Chapter 545: Let's Talk

Before boarding the ship, Zhang Nan said to Philip: "This ship is good!"

Mr. Captain smiled and said, "Although this is a second-hand ship, it is only two years old and in very good condition......

The previous owners of Safiradura had to communicate with the outside world through Ibiza, and there were only two small boats on the island itself, one of which was a motorized boat that was purchased from a small fishing boat. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

Zhang Nan has never been here, but he has heard the report and is very dissatisfied with such a small boat.

And it was not convenient to have to transfer everything from Ibiza, so let Captain Philippe contact his contacts to see if there was a suitable yacht in stock near the Mediterranean.

It doesn't have to be as exaggerated as the Sunshine Star, but it can't be too small.

It turned out that I really found a suitable one: the original owner bought the ship and used it several times, but this would be difficult to finance, so I thought of selling the ship.

Zhang Nan didn't care about the reason why the other party sold the ship, his "Sunshine Star" took over the unlucky financier, and he didn't pay attention to it, so he bought it.

There are also several small yachts in the small harbor, and the 90-foot yacht, renamed the "Star", stands out from the crowd in terms of size.

With a white hull and a streamlined hull, this is a Ferretti Yachts 870.

A group of people boarded from the stern, and the cockpit was a spacious area with an eight-seater teak table that served as an outdoor lounging area for the owner to spend time with friends.

Not in a hurry to sail, let Philip take a look at his new ship: the galley and bridge station were in the bow, completely separated from the rest.

The saloon area is spacious and airy, with glazing running through the bulwarks on both sides to let in natural light.

On the left there is an L-shaped sofa, armchair and coffee table, and on the right there are two armchairs separated by cabinets, and behind it there is a hidden TV.

The dining area on the port side is furnished with a glass dining table and 8 stainless steel-framed leather chairs, all of which are from top Italian brands.

On the starboard side is a low cabinet that runs through the wall, which contains a refrigerator, wine rack, dining utensils, and a sound system in the salon.

The starboard aisle provides easy access to the cockpit separated by a door, while the sliding door on the left is one of the three paths leading to the galley.

Behind the starboard flybridge staircase there is a day toilet and a staircase leading to the lower deck.

To the left of the helm station is the dinette with a large L-shaped corner sofa, chart table and soft stools, all of which look like a five-star lounge.

Access to the lower deck is via a central corridor of the yacht, where you will find the night lounge area, which features three separate queen cabins and a fourth cabin with two single beds, all with their own bathrooms.

There is also a full-width master's cabin, and the crew cabin is located behind the aft engine room, so that the captain and crew can easily access the crew cabin and engine room.

Unlike the Sunshine Star, which is several laps larger, the Star does not have much endurance because it is a speedboat and extremely fast.

Equipped with two 2000 hp engines, it has a top speed of 30.5 knots and a cruising speed of up to 27 knots!

The ship can sail at a top speed of 300 nautical miles, which can be increased to 360 nautical miles at a cruising speed of 27 knots, and can run 600 nautical miles if it is reduced to 21 knots.

With this boat, Zhang Nan can take it from Safiradura Island to Spain, France, Italy, Tunisia, Algeria or Morocco if needed!

For a super-rich man whose bottom is not very clean, it is still necessary to have such a speedboat: if possible, Zhang Nan plans to get himself a submarine.

Submarines are good, some people say that there are two kinds of people who have food anywhere in the world: the first is the surgeon, and the second is the person who owns the submarine.

If you can't be a doctor, it is still possible for Zhang Nan to get a submarine in his life. As for this time, there is also a Bell 205 emergency on his island, which is also a second-hand purchase.

It doesn't matter if you need it, you can talk about it later.

......

From the harbour, Safiradura Island is just over a nautical mile away, just over a corner from the cove.

Through the porthole of the saloon, you can see your own island, a small island formed by an undersea mountain outcropping from the sea level, for the same reason that Ibiza was formed.

The area is not large, about 14 acres, that is, 85 acres, or 57,000 square meters, 5.7 hectares.

The highest point is about 40 meters above sea level, just on the side of Ibiza, almost a cliff!

The island is 320 meters long and nearly 200 meters wide at its widest point, and is mostly covered by low raw green vegetation, except for the highest part in the south, which is mostly bare rock.

Because of this topography, there is a very small amount of fresh water on this island, and a small amount of "mountain springs" flowing from the cracks in the rocks of the "mountains" that stand up straight in the south.

The island's developed living area is in the north, where the terrain is relatively flat, and the villas here overlook the blue Mediterranean Sea and even a small beach about 30 meters long.

But the island's own fresh water alone would meet the needs of a dozen or twenty people at most, and Philip would be talking about it.

The supply of fresh water to the small island is difficult, and the whole world is the same.

"In the past, we relied on boats to supply fresh water, but the previous owner of the island simply put a desalination plant on it. ”

"Electricity is powered by solar energy?"

Desalination costs electricity, and the sun shines here for more than 300 days a year!

"No, boss, with submarine cables, solar is just auxiliary. There is also a rainwater harvesting device, but there is not much rainfall here, and the Mediterranean climate is good. ”

There are more good weather, less rainy days, and the annual precipitation is about 500 mm.

How can the plants on the island live well?

Surrounded by the sea, the early morning condensation of water vapor allows the plants here to live up to the dew of North African plants in the south of the Mediterranean.

The yacht soon circled to the north side of the island, where it was a developed island with several modern holiday villas.

In the northwest of the island, there is a pier, and the "Big Shark", which is not small compared to the island, is half of the hull leaning against the pier, and there are two small boats moored nearby.

The yacht pilot was the helmsman of the "Sunshine Star", who was temporarily transferred, and skillfully berthed the yacht at the dock, and Zhang Nan saw Li Panfeng, Zack, Karimi and Liu Wendong all meeting him on the pier.

After sailing at sea for more than a month, Karimi seems to have tanned, and Li Panfeng and Liu Wendong are like going on a trip to Africa, not to mention Zack: the black buddies are almost sunburned!
