Chapter 868: Revenge in disguise

This division of labor is very reasonable, compared with Hong Tao, Tachibana does a good job of Japanese food and Western food, at least much better than the Chinese food that Hong Tao made up. In fact, Hong Tao's cooking skills are okay, but he has no love for cooking, and he can cook a few serious meals while he is fresh at the beginning, and the more he gets later, the more he makes do. Every day is all kinds of bread slices and fried meatloaf, he eats it himself with relish, and everyone else is about to vomit, and now he can finally be relieved.

On May 23, after a long 12-day crawl, the Crazy Mouse III finally sailed out of the windless belt and into the trade wind belt, where the northeast wind blew all day. According to their current course, this wind direction behind the port side is most suitable for full speed, so Hong Tao, who had been suffocated for almost half a month, finally let out his joy. He raised the mainsail, nose jib, and ball sail and ran at a high speed of 25 knots for 13 hours before he was satisfied.

He's having a good time, and both Heard and Tachibana are tossed and laid down by him. The swells in the trade wind belt are already 4 or 5 meters high, and if you use the cruising speed, everyone can basically tolerate it, but with such a high speed to chop the waves, the violent bumps alone are unbearable. In addition, Hong Tao's driving skills are just like that, once the bow of the ship is not successfully aligned with the surge, if it is directly photographed sideways, the entire hull will be the same as being hit by a train, and the people on the deck can be upside down without tying long, medium and short safety ropes.

In fact, Hong Tao himself is a little seasick, but he is a driver, and many times he can prepare in advance, and the seasickness is not very serious, and it is a little disgusting. The Rada is nothing at all. In her words, when she was training in the aviation school. The whole person was tied to the safety chair and did continuous tumbling and jumping, and a toss was an hour or two. Should vomit, should be disgusted by that time, they have all vomited, disgusting, this kind of small storm is not a problem at all.

Carol is active in the sea all year round, although he does not have the professional knowledge of Lada, but his body adapts quickly, and the symptoms of seasickness are milder than those of Hong Tao, but he feels a little headache. But Heard and Tachibana are not the same, they are strictly speaking, ticket holders, neither professionally trained, nor frequent sea activities. Even if you sail with other sailboats and yachts, people don't play so hard. The two of them almost vomited out all their bitter gall, and when they lay down, they spun around, sat up, and stood up, and they couldn't stay anywhere, they vomited whatever they ate, and they even vomited when they drank water.

"You have to eat and drink, too! If you don't eat or drink, your body will weaken, and your symptoms will be worse, and you may even have a high fever!" Rada was the only one here who had experienced this. So her opinion is the final ruling.

"You two either eat it yourself, or tie it up and pinch your nose and pour it, and choose for yourself!" Hong Tao felt guilty, because he was happy for a while. It made them both so uncomfortable. But you have to be ruthless when you should be ruthless, once they have a high fever, it will be a big problem. It's more than 1,000 kilometers from Lima. This is not North America. You can radio the Coast Guard planes and boats to come to the rescue, and you can shout in this area. The other party can only answer you with one sentence: try to maintain your speed and actively save yourself. Waiting for rescue! The countries around here are so poor that they can't open the pot, where are helicopters and high-speed patrol boats to rescue you, it's not that you don't want to save them, but you don't have those equipment at all.

"You...... You're deliberately taking revenge on me......" As soon as Hilde picked up the bowl of oatmeal, he couldn't help but retch again, and there was nothing left in his stomach, even the gastric juice was vomited.

"Let's take it, if you don't drink it, I'll have more cruel methods, so this is considered poison, and you have to swallow it! And you, don't just look at her, you too, drink it immediately!" Hong Tao tried to make his facial expression more hideous, his tone more brutal, and he had to match his body movements, viciously forcing Hilde and Tangerine Cai to take up the porridge bowl, tilt their necks and close their eyes, just like drinking medicinal soup, and pour themselves into it.

"Vomit...... Dozens ......of seconds later, Hilde and Tachibana began to vomit on the toilet in the bathroom.

"You go and boil more porridge, and then pour it! When will you stop throwing up, when will you be able to sleep!" Hong Tao can be regarded as a bad guy to the end, he plans to be a Mongolian doctor once, just two words: evil treatment!

You may not have seen how to cook on a sailboat, in fact, this problem Hong Tao didn't know much when he first came into contact with sailing, or he didn't notice it at all. It wasn't until he and Eliza were on their way back to Santa Cruz from Ventura that he went to the kitchen to make lunch while the ship was speeding up at high speed.

In the galley of the sailboat, the oven and gas stove are all integrated, from top to bottom is a large stainless steel cabinet, with an oven below and a gas stove above. On either side of this thing, there is usually a vegetable counter, and behind it is a sink, and these pieces of furniture are similar to the whole cabinet, but they are fixed to the hull of the boat. The upper edge will be more than ten centimeters higher, this is to prevent plates, bowls or water from falling out due to the tilting and shaking of the hull.

But what opened Hong Tao's eyes the most was not the furniture, but the oven stove. Eliza was sailing at the time, with a crosswind of about 20 knots and a speed of 13 knots, but the hull roll was at a great angle. Hong Tao stood in front of the stove and pondered for a long time, but he couldn't figure out how to put the pot on the stove without letting it tip over, so he had no choice but to ask Eliza. As a result, Eliza dragged him to the kitchen and pulled a mechanism under the stove, and the whole stove suddenly moved. It automatically flips to an angle, and the countertop is almost at a 45-degree angle to the wall, which looks funny, but it is safe to put the pot on it.

This phenomenon does not need Eliza to sue Hong Tao, Hong Tao can figure it out by himself. This oven cooktop should have a shaft in the middle with both ends fixed to the bearings and a counterweight at the bottom. Usually plug that latch in, and the oven cooktop is just like the furniture on both sides, and the hull is tilted. If the latch is opened, the oven cooktop becomes an automatic leveling device, and no matter how tilted the hull is, its whole body will rotate on that shaft, and it will remain level forever, which is a really amazing idea.

In this way, even when the hull is tilted at a large angle and rocks back and forth, with the special bracket on the stove, the kitchen can still be stir-fried and cooked. Of course, Hong Tao tried, and it was still possible to simply cook something, hot things, and bake something, but it was not possible to do it if it was slightly complicated. Because the oven stove can automatically find the balance, but the chef can't find it, many times the chef sees the bottom of the pot, and he can't even see what the dishes in the nest look like, why are you frying?

Therefore, when going on a long voyage, everyone tries to prepare fast food and canned food, and if they can, they will not open a group, which not only saves a lot of trouble, but also ensures the personal safety of the chef. After all, guarding a large soup pot in a rickety kitchen is still very infiltrating, maybe a huge wave will hit you, and this soup pot will be deducted from you.

As for the problem of seasickness, in fact, every sailor on a long voyage has to get seasick, which is not surprising at all, but the journey is light and heavy. Even those professional athletes who participate in the Ocean Race still have to vomit when they encounter strong winds and waves, but they usually have an event in their training, which is called anti-seasickness, so even if they vomit a lot, they still don't delay their work. And ordinary sailing enthusiasts will not become, you can't eat anything if you vomit, and if you don't eat two meals, your body will be soft, let alone on the deck, and you may not even be able to climb up.

Fortunately, Hilde and Tangerine Cai's body is not bad, after Hong Tao's bad treatment, their symptoms on the third day are really much better, at least they don't have to be with the toilet all day, and they can also take the initiative to feel their appetite, which is basically surviving. But the two of them were really unlucky, the symptoms of seasickness had just improved, the destination of the voyage was Lima, and when the ship docked, the two began to vomit again, and could not stand up holding on to the railing of the pier.

Why do you vomit when you arrive at the port? This is actually a normal phenomenon, and the scientific name is called land sickness! That's right, it means that you are also sick on land! Seasickness is because the body's inner ear vestibular terminal receptors respond to violent shaking and send electrical signals to the central nervous system to warn them. This electrical signal stimulates the central nervous system and causes the body to produce symptoms of vertigo, which is called the dizziness threshold. Everyone's stunting threshold is different, i.e., the tolerance level is different. People with high tolerance have less obvious symptoms, and people with low tolerance have more severe symptoms.

As we all know, the human body has habits, which means that the various organs of the human body can self-regulate according to the environment. The reason why Heard and Tachibana's symptoms slowly improved was that the organs of the human body began to gradually adapt to the turbulence of the sailboat, and no longer tried to alert the nerve center. But as soon as they stepped on the land of steady dìng, the inner ear vestibule was confused again, and it was still swaying just now, why did it suddenly stabilize again? No, we have already adapted to swaying, and steadyness is an abnormal phenomenon, and we must alarm the nerve center!

As a result, the vestibule of the inner ear of the two of them began to discharge again, and then the two of them were in a state of vertigo again. This kind of problem does not mean that there is something wrong with the body organs of the two of them, it can only be said that some organs of the two of them are too sensitive and incurable, but they are born. It's not like there's nothing to be done, but it's too late now. If there is an experienced sailor here, he will definitely remind the crew who are prone to seasickness about an hour before docking, drink a little hard wine, so that the central nervous system can be paralyzed, so that it does not reflect so strongly, and after going ashore, sleep a little, whether it is seasickness or land sickness, the symptoms will disappear.
