Chapter 434 Docking at the Supply Port

For most people who go to sea, the real biggest worry is to encounter unpredictable wind and waves. Even if a 10,000-ton ship encounters an irresistible storm, it is still in danger of being buried in the sea.

As the older generation of people who go to sea say, the temper of the sea is unpredictable. Even with the rapid development of technology, it is still somewhat difficult to truly monitor the weather changes at sea.

Sometimes, weather conditions and wind and waves at sea can change dramatically in a very short period of time. One second it was calm, the next it might be rough.

It has been a few days since it came out of the country, and the distant-water fishing boat, which has not encountered any strong wind and waves, is about to leave the waters of Luzon when it suddenly encounters such a sudden change in weather, which is really unexpected.

Thankfully, the tonnage of the fishing vessel is large enough, not to mention the quality. It's just that the night storm is under the strong wind, so that the huge fishing boat is still tossed up and down in the waves, which is really a little terrifying.

Fortunately, all the crew members are not rookies who go to sea for the first time. They know very well that it is useless to worry about nervousness at this time, and it depends more on the driver's skills. If you panic, you are more likely to have an accident.

In this case, it is safest to stay on board. If you really want to run out of the cabin and accidentally fall into the water, then there is only one end, and that is to die in the sea. Many crew members even used ropes to fix themselves directly to the bed.

Staying in the wheelhouse with Wang Yanming and the others, Zhuang Haiyang was also speechless and said: "Look at this frame, this is a sudden storm, right? At this level, I am afraid that the ship with a small tonnage will not be able to bear it!"

"Well, I have to say that there are indeed more dangers that may be encountered when going out to sea than staying in domestic waters. Fortunately, our boat is big and sturdy enough, and if we drive a salvage boat, it will be a bit troublesome tonight. ”

Wang Yanming, who was in control of the rudder, still showed a calm expression on his face, always paying attention to the sea in front of him. Even though the view from the cockpit is not very good under the heavy rain, there is still a navigation line to guide the ship forward.

The more times like these, the more the boat cannot stop, and it may be safer to ride the wind and waves and get away from the most violent areas of the storm as soon as possible. And the ship's lights flickered from time to time at this moment, bringing everyone a little comfort.

Zhuang Haiyang, who heard this, smiled and said, "Those guys, don't you guess you can't sleep?"

"Well, I've told them to fasten their seatbelts as you told them to do so. Although I don't sleep well, at least I don't have to worry about being thrown under the bed. Such a big wind and waves, it is really a bit unexpected. ”

In the face of Hong Wei's answer, Zhuang Haiyang immediately replied: "You have to adapt to it as soon as possible, if you really go to the sea, it is estimated that such dangers will often be encountered in the future." In the sea area where we are going to go in the later stage, the wind and waves are still relatively large. ”

"Understood!"

It has been decided to temporarily choose the nearest port to dock for supplies, so the fishing vessel will naturally head towards the target port. In the process of traveling, Zhuang Haiyang has also been exerting his mental power, always paying attention to every move outside the ship.

If you really think that the waves are too big and the fishing boat may not be able to carry it, then Zhuang Haiyang will also take action. With his current ability, if he releases Dinghaizhu, he can completely ensure the safety of the fishing boat and prevent it from capsizing in the wind and waves.

It is precisely with this confidence that Zhuang Haiyang dares to bring out so many comrades-in-arms. Until the critical moment, Zhuang Haiyang will naturally not make a move easily. In his opinion, there are some benefits to getting the crew to take on a challenge.

By dawn, the fishing boat, which had been struggling in the sea for hours, finally broke away from the sea where the wind and waves were at its highest. Looking at the sea where his vision was gradually clearing, Wang Yanming also seemed relieved.

Seeing this scene, Zhuang Haiyang also smiled and said, "Squad leader, do you want to take a break?"

"It's okay! To be honest, the first time I encountered such a big storm before, I am not afraid that it would be a lie. Good thing everything went well!"

"Well, then you can rest for a while, we should be less than two hours away from the supply port now. I'll sail the boat, you rest first. Otherwise, when you get off the boat and dock, you probably won't have the energy to go ashore to play. ”

"Okay, then come on!"

For Zhuang Haiyang's kindness, Wang Yanming did not refuse. He knew very well that if there was anyone on the ship who had better skills than him, then only Zhuang Haiyang. But last night, Zhuang Haiyang did not deprive him of the right to sail.

The more critical the time, Zhuang Haiyang also wants to give Wang Yanming a chance to establish authority. Only by letting everyone know that Wang Yanming's skills in driving the ship are excellent, then the crew members staying on the ship will really rest at ease.

Many of them breathed a sigh of relief when the rest of the crew felt that the ship seemed to be moving smoothly. In that situation last night, if you want to say that they are not false at all, it must be a lie, but they know that they can't help much.

Now seeing that the ship is gradually stabilizing, many crew members who have not slept all night also whispered: "What time is it?"

"It should be almost dawn, right?"

"Well, listening to the sound of the rain and the wind, it seems to be much quieter. Hurry up and squint for a while!"

"I can't sleep, my stomach hurts, let's get up and take a walk!"

Amid the gossip, many crew members walked out of the resting cabin. Seeing that it was still raining on the sea, they did not come out of the cabin, but stood in the cabin, quietly watching the movement outside the ship.

Wu Xingcheng, who was in charge of preparing breakfast, even though he didn't have a good rest last night, still took the cooking group and prepared breakfast for the people on the boat. Seeing these comrades-in-arms, he also smiled and said, "Why didn't you get up so early?"

"It's okay! I can't sleep, and I didn't get much sleep last night. Still, it's your hard work!"

Wait a little longer, it is estimated that there will be another half an hour, and you will be able to have breakfast. But are you sure you ate breakfast, and you won't spit it all out and feed it to the fish later?"

"How is that possible? You're underestimating us!"

For Wu Xingcheng's ridicule, the crew who got up early naturally would not admit it. Even if you don't have much appetite, the crew members on the ship know that if you want to ensure that your physical fitness does not decline, you still have to eat three meals a day.

Zhuang Haiyang, who was in charge of driving the boat in the wheelhouse, heard the voice from the restaurant, and said with a smile: "Lao Hong, you go to the restaurant to have a look, it is estimated that someone is up." If they don't get up, let them sleep a little longer, and wake them up when they are on the shore. ”

"Okay, then I'll go and inform them. We've heard of this port before, but we've never been to it! It's just that this country is not big in size, and the scenery is still good, right?"

"Island country, what do you say? The supply port we are about to dock at should still be relatively prosperous. This country has no mineral resources, and its economy is not bad due to its unique geographical location. The port, should be a bit of a sight to behold. ”

"Understood, then let me tell them, and the passport must also be ready, right?"

"That's natural! After entering the port, if you want to get off the ship and rest, you still have to go through the customs inspection! However, I miss that they should still be happy to see us stay in the port for a day or two, so that we can spend!"

"If you are on the ship, do you still have to arrange for people to be on duty?"

"That's natural! Tell my brothers, the team members on duty, I will arrange rotation at that time, and strive to give all brothers the opportunity to go to a foreign port city to have a good turn. It's just, don't get stumped!"

"Good!"

What does the so-called blindness mean, Hong Wei still understands it somewhat. A trading port dedicated to receiving supply ships from various countries, there are naturally some entertainment venues. Some crew members who have been drifting at sea for a long time are keen to go to this kind of place to consume.

Zhuang Haiyang definitely disagrees with this, but he does not completely oppose it. In any case, these comrades-in-arms hired are not flesh and blood, but there is one point, comrades-in-arms with family members, he still strongly opposes them.

Even he wasn't interested in anything like that. A single comrade-in-arms, if he is interested, he will not be overly opposed. After all, this kind of thing is nothing new for many people who run boats.

Even in some places where the economy is relatively backward and there are ports, there are still special receptions for these rich sailors!

The crew who got the notice was very surprised and said, "Lao Hong, are we going to dock for supplies?"

The ship is well stocked, but the ocean said that it is difficult to make a trip, so I will go to the port to rest for a day, and by the way to see the scenery of exotic islands. When the time comes, a one-night stay at the port hotel will be arranged.

The specific rules should be explained by the ocean later. It's still the same sentence, play and play, don't make trouble. And most importantly, it's not domestic. I don't think many of you know much English, do you?"

The language barrier can sometimes be a nuisance. Fortunately, after they were recruited, Zhuang Haiyang also emphasized that they should learn more English communication. Compared to the members of the salvage team, the members of the security team have a better command of English.

As the fishing vessels slowly moved in, a large number of cargo ships and distant-water fishing vessels docked in the harbor. Under the guidance of the tugboat, the fishing vessel quickly found a berth. As soon as the ship came to a stop, a staff member boarded the ship for inspection.

In this regard, Zhuang Haiyang was also very regular, showed the corresponding documents to the inspectors, and informed them that they were going to Nyusile next. After reading the documents, the inspector also smiled and said, "Are you resupplying supplies, or?"

"It was too rough in the open sea last night, and we didn't have much rest. This time I stopped at Guigang, firstly, I planned to replenish some daily necessities, and secondly, I planned to find a hotel to rest and experience the customs of your country. ”

"Oh, well, we also extend a warm welcome to your arrival!

We also often go to the open sea, but this is the first time we have come to your country. ”

While saying these words, Zhuang Haiyang was also very secretive and handed a tip to the prosecutor. Looking at the U.S. knife that was handed over and rolled up, the inspector was naturally very happy and informed him of some precautions required to enter the port.

Something like this, before going to sea, Zhuang Haiyang naturally asked people who often went to the sea to ask about the rules. Although it's okay not to tip, it is probably a little difficult to know some inside information.

Pay a tip, and the prosecutor will also give some convenience. Similar to customs clearance, maybe after entering the city, you can choose a hotel to stay in and a more formal entertainment venue, and the prosecutor will also inform you.

No matter what, these people are all local snakes, and it is better to be good than offended!

Seeing off these port personnel who boarded the ship for inspection, looking at the people gathered on the deck, Zhuang Haiyang also smiled and said: "I didn't have much rest last night, okay? Do you want to rest on the ship, or go to the hotel booked on the shore to rest?"

"Let's go to the hotel! The hotel bed is big, and it should be more comfortable to sleep. ”

Regarding the answer of his comrades-in-arms, Zhuang Haiyang didn't feel anything wrong, and continued: "Okay, then Lao Hong will arrange the left-behind personnel." When the hotel is booked, I will arrange for someone to come over and rotate. If you try it, everyone will be able to enter the port and walk around. ”

"Okay! I'll arrange this!"

Even if there are no personnel to stay behind, it should not be a big problem. But in Zhuang Haiyang's view, there are also a lot of materials stored on the ship. Who can guarantee that no one sneaks into their fishing boat while they are resting in the hotel?

As for the port staff, they said they would help patrol and ensure the safety of fishing vessels. This kind of commitment is completely unguaranteed in Zhuang Haiyang's view. When you go out, you are more reliable and trustworthy with your own people.

After simply packing up some things, Zhuang Haiyang also asked everyone to change into casual clothes, and under the guidance of the port staff, they began to declare the entry procedures. After completing these formalities, Zhuang Haiyang directly led everyone to start strolling.

Through my mobile phone, I booked a hotel not far from the port, and I took everyone to check in. Although there are many cheap hotels, from Zhuang Haiyang's point of view, since you want to live in a hotel, it doesn't hurt to live better.

Otherwise, if you stay in a relatively cheap and uninsured hotel, you might as well go back to the boat to rest!

As an internationally renowned supply port, it receives runners from all over the world every year. Seeing Zhuang Haiyang and his entourage entering the hotel, the hotel staff in charge of reception also knew that these people should be crew members.

Considering the English proficiency of the security personnel, there is still a gap compared to themselves. When checking in, it was naturally Zhuang Haiyang who came forward in person. After getting the room card, hand over the room card to the comrades who entered the hotel one after another.

"In a room for two people, you can take a shower first, and then you want to rest for a while. If you don't want to take a break, it's best to find a brother who can speak English to hang out. Also, I'll get the money here later. ”

If you want to spend money at the port, you naturally need to exchange the country's currency. Even if the U.S. knife is easy to use there, but when Zhuang Haiyang cleared customs before, he was still in the bank next to him and exchanged a lot of the country's currency.

Although the money is not much, Zhuang Haiyang feels that it should be enough for these comrades-in-arms to spend. In terms of food and accommodation, Zhuang Haiyang can afford it. can be additional personal consumption, Zhuang Haiyang still has to be counted on the consumption of comrades-in-arms in the end.

No matter how generous it is, it is impossible to meet the shopping and consumption needs of all comrades-in-arms. Moreover, with the income of these comrades-in-arms, as long as they don't spend money indiscriminately, they should still be able to afford simple shopping and consumption.
