chen Yuan waved his hand: "There will be heavy rain and strong wind tonight. I will go to the yacht to spend the night."
"There is strong wind at night. Should the yacht dock at the dock?" Chen Xin said.
Chen Yuan thought for a while and nodded.
Chen Yuan and the others took the auxiliary boat to the yacht. They first took back the auxiliary boat and then weighed the anchor.
The yacht's anchor claw was lost in the coral area, but with strong winds coming tonight, the small anchor claw may not be able to fix the yacht. It is safer to fix the yacht at the dock.
At night, all the ambient lights of the yacht are turned on, and the yacht sails quietly in the lagoon, which looks particularly beautiful from a distance.
The yacht was fixed at the wooden bridge pier of Baisha Island. Zhou Sheng and Chen Xin also stayed on the yacht for the night...
In the middle of the night, Chen Yuan came out of the cabin and took a look. The rain was pouring like a torrential rain, and the wind was blowing. The passage along the ship's side was like a stream, with water flowing.
Daybreak.
After a heavy rainstorm overnight, the sky has not cleared yet.
The sky is gray and there should be a heavy rain.
Zhou Sheng and Chen Xin also got up very early.
"We are going to the hotel, will you go?" Chen Xin asked.
"I'm not going. You go there in a small boat, and I'll go to the coconut grove in the eastern suburbs later." Chen Yuan said, "Is there still a flight today?"
"We don't know yet." Zhou Sheng looked at the gray sky and said, "The plane arriving at Lakemba today will most likely be grounded."
The flight from Nadi to Lakemba used to be three times a week. In order to cooperate with the Low Islands and Southern Islands, the flight to Lakemba is now one or two times a day.
"Let's go to the hotel first." Chen Xin said.
"OK."
Chen Yuan went over and helped hoist the auxiliary boat down. Watching the two people get on the boat, Chen Yuan waved his hands, then took out his phone and called Yan Xiaoxi: "Hello."
"What are you doing?" Yan Xiaoxi said in a sleepy tone. She looked at the time and saw that it was only seven o'clock.
"Are you going to get up?"
"You're up."
"Wake up early."
"Okay, I'm up too."
"See you at the restaurant."
Chen Yuan smiled and hung up the phone, drove the Riva 27 out and headed straight for the coconut grove in the eastern suburbs.
Chen Yuan came to the restaurant, and Yan Xiaoxi was already here, looking like she was awake, without makeup, and very beautiful.
“No food to order.”
"Alright." Yan Xiaoxi rubbed his eyes.
Chen Yuan sat down, and the waiter brought the dishes over. It seemed that Yan Xiaoxi had been here for a few minutes.
Breakfast includes toast, fresh fried eggs, lettuce, ham slices...authentic cured ham slices and meat slices.
A fruit set, including strawberries, banana chunks, mango, etc.
A large glass of hot milk. The milk is still piping hot and has a layer of milk skin floating on it.
The milk is freshly squeezed at dawn and then boiled. The milk is still hot.
"Are there cows on the island?" Yan Xiaoxi said.
"I bought a few some time ago." Chen Yuan nodded.
"Consumption on this island is not cheap," Yan Xiaoxi said.
"There are cheap ones and there are expensive ones." Chen Yuan said: "The Dongjiao Peninsula is very expensive. The hotel is cheap over there..."
Just like strawberries today.
Strawberries are not tropical fruits. Tropical fruits are fruits that grow in tropical areas. Strawberries are mainly distributed in temperate and subtropical areas. They like warm and cool climates and are not suitable for growing in high temperatures.
Then there's the location of the Lagoon Resort. It's not cheap to transport strawberries here.
At the Coconut Grove Villa in the eastern suburbs, the one-day accommodation fee is 1,500 Fijian dollars. If you book a daily set meal (food), the daily fee is 2,500 Fijian dollars.
For an island resort, this cost is quite high. But not particularly high.
There are many luxury resorts and luxury resort islands in Fiji. It is normal to spend about 2,000 Fijian dollars a day. And some private luxury resort islands start at 10,000 Fijian dollars, or even 100,000 Fijian dollars...
The room at the Lagoon Resort Hotel includes three meals a day, and the minimum is 300 Fijian dollars. It also includes round-trip transfers to La Kemba Island. The minimum booking is two days, which is actually a three-night stay. This is very cheap.
Let's put it this way.
The cost of traveling to Fiji is similar to that of traveling to Sanya.
There are ways to play with money, and there are ways to play without money.
The Lagoon Island Resort has the lowest consumption among all island resorts in Fiji.
While eating, Xu Xing came over.
"Xiao Xi, Chen Yuan."
"Uncle." Chen Yuan and the others shouted.
Xu Xing sat next to Chen Yuan and the others and said, "If it doesn't rain in the afternoon, we will go fishing."
"OK."
After dinner, the sky became darker. It looked like it was going to rain...
Chen Yuan went to the villa where Yan Xiaoxi and his family lived, and soon it started to rain heavily.
Yan Fuli found Father Chen, Xu Xing and Xu Ming, and the four of them got together to play cards.
Most women like to play mahjong, not poker. There is no separate mahjong room in the resort. If you want to play mahjong, you have to go to the yacht. However, the rain was quite heavy, so everyone sat together to drink tea, chat, and pass the time.
The heavy rain comes and goes quickly.
After lunch, the sky cleared after the rain. Although the sun could not be seen yet, the sky was obviously brighter.
Chen Yuan drove his 7.1-meter auxiliary boat and took his father, Yan Fuli, Xu Xing and Xu Ming to the hotel pier.
There are two spearguns on Xu Xing's yacht, and he brings the spearguns and flippers.
Chen Yuan and the others originally wanted to shoot fish on the barrier reef outside the atoll. The surge outside was huge, but the barrier reef slowed down the surge. There were also sparkling waves on the sea surface of the barrier reef.
"Today's sea conditions are bad, so we can only check if there are any fish in the atoll," Chen Yuan said.
Xu Xing said ‘hmm’.
Chen Yuan turned the boat around and went to a deep bay in the north of the atoll.
The water here is calm, relatively deep, and flowing. There are corals growing on the seabed, and there are quite a lot of fish.
However, this is the second sea area where villagers have relocated, and there shouldn't be many lobsters under the sea.
Chen Yuan stopped the boat and looked at his father: "Dad, do you know how to dive?"
"I used to be a good fish catcher in my hometown's reservoir. But I have never dived in the sea." Dad Chen said with a smile: "I will take care of you on the boat, so I won't go down."
"I won't go down anymore. I'm on top." Xu Ming said.
Chen Yuan, Yan Fuli and Xu Xing went into the water. They all brought jellyfish suits, flippers, and each held a spear gun.
Chen Yuan took off his shirt, leaving only his briefs, put on his diving goggles and jumped in first. Although Chen Yuan had not fully recovered, as long as he did not go to deep water, there would be no problem.
Waiting for Yanfuli and others to come down, the three of them dived in together.
Shooting fish during the day requires certain skills. The water here is five to six meters deep, and you can see a school of coral fish when you go down.
Most of these coral fish are about the size of a palm.
Chen Yuan's eyesight was very good, and he saw a sharp-billed skinned fish in the coral, estimated to weigh a pound. Chen Yuan patted Yan Fuli and pointed...
Only then did Yan Xiaoxi see it. He quickly pulled the rubber band, mounted the speargun, then slowly swam over, aimed it, and pulled the trigger.
With a 'swish', the speargun was shot out, far away from the target, and the gun tip hit the stone.
Yan Fuli spread his hands.
The frightened skinned fish also ran away.
Xu Xing looked around but couldn't find any fish. After swimming for a while, Chen Yuan said "woo woo" again and pointed to a hidden corner.
Yan Fuli was out of breath, so he came up for air.
Xu Xing also floated up.
Chen Yuan followed him to the surface and heard Xu Xing smile and say: "You can't do it."
"You can't..."
"There aren't many fish here. Let me come next time you see one."
Chen Yuan said: "There is a grouper down there, two or three pounds."
"The direction you pointed just now?" Xu Xing said.
"Um."
"Go down and look for it." Xu Xing said, taking a deep breath and diving down.
Chen Yuan followed and accurately found the position just now. Groupers were mostly in the crevices of rocks. Xu Xing pulled the rubber band, installed the speargun, got closer to less than two meters away, took aim... and pulled the trigger.
With a 'swish', the speargun accurately hit the grouper.
In terms of species, this grouper weighing two to three kilograms is considered relatively large. It was hit by a speargun and struggled very hard.
Xu Xing smiled, grabbed the rope of the speargun, dragged the fish over, and floated it up.
Yan Fuli also came down, looked at Xu Xing, and gave him a thumbs up.
Chen Yuan came to Yan Fuli's side and pointed to the 11 o'clock direction: "Big fish."
Yanfuli quickly looked over. There was a heavy rainstorm last night, another one in the morning, and strong winds last night. The visibility of the seawater today was much worse than before, and it was blurry at a distance of about ten meters.
Yan Fuli loaded the spear gun and swam over with Chen Yuan's guidance. There were several cannonball fish in front of him. The largest one was estimated to be over five kilograms.
Yanfuli prepared to get closer this time, but before he could get close, the largest shell fish ran away. Yanfuli hurriedly shot, and like a blind cat hitting a dead mouse, he shot a skinned fish of about 1 kilogram next to it.
