Chapter 78 Lin Xinhai’s two fishing boats [Please subscribe]
We talked very late at Lin Xinhai's house.
Mainly talk about the preparations for opening the sea and the respective division of labor.
Chen Yuan and Zhou Sheng are mainly responsible for finding fish and underwater operations when collecting nets.
Seine netting is both simple and complex.
A simple seine net can be operated by three or five people on a small boat of seven or eight meters.
The complicated seine operation, the fishing net is more than 1,000 meters long, and it is not a modern professional seine fishing boat... then the operation will be a bit troublesome.
But as long as they are all skilled workers and cooperate with each other, it is very simple.
It was past eleven o'clock when I got home. After washing, I went to bed and went to sleep.
Night, sweet dreams.
In his dream, Chen Yuan saw the endless sea, a clear blue, with a large group of tuna spinning in circles...
Chen Yuan got excited and called Lin Xinhai with his walkie-talkie to come over and unfold the fence. He heard the sound of "dong dong dong", which was a knock on the door.
"It's time to eat." Chen Xin shouted.
Chen Yuan drank some liquor last night and chatted with Yan Xiaoxi on WeChat for a long time after he came back. He went to bed very late. It was already past 7:30.
After Chen Yuan got up and washed up, he changed his clothes and went out: "It's so early."
"We usually eat at this time." Chen Xin said, "What did you do last night? You look sleepy."
"I read a novel last night and slept late."
In the morning, a tomato and egg soup, a vegetarian fried potato shreds...
All are vegetarian dishes.
After dinner, Chen Yuan called Zhou Sheng, and then received a WeChat message from Yan Xiaoxi: "Do you have time in the afternoon? Let's go out to catch the sea."
"I don't know, I have to go out to work today." Chen Yuan replied: "The tide will ebb at four o'clock today, right?"
"Six-thirty, dry tide."
Dry tide means the tide has reached its lowest point...
Corresponding to the dry tide is the high tide, when the sea water rises to its highest point. At different times, the height of the tide rise and fall is also different.
"I'll take a look. If it ends early, I'll go out to catch the sea."
"Okay." After a while, Yan Xiaoxi sent another text message: "The dried fish you gave me was eaten by Daju. I will go fishing with Chen Xin later to see if I can catch some cat food.
"
"Be careful when going out and wear a life jacket when fishing," Chen Yuan said.
"Okay. It's time to open the sea now. Are you very busy in the rest of the time?"
"It's just some preparations for going to sea, not too busy."
"oh oh……"
Chen Yuan came to the underground parking lot and waited for Zhou Sheng for a while.
This girl hadn't had breakfast yet, so she drove to a time-honored sweet shop. Chen Yuan ordered a rock sugar papaya and snow fungus.
Zhou Sheng ordered some food...
The Tang Shui Shop has breakfast items, such as glutinous rice balls in Sichuan, which are called Tang Wan here. There are also glutinous rice cakes in Sichuan, which are also available here, but the names are different...
After eating a bowl of rock sugar, papaya and snow fungus in the morning, I feel a little better.
Zhou Sheng ate with real ink marks. While eating, he said: "I also feel that seizing tuna in the South China Sea is unreliable. You have been on Zhang Laosan's boat and participated in the bottom seine. If the two of us cooperate, can we do it?"
Do it?”
"It's not a big problem." Chen Yuan said.
Zhang Laosan is also a captain, and his personality is very similar to Zhou Sheng...
Zhang Laosan's fishing style is very wild, but also very dangerous. He was fired from the company three years ago because of many illegal operations. Chen Yuan stayed on his boat for more than half a year...
"Don't just focus on tuna, try bigeye snapper, snapper, spiny snapper, etc." Zhou Sheng said.
"What kind of fish you can catch depends on the situation. Eat quickly and go to work after eating." Chen Yuan urged, and saw a car parked outside. It was Zhou Sheng's car.
Zhou Lan, Chen Xin, and Yan Xiaoxi are not here.
"Brother..." Chen Xin and Zhou Lan shouted.
"Chen Yuan, Brother Zhou." Yan Xiaoxi shouted.
Chen Yuan nodded: "Are you going out fishing so early?"
"The early bird catches the fish." Chen Xin said with a smile.
"It's still early, and I'll still hit empty shots when I go out," Chen Yuan said.
"We went to the Jianggang Bridge to catch bass, and then came back to catch black bream, yellow bream, etc.," Chen Xin said.
"Okay, Xinxin has become a fishing expert now." Zhou Sheng said with a smile.
Every time he heard Zhou Sheng call Xinxin, Chen Yuan wanted to punch this girl: "Hurry up and eat, you've been inked for ten fucking minutes."
Zhou Sheng looked at Chen Xin with a pitiful expression: "Xinxin, your brother is so cruel."
"I'll beat you to death." Chen Xin also said fiercely.
Yan Xiaoxi laughed beside her, picked up the menu, and ordered some desserts.
Chen Yuan didn't bother to look at Zhou Sheng's face. He waited for Yan Xiaoxi and the others to order the meal, then went over to settle the bill: "Hurry up."
"Okay, after dinner...you have to rush me to eat."
"It took more than ten minutes to have breakfast."
"Chew carefully and slowly, do you understand?"
"I know Cui Zi, you eat a glutinous rice ball..."
Arriving at the shipyard, Wang Peng was dismantling the winch on the ship, and several workers were helping.
The pilothouse of this fishing boat is at the bow, and the entire fishing boat abandons the front deck and has only a spacious stern deck.
Previously, there was only one lifting pole on the boat. The lifting pole was used to facilitate the lifting of fish...
Winch, this thing is mainly used to close the net in the seine operation.
The brace is usually made of steel wire, which is used to seal the bottom of the net when lifting the net. At the same time, it also accelerates the settling speed. The length of the brace is usually 1.3-1.5 times the length of the net.
Lin Xinhai was in the engine room, making the final engine inspection before sea.
"The turbine is being dismantled again." Chen Yuan walked in and said with a smile.
"Why are you here?"
"Come here and help." Chen Yuan said.
"It's been a long time since I dismantled the turbine with you," Zhou Sheng said.
"You idiot, I'm just taking care of you."
Just take it apart and maintain it, understand.
Chen Yuan smiled and said: "After you carefully remove it and reinstall it, there will be many parts on the ground."
Lin Xinhai rolled his eyes at Zhou Sheng: "Come here."
"I'm here to help. I haven't worked with you for a long time."
"You two cobblers, one plus one is less than one." Chen Yuan looked at Zhou Sheng: "It's better to work separately."
Lin Xinhai used to work as a marine engineer.
Lin Xinhai's favorite thing is to disassemble and assemble machinery. At sea, occasionally, the turbine will inevitably break down, which requires repair.
Lin Xinhai was fine when he was alone, but when he worked with Zhou Sheng, the two of them talked and laughed, and there were often extra parts on the ground after disassembly and assembly...
"Why are you talking to Master? You are also a loser." Lin Xinhai looked at Chen Yuan, and Zhou Sheng burst out laughing.
This feels so good, it feels like I have returned to the past, when they worked together and played together.
Lin Xinhai is an interesting person and a fun-loving person.
In the boundless sea, if there are a few people who are bragging and having fun together, it won't be particularly boring.
Zhou Sheng went over to help, while Chen Yuan walked around the boat, looking at the configuration of the fishing boat and the newly installed large refrigeration equipment.
The refrigeration equipment is still being installed, and the previous chilled cabin has been directly converted into an ultra-low temperature freezing cabin.
Looking at the size of the freezer, if it is completely packed, it can probably hold more than thirty tons. However, the ultra-low temperature freezer needs to leave some space. At most... twenty tons is the limit.
If it were completely filled, the freezer would not reach minus 60 degrees Celsius.
The crew room on a fishing boat is very small... This is normal. Chen Yuan has never seen a big crew room on a fishing boat.
The length of this fishing boat is 37 meters. The other fishing boat is smaller, about 35 meters, and the driver's cab is in the middle of the deck.
This 37-meter fishing boat is still very new. Judging from its appearance, it should be a lighted seine boat. However, for some unknown reason, the subsequent construction has not been completed.
The net cabin is large and the overall layout is quite good.
But the other fishing boat is a completely old-fashioned fishing boat. It can also launch nets independently, but its layout is unreasonable. Lin Xinhai changed it into an auxiliary boat and turned it into a small processing ship and transport ship. However,
If the fish situation is good, you can also work alone.
Moreover, the 35-meter fishing boat is more powerful and can reach a maximum speed of about 20 knots, which is perfect for assisting seine nets.
Chen Yuan had never come up to look at the configuration of the two ships before. Now that he looked at it, he understood why Lin Xinhai had the courage to engage in tuna fishing.
