Six hundred and sixtieth eight chapters Australia's sun
Not long after Cavell caught the fish, the fishing rod in front of Hong Tao caught another fish. Opportunity is sometimes quite interesting. Take fishing as an example, whether it is sea water or fresh water, this scene often occurs.
If your fishing rod is the first to catch fish, it will be the one with the highest fish catch rate for a long time. As for the reason for this principle, Hong Tao has studied it for a long time and has not come to a reliable conclusion.
Anyway, the second effective fish on the second day of the competition came. This time Hong Tao was not so lucky. The fish felt the danger from the moment it hit the hook, and a protracted battle began again.
Just like the first day, Hong Tao and Cavill took turns to sit in the fighting chairs and fight with the fish. When necessary, Babu would also support him. After more than 2 hours of struggle, just as the return time was approaching,
Finally got it up.
The second marlin was slightly smaller than the first one, and Barb was also estimated to be around 7,800 pounds. Since the time to return had come, everyone could only leave this lucky water area with infinite regret, braving the light rain.
With gentle wind and waves, it headed towards Hobart Port.
Of course, Hong Tao and the others did not completely violate the rules. After lunch, they reported the situation of the fish school to other contestants of the organizing committee via radio. However, due to wind, waves and distance, not a single fishing boat came over, and the whole afternoon
It's still the Manhattan boat chasing fish here.
After returning to the port, the Manhattan became the big winner on the second day of the competition. They caught a total of 1,893 pounds of marlin and earned 400 points. The second fishing team of Hatteras also became the overall winner.
The fourth place in the standings is only 200 points away from the first place, which is the distance of one fish. And they also topped the list of single-tailed marlin with a single weight of 1101 pounds. The second place was yesterday's
The championship team's catch weighed just over 700 pounds.
People are in high spirits when happy events happen. After the two Philips had lunch, their symptoms of seasickness improved a lot. When they landed and were weighed, they were almost alive and kicking. When the results were announced, they cheered the loudest and didn't look at all.
It looked like he had vomited for most of the day.
"Are you two lazy today?" Hong Tao protested to the two Philips on the way back.
"I swear to God, I really couldn't move. I just recovered in the afternoon and the game was over. In order to make up for our performance today, I decided to treat everyone to a meal at the best restaurant in Hobart tonight!" said Philip with a big belly.
Clarify quickly and try to gain forgiveness from others in a very sincere manner.
So, there was no need for Hong Tao to be burdened with dinner. Everyone went back to the Lavender Manor to take a shower and change clothes, and then headed back to Hobart city. Following the route they had inquired about in advance, they found the restaurant said to be Hobart, a little south of the train station.
The best western restaurant.
This western restaurant called ethosatdrik is located in a small antique stone castle, which was introduced by the restaurant waiter. This small castle was built in 1820. It not only has a long history, but also has a unique purpose. It was a specialized building at that time.
It is a prison where serious criminals are sent from the UK. The lobby of the restaurant is the hall of this prison. Behind the rusty iron doors around it are the cells where serious criminals are held.
The restaurant's menu is very simple, with a total of 8 main dishes. Out of curiosity, Hong Tao ordered a grilled Australian salmon with white truffles and a leatherwood honey grilled lamb chop. It turned out that the taste of the two dishes was really different. Honey grilled lamb chops
Very delicious, not only no
What an odor. Moreover, the lamb chops fed with honey are extremely tender; but the taste of grilled salmon is really unacceptable to Hong Tao. The fish is good fish and the meat quality is very good, but the taste of white truffle is not to Hong Tao's taste. That thing
It actually smells a bit stinky, smells like garlic.
"This thing is several times more expensive than black truffles? You don't want it for free. I spent 1 yuan to buy a handful of leeks and put them in a plastic bag for two days, and that's how it smelled!" When Paul complained that Hong Tao picked out all the white truffles.
After the leftovers were left on the plate, Hong Tao made his own evaluation of how Western food likes to use this ingredient as a flavoring. It’s not worth a cent!
On the issue of cooking, Hong Tao has more say than fishing. At least among this group of people, he said that he is second. No one dares to say that he is first. The actual situation is here. It is enough to cook a table of dishes.
After making a table, there are almost no names you can name, and the taste is quite good, so no one dares to stand up and say that what Hong Tao said is wrong. As for what they think in their hearts, Hong Tao has nothing to do with it.
Originally, Philip with a big belly planned to let everyone go to the bar to relax, but except for the other big man, Philip, no one else was interested. Fighting with the sea and big fish all day long had made them very tired. Now,
The best way is to go back to sleep as soon as possible. We have to go out to sea to compete tomorrow. The only thing we can hope for now is that there will be good weather tomorrow.
"Today is a good day. We finally don't have to vomit anymore. I felt the bed shaking when I went to bed at night." When he came to the pier again the next day, the pregnant Philip looked at the big sun on the east sea and finally let go.
Really, he said last night that if the weather was still so bad tomorrow, he would not get on the boat.
After the wind and waves the day before, Hong Tao felt that the current sea surface was simply a mirror. Those small waves with a height of one meter were simply too gentle and had no power at all. They only existed to remind the people on the boat that this was the sea.
.
The ship is no longer dizzy, but trouble is coming again, hot! Extremely hot! Hong Tao wonders if the hole in the ozone layer is right above his head. Otherwise, how could the sunlight be so poisonous? It shines on people's skin like
The needles stung one after another, and no matter how much sunscreen they applied, it was of no use. Even white people like Paul and the others couldn't bear the sun exposure and hid in the main cabin.
Gone inside.
Although there is air conditioning in the cabin, everyone is out fishing, so they can't all be in the main cabin with air conditioning. If you want to be comfortable, wouldn't it be better to stay at home and not come out? Babu once again showed what he has experienced
Even though there was an air conditioner on the flybridge, he would not turn it on. He would also open the hatch at the back and stand in front of the bridge.
Another person who is not afraid of heat is Philip with a big belly. It is said that he spent many years in Brazil and Mexico when he was young. He has become immune to this kind of exposure and heat. As long as he opens the awning on the back deck a little to block the direct sunlight, he can
You can sit on the sofa on the back deck and drink beer.
"Hong Tao, which water area are we going to today?" Babu no longer regards Hong Tao as an outsider, and the colonel is no longer pretentious. He has to ask Hong Tao about fishing before proceeding, which is a bit overkill.
"Today is the third day. Let's follow the Boomerang according to the original plan. Yesterday the wind and waves were so strong that we lost it. Today it is our guide." Hong Tao had already taken off all his shirt, but the flying bridge's
The top part has been sunburned, and the inside is like a big steamer. The skin on the body has been steamed through, and it is pink.
"If you feel hot, go down and rest for a while. The boat is going fast now and there is still a bit of wind. After finding a school of fish, it will get hotter when the boat slows down." Babu still wore his white navy soft-brimmed hat.
, I didn’t take off my shirt either, and although there were sweat stains on my armpits and back, I didn’t look very hot.
"Why aren't you afraid of the heat? It must be 40 degrees here, right?" Hong Tao was very curious about Babu's physique. If not being seasick is a result of practice, can he also practice being afraid of cold and heat?
"When I just graduated from the naval school, I served on a nuclear-powered attack submarine. Although the submarine has an air circulation system and air conditioning equipment, every time it passes through tropical waters, the captain will turn off some of the air conditioners and only use air circulation to carry out operations.
Long-term diving training sometimes lasts for 1 or 2 days, sometimes for a week. At that time, the temperature in the submarine was no lower than here, and it was even hotter in the engine room. I am used to it. If you stay there for a few months, it will still be the same.
No longer afraid of the heat.
"What type of nuclear-powered submarine are you serving? Is it as powerful as the Typhoon class?" Hong Tao started to provoke again. The day before yesterday, it was a destroyer and frigate, but this time it was a submarine.
"I can't tell you this. There are confidentiality regulations. Submarines are different from destroyers. It would be very dangerous if others find out the activity area. But I can tell you that the Typhoon class will die if it encounters my submarine. Typhoon is
Ballistic missile nuclear submarines, mine are attack nuclear submarines, not a weapon at all. I won't discuss this issue with you." Babu followed suit this time and stopped the topic directly.
"Tch, that's boring!" Hong Tao saw that his intentions were seen through, and knew that it was not suitable to stay here for a long time, so he walked down the internal stairs down to the main cabin dejectedly.
"Let's have a bottle of beer. The weather is so miserable. Yesterday it was windy and rough, and now it's the Indian Ocean!" Paul and Cavell were on the sofa in the main cabin with the air conditioner blowing and drinking cold beer. When they saw the waves coming down, they stopped.
Throw one over.
"I think the deck is about to melt. The Boomerang has been running for more than an hour. Where is it going?" Hong Tao took a sip of ice beer, and his whole body finally calmed down a little, no longer feeling like steam.
Like a sauna.
"Who knows, they have been running eastward, and they will reach the easternmost part of the fishing area in another 20 nautical miles." Paul pointed to the bridge in the main cabin, which also has a set of navigation equipment, control system, and GPS navigation.
The instrument is displaying the sailing route of the fishing boat and the signs of the fishing area at this time.
"It seems they are going to have a big fight today. I hope everyone doesn't find any fish. I'm afraid you'll get heatstroke if you fish in this damn weather!" Hong Tao has no interest in fishing at all and just wants to be comfortable.
