If you want to talk about playing yachts, when he first became the owner of Seattle five or six years ago, Gu Biao started playing.

At that time, Gu Biao went to the Vancouver housing market with Ye Kun to make a bloody storm and pit those hardcore cloth factions who were about to transfer to Vancouver. So you need a yacht and a bunch of extravagant records that show your muscles to prop up the façade, and buy only the most expensive things, not the best.

Gu Biao still vaguely remembers that he bought a yacht in Portland, the "City of Roses", because Oregon is one of the few states in the United States that has no excise tax at all, and it is much more cost-effective to buy a yacht there than Seattle.

It was also at that time that Gu Biao bought the world's first successfully cultivated "Carola Cold Beauty" rose potted plant at the International Rose Expo, and after he took the certification certificate to show off in the Seattle Island Owner's mansion, he gave Ye Su the rose entity that lost his soul without a certificate because he couldn't tend, and he was afraid of ruining the heavens.

A few months ago, Gu Wei gave Ye Kun a manor in Greenwich, Connecticut, and last month when he and Mina were also living in Connecticut, they also went to Ye Kun's house.

In the courtyard of Ye Kun's house, Gu Wei saw a rose planted on the ground, and the buds were also purple at the roots, and the lack of pigment at the tips turned to pale pink. Gu Biao recognized it at a glance, it was the "Carola Cold Beauty" variety he gave to Ye Kun five or six years ago.

I didn't expect the other party to plant flowers quite well, a rose can feed for so many years.

Many potted roses are limited to three or five years, and they are going to die, and their size is about the same as the moon flowers of potted plants, and they are less than 1 meter tall in pots.

Ye Kun was obviously to raise it for a longer time, so it was moved from the basin to the ground. And after so many years, they are actually chest height.

When he saw this tree, Gu Biao felt that his heart had been stabbed. Why bother, if he dies, he will not feel guilty.

Well, that's a bit far.

Since I'm pampering Mina now, playing yachting with Mina, why do you remember things that have been around for so long.

Gu Biao didn't buy a yacht this time to show off, just to play, for his own comfort, so naturally it was his wife's preference and how to come, and it was not bad to be warm and small.

……

Only half a day later, the new yacht was prepared, and Gu Biao took Mina out to sea. In order to make the atmosphere more harmonious, he also temporarily hired a big wave of girls to drive the boat with a helmsman and sailor. In addition, only female secretaries were brought on board, and no male bodyguards were brought aboard.

This way Mina can relax and boldly dry her bikini on the boat, not afraid of other men seeing her.

It was a very slender and elegant sailboat, only about three meters wide, less than the width of a bedroom. The middle cabin is about two meters wide and can only fit down the width of a bed, and there are side decks of half a meter each on either side.

The length of the hull is more than 20 meters, and the length-to-width ratio is more than eight times, and it is easy to be unstable by side waves, so a stabilizing fin sticks out of the left and right sides of the hull, which is connected to two torpedo-like pointed streamlined pontoons, so that it is as stable as a trimaran.

The key selling point why Mina chose this boat at first sight was the design of the stern. The stern of the sailboat is an inverted U-shaped notch, leaving an area about 1 meter wide and two or three meters long with an arc at the top.

This curved gap is about 1 meter below sea level, and seawater naturally rushes in to fill it. However, because the total draft of the sailboat is about 1.5 meters, there is still a bottom under the notch, and guests on board can go here to soak in the sea water and enjoy the sunbathing.

"It feels so good here. You don't need a pulse water massage to soak here, and it is very comfortable just by the natural flow of the sea water next to the boat. ”

Mina soaked in the inverted U-shaped notch in the stern for a moment, and then narrowed her eyes in comfort.

On the right-hand side of the shore, the Provençal and Tuscan coastal buildings pass by, and the bright tones of Southern France and Italy are very eye-catching.

After a few minutes, she was a little disgusted with the sun and wanted to apply sunscreen, so Gu Biao thoughtfully pressed the button on the railing next to her, and the retractable awning at the top of the notch immediately stretched out, blocking the sun.

The female secretary Li Qiaotong also wore Bini, made a plate of cold drinks and dessert sets, put it on a two-foot-long wooden boat-shaped tray, tied it to the railing with nylon rope, put it down, and invited the boss and the proprietress to enjoy: "Boss, drink some coconut smoothie, don't get dehydrated after a long time." ”

Gu Biao and Mina casually picked up the smoothie-filled coconut, took a few sips, and let out a long breath of cool and pleasant cold air.

Mina couldn't help but nest in Gu Ao's arms for a while, while unconsciously patting the edge of the pool, it seemed that some questions suddenly came to mind:

"Husband, why is the edge of this small pool notch such a soft and elastic rubber air cushion? Is it afraid that the guests will hurt when they hit the edge of the pool? ”

Gu Biao was slightly surprised: "You don't understand this, then how did you get on this boat?"

Mina thought she was ignorant, so she twisted and coquettishly said, "You're bad, I just bought this boat because it was beautiful and slim! I'm a liberal arts student, what else do you expect me to know? Is there a sophisticated design here?"

Gu Biao smiled smugly, he obviously read the manual before paying just now, and after all, he had seen a lot of exquisite designs in his later life.

So he snapped his fingers, and the female secretary immediately came over.

"Go and tell the helmsman of the tank, stop the boat, and put the jet ski down. ”

"Okay, I'll go. Li Xiaotong obediently agreed, and immediately walked into the cabin.

After more than ten seconds, Mina saw the mainsail dozens of meters high slowly descending from the magnesium-aluminum alloy mast, and the sound sounded very soft and comfortable, obviously the lifting motor of the hoisting sail was of good quality, stable and silent.

In the 80s, carbon fiber materials were still in the early stages of research and development, and there was almost no mass use in engineering, so the best Regal sailboats were magnesium-aluminum alloy hulls and masts, which were light and strong. In particular, the height of the mast of a sailboat can easily exceed the length of the hull in most cases, and if the mast material is too heavy, coupled with the torsional moment, it is easy for the center of gravity to be unstable and overturn.

Once the sails had been lowered and the boat had come to a stop, Mina saw the girl in Bini climb up to the roof of the cabin, unlock the rigging that hoisted the sails, and attach it to a one-meter-wide and three-meter-long motorboat resting on the roof.

Then he leaned down and made an OK gesture to the front glass of the cockpit, and when the helmsman inside saw it, he started the winch motor again, lifted the motorboat up, and then slowly lowered the hoisting rope after the boom was stretched flat, and the motorboat stopped steadily in the water.

This small motorboat should also play the role of a lifeboat for this sailboat, and the difference in displacement tonnage between the two is dozens of times, so it is very convenient to put the small motorboat on the roof of the cockpit of the big ship.

"Let's go on a jet ski, and you'll understand what that design is for. Gu Biao smiled mysteriously at Mina.

Mina is a northerner, and she is from the interior of the Great Northwest, and the water quality is very poor, and before Gu Biao, she couldn't swim at all. After following Gu Biao, he gradually learned a little bit by following the customs, but he only dared to play in the still water swimming pool, or go to the beach to bare-bubble and not swim.

Although she is so rich now, Mina still hasn't played a jet ski, it's purely a matter of guts, not conditions.

"Then I'm going to wear a life jacket with you, hold it tight, you can't do dangerous tricks to trick me. Mina thought about it and grabbed her husband to prevent him from leaving.

"How could I fool you, I'm showing you the new features. Gu Biao obeyed the advice and immediately asked the female secretary to get the largest life jacket.

The largest life jacket generally prepared on the yacht is for those super fat people who are more than 200 pounds, because no one can guarantee that there are super fat people among the guests invited by the yacht owner, and they cannot not have large life jackets because the owner himself is slim.

Gu Biao and Mina together are only more than 200 pounds, especially Mina has been very thin in her early years because of intestinal circumcision, and she has always been only about 80 pounds tall, she sticks to Gu Ao's back, and she can't add much thickness at all, so the couple can wear a super fat life jacket completely.

In this way, Mina is completely relieved, her husband can't trick her into choking water, hum, she wants to die together.

Gu Biao just felt that the two balls were a little strange to squeeze behind him, and there was no other discomfort.

Then he kicked the accelerator, and the motorboat rushed to a super speed of more than 40 knots in just a dozen seconds, causing Mina to scream and then wrap it tighter. Not only did he hold his waist with his hands, but he even wrapped his legs, like an octopus, so that Gu Biao had to sigh that his wife's joints were flexible, and her legs could be wrapped so high, in the end, it was the potential to be forced out in a dangerous environment.

Fortunately, Gu Biao didn't mean to play Mina, he just went around for a little three or five minutes, circled around a radius of two nautical miles, and then rowed back to the back of the sailboat in a graceful arc, slowly slowing down and leaning up.

"You're necrotic, you're necrotic, you're necrotic!" Mina let go of her hand and began to scratch her fists, she stretched out her arm from behind to hug Gu Ao's chest, so she could just shake her forearm and beat Gu Ao's chest, it was just that the strength of this angle was relatively weak.

Gu Biao enjoyed being hammered in the chest with a small fist, and proudly showed his generosity: "If I really played you, you would have fallen into the sea just now - don't think that you can't fool you by wearing a swimsuit with me, but I can hold my breath for at least two minutes after going to the sea, and you will already choke miserably." ”

"Then I want to thank you for not playing tricks, don't I?" Mina's eyebrows were upside down, as difficult as a cat.

"That's not necessary, I'm just telling you, it's all basic operations just now, and it's really showing you the function - look, the drama is coming. Gu Biao said narrowly.

Mina then took her eyes off her husband's neck and looked ahead, but her head was still resting naturally on her husband's shoulder. The two of them were wearing life jackets, so they couldn't move their necks at too much angle, and even if they rested on each other's shoulders from behind, half of their faces would inevitably be close to their faces.

Then, Mina saw a design that was beyond her imagination.

The inverted U-shaped pool space in the center of the stern is exactly the same size and shape as this small motorboat.
