A big pot of fresh fish porridge was eaten thoroughly.
Lin Xinhai continued to go back to sleep, while Chen Yuan and the others continued to fish for squid...
The wind is calm now and the waves are calm. Maybe this is the prelude to the storm.
After resting for a while, more and more squids gathered. After Chen Yuan lowered the rod for more than three minutes, there were seven rocket squids.
"Oops..." Yang Xun shouted with difficulty, lifted the fishing rod, then grabbed the fishing line and dragged the squid hook up: "One, two...five...nine. My rod
Nine, get rich, get rich."
The price of rocket squid is high, one pound is worth several dozen, and this rod is like a day’s salary for many people.
"I have no strength in this arm." He Fei also got up the pole and untied the squid, saying.
"Why don't you go back and rest?" Zhou Sheng chuckled.
"Keep playing music and keep dancing. If I don't get paralyzed from fatigue today, I will never be laid off." He Fei twisted his waist and said.
"We can still fish for four hours. After four o'clock, we have to go back..."
"I want it."
After each person caught a few rods, the number of squids below became less and less.
I fished slowly and leisurely until after two o'clock, the wind started to pick up.
Chen Yuan saw a fishing boat leaving and put the pole away: "Put the pole away and go back."
"No more fishing for a while."
"The wind has picked up, let's start early. There are not many squids now..." Chen Yuan said.
The fishing boat is not fixed in one position, but moves with the waves. You can't catch squid at this point, and there aren't many squid in a large area.
Moreover, some fishing boats have already left, and Chen Yuan is also preparing to close up his fishing poles earlier, so as not to wait until there are strong winds and waves before leaving.
Chen Yuan opened the refrigerator and looked at tonight's harvest. There were three full baskets of rocket squid, estimated to be twenty or thirty kilograms more than yesterday: "They are all collected."
He Fei and Yang Xun also quickly put away their poles.
Waiting for Zhang Cheng and others to return from their poles, Chen Yuan put all the things on the back deck into the cabin, turned off the gyro stabilization, and started the yacht.
"Are you ashore?" Meng Jianshan looked at Zhang Cheng and said.
"We're ashore." Zhang Cheng said, "When you were seasick in the afternoon, I caught a tuna estimated to weigh seventy or eighty kilograms."
"Beef. What tuna?"
"Dog tooth and golden gun..."
"It's not worth much, but it's okay."
Zhang Chengcheng was depressed and said: "Only half of the fish was caught."
There was a question mark on Meng Jianshan's head: "Run away?"
"No... I only caught the upper half, a head and the smaller half of the body. The tail was robbed by the shark..."
"Hahaha..." Meng Jianshan smiled gloatingly and said, "Did you take a photo of it? That is excellent video material."
"without."
"Why don't you take a photo..."
Chen Yuan drove the fishing boat, made a beautiful U-turn, and returned...
When the wind comes, so do the waves.
After leaving the reef area, the surge became smaller and Chen Yuan switched to cruising speed.
The cruising speed is fuel-efficient, and now that the wind is tailwind, it has reached 22 knots.
22 knots is the standard cruising speed, which is the most fuel-efficient speed... But Chen Yuan's fishing boat has been modified, and now there are seven people on the boat. If there is no wind and no waves, they cannot reach 22 knots.
He Fei and the others put their fishing rods into their bags, brushed their teeth, washed their faces, and went to sleep.
Zhang Cheng and the others smoked a cigarette outside and then entered the cabin.
"You go to bed and I'll drive." Zhou Sheng said.
"I woke up late today. You go to bed first. If you wake up at 4:30, you can take over my shift."
"Go to sleep now. How can I wake up after four o'clock?"
"You woke up just after four this morning..."
"Hehehe... That's because I want to go fishing in the sea. If you don't sleep, I will go to bed."
"Go to sleep."
The cabin became quiet, Chen Yuan lit another cigarette, took out a can of Red Bull and opened it.
The current sea surface is in the dark. You can only rely on the compass and chartplotter to determine the direction...
The engine of the fishing boat was blaring, and Lin Xinhai was snoring in the cabin, which was so faint that it actually drowned out the sound of the engine.
Zhou Sheng lay inside for a while and then walked out: "Oh my God, Master's snoring is louder than the engine."
Chen Yuan chuckled: "Do you want to drink Red Bull?"
"I want to sleep." Zhou Sheng lay on the bench next to him and said, "It's okay to go to sea this time."
"Not bad." Chen Yuan nodded: "I found that the fuel consumption of this fishing boat is much less than we expected."
Zhou Sheng said 'hmm' and said: "I haven't run at high speeds this time when I went to sea. I have always been cruising and low speeds. This time I go back to rest for a while and take the car driver's license and yacht driver's license tests... What do you think?"
"
"Okay." Chen Yuandao said: "When you are free, let's go fishing in the offshore, and also pull Chen Xin and Zhou Lan out to practice. It would be funny if they still get seasick when they go out to sea, even if they don't pass the yacht driving license test."
"What do you think Chen Xin and Zhou Lan are doing to get their yacht driving licenses? Just the two of us have driving licenses..."
"You don't have to worry about your skills. Go to bed quickly and stop talking nonsense."
"Can't sleep..."
"I plan to buy another house and let my father and others live alone when they come over," Chen Yuan said.
"I have the same idea. I want to buy a three-bedroom apartment...and let Zhou Lan move out. I have been living outside for many years and don't know how to get along with my family anymore." Zhou Sheng said: "Call my parents and they come over. Seriously.
Yes, I don’t know how to arrange them.”
"We'll see then. It's not easy to find a job these days."
Zhou Sheng couldn't sleep.
Also unable to sleep were Zhang Cheng, He Fei and the others. Lin Xinhai was snoring too loudly.
"Master, his snoring is too loud. Is he sick?" Zhou Sheng said, "I need to ask him to go to the hospital."
"When he was on an offshore fishing boat, he would snore loudly."
It's past four o'clock.
It should be sea state level 3 now, the waves are 0.5-1.25 meters, there are waves...
It is still cruising, but the current speed is only 17 or 18 knots. The crosswind is coming, and the fishing boat is deviating from the course... In this case, it only needs to be corrected from time to time.
The dark sky turned white.
Lin Xinhai's snoring finally stopped, and Zhou Sheng returned to the cabin.
Slowly, the sky began to get brighter.
The wind is getting stronger and the waves are getting bigger. The wind is from the southeast and the waves are coming from the southeast.
There was no conversation all the way. After seven o'clock, Lin Xinhai woke up, got up lightly, washed up and came to the cabin: "Would you like to eat something?"
"Go back and eat."
The current sea conditions are not good. If a white-headed wave comes over while cooking, the pot will be overturned.
"How far is it?"
Chen Yuan looked at the chartplotter and said, "75 nautical miles."
Now at full throttle, I can run back in more than two hours. At cruising speed, I can run back in three and a half hours...
The sea conditions are not good, and if the power is fully turned on, it will be very bumpy.
I can only go back slowly and leisurely. The current sea conditions are actually not bad, even worse than the sea conditions in Yitong yesterday afternoon.
