"It's cost-effective, I'm Nima, I'm self-inflicted, the main striker of the national team...... Hey, hey, hey...... I like it, I have a personality! I actually know that I pretend to be pitiful to deceive me, and I almost let you get it, it seems that those who engage in sports are not simple-minded and have developed limbs, and there are still a few who are as sincere as Eliza! In the future, I will have to socialize with them, except for the lack of experience, it is really dynamic and enthusiastic!" Hong Tao only realized at this time, it turned out that he was unknowingly tricked by this Luciana, she Nima was not afraid of any police chief or his son at all, with her identity as a national team as a talisman, as long as it was not in North Korea, no one dared to treat her well, she was too sensitive!

Eventually, Hong Tao listened to Luciana's advice, turned the ship's bow, and sailed back to Argentine waters, docking at the small port called Besoli. After sending Luciana ashore, she hoisted the sails again and sailed directly northeast to the open sea. Montevideo doesn't plan to stop again, and his next stop is directly to the northern Brazilian seaport of San Luis, where he will stop for supplies and once again challenge the windless zone to return to the United States by August.

The reason why I am in such a hurry to return to the United States is that the listing time of Netscape has been set, which is the first Monday of August, that is, August 7. As for whether this day is the listing time of Netscape in the previous life, Hong Tao is not clear, this question is actually not important, it doesn't matter if it is two days earlier or two days late. Now Hong Tao no longer cares about influencing the original direction of the world, his purpose is only to use Netscape and Yahoo to make money, and the reason why he was cautious in the past was mainly for fear of affecting the listing of their two companies. Now that it's almost there, who cares about the rest of it. Love doesn't affect it, anyway, the money is in hand!

In addition, Hong Tao also made a phone call to Ms. Jiang. Let her tell Ralph to thank him for his help this time, and if there is any trouble on the Argentine side, then go back to China first, and help him solve the problem when she has her hands free. But what is the trouble, Hong Tao has no face to explain to Ms. Jiang that he was chased and ran all over the estuary with his bare buttocks, and he almost didn't run away, and he didn't have a long face when he said it. It doesn't do you any good idea of what a positive image you have.

Sailing north from the east coast of South America along the coastlines of Uruguay and Brazil is completely different from following the west coast all the way south. It's getting colder and colder, it's getting hotter and hotter, it's getting more and more desolate there, and you don't see ships on the sea for a day or two, but here it's getting more and more lively, and since you enter the Brazilian seas and pass through Porto Alegre, there are ships passing by on the sea every day. A wide variety of boats. It is as large as a container ship that moves like a city on the sea, and as small as a sailboat that is only about 5 meters long.

Hong Tao admires these Brazilian fishermen, who come out to fish in small boats, usually brothers, fathers and sons, or husband and wife, relying on a clattering diesel engine and a tattered sail several meters high. If you are swaying, you dare to come out for hundreds of kilometers. Compared to themselves, they are real navigators, if the Mad Mouse III is given to them. They would surely be able to easily go fishing on the opposite coast of Africa. What a transatlantic ah, in their opinion. It's just a long trip every 5 or 6 days, and the sea is their city. Going from the west side of the city to the east to work, is that still a problem?

However, these boats startled the waves at first, and the first contact with them was off the coast of São Paulo. It happened to be the night shift of Hong Tao, the sky had just dawned, the mast light had not been extinguished, and the Crazy Mouse III was slowly sailing on the sea at a speed of 5 knots with half sails, and a point of light suddenly appeared in the direction of the port side.

Don't look at Hong Tao's small eyes, but he has a wide range of vision, and his eyesight is also very good, as soon as this point of light appeared, it was immediately captured by his small eyes, even in the early hours of the morning, he still maintained enough vigilance. The main reason is that there are too many ships coming and going in this sea area, and they have to slow down at night for fear of hitting a confused captain.

What does a point of light on the surface of the sea mean? There is only one possibility, and that is the ship! The location of the lighthouse is marked on the chart. What should I do if I encounter other ships on the sea? Don't rush to get up and say hello and chat, although sailing is a boring thing, it is not easy to meet living people, but safety is always the first thing. Because you don't know what kind of ship the other party is and what they're here for, the first thing you need to do is confirm the identity of the other party.

How do you know for sure? Look through a telescope first! It doesn't matter if it's too far away, and there's also a light signal and a radio call, and all ships have their signal lights on at night. Of course, this is only the ideal state, the state of being stored in books. Hong Taotong guò has been sailing for more than 3 months, and he has almost overturned half of the knowledge in the books, not that what he has learned in it is useless, but that the knowledge in the books is often a little different from the reality, and sometimes the gap is huge. So don't die of dogma, that would be very unlucky.

In the Hongtao telescope, what I saw was a small wooden sailboat, with no sails, let alone mast lights, which were not the light of mast lights, but more like flashlights or work lights on ships. According to Hong Tao's judgment, this should be a small fishing boat, which is carrying out fishing operations, but it is the first time he has seen such a small fishing boat in the open sea, and he is not sure. If you follow the tutorial in the book, now Hong Tao should turn the rudder to avoid, on the one hand, to prevent collision with the fishing boat, on the other hand, to prevent all kinds of nets hanging under the fishing boat, once these things are hung, then don't plan to leave, if you don't do it, you have to lose people's money.

But Hong Tao did not follow the process taught in the book, the reason is very simple, the book only said that he encountered a fishing boat in operation, but did not say what kind of fishing boat he encountered, how many fishing boats, and how to judge the scope of work of the fishing boat. At the beginning of last month, when he was off the coast of Chile, Hong Tao saw two trawlers pulling fishing nets several kilometers long on the surface of the sea.

In fact, when sailing on the sea, experienced captains and sailors are not afraid of any large cargo ships and passenger ships, not to mention their huge size, but the danger is extremely small. Because they have lights, horns, flags, radios, and a special person on the bridge who is responsible for patrolling the sea, you can see them from afar, or they can see you from afar. As soon as it spotted a ship near its course, it will sound its whistle and howl, and it can wake you up when you fall asleep.

But fishing vessels are different, and while the International Maritime Organization (IMO) has long prescribed safety measures, the situation varies from country to country, except for the kind of distant-water fishing fleet, which is rarely strictly adhered to by offshore fishing vessels, or the captain of the fishing vessel is not aware of these regulations at all. This makes it difficult for other ships to sail normally, and they can only judge by experience after encountering the situation, so an experienced old captain can invisibly help the shipowner solve a lot of troubles, which is why the captains on large ships are not too young, more than 40 are considered young, and 5 or 60-year-old captains are the main force. Because they have sailed long enough and have enough knowledge, making them captains is not how good their skills are, but they need to play a key role in this situation where they cannot rely on equipment and rules to judge right and wrong.

Hong Tao was about to play this role now, he instinctively didn't want to let the strange ship get close to him, so he first controlled the signal light on the mast and sent a question to the other party, but after waiting for a few minutes, there was no response. Seeing that the other party did not react, Hong Tao directly took out the signal gun, loaded a green signal flare and shot out, if the other party did not react, he was ready to go back to the cabin to get a sniper rifle and a bazooka.

"Get up, get up, pirate, pirate, what are you wearing, go steer and hoist the sails!" As soon as the flare was sent out, there was a reaction, but the reaction was a bit big. It was so big that Hong Tao rushed into the cabin, grabbed Lada and Carol, who were still asleep, from the bed, and didn't even let them wear clothes, and rushed to the deck to take the helm for himself. He himself rushed into the separate bedroom, picked up the big sniper from the mezzanine under the bed, ripped off the tarpaulin outside, began to load the magazines, and after filling the two magazines, he picked up a bazooka and ran to the deck.

"They...... They're all pirates? what are we going to do?" At this time, the sea in front of the Mad Mouse III was dotted with lights, not to mention more than 20 of them, and the distance was only about a kilometer. Carol began to be nervous again, and it was all about her appearance, but she didn't have it at all in her heart, and she was the first to panic when she encountered something.

"What else can I do, full sails, rush over, whoever dares to approach, I will kill him with one shot! Take this, in case a ship wants to come up, first shine a high beam on them, if they are not far away from our ship, just greet them, you're welcome, as long as you are within 100 meters, pull the trigger!" Hong Tao even had red eyes at this time, he pushed the bullet into his load with a bang, and handed the bazooka to Lada, and then he ran to the bottom of the mast, put the sniper's bracket on the roof of the cabin, and began to aim with the scope.

The mainsail of the Mad Mouse III slowly rose, the nose spinnaker gradually opened, and the ship's speed instantly increased to more than 10 knots. Carroll bit her lip and held the steering wheel in her hands, her legs still trembling involuntarily, but Radha was calmer, she did not pull off the safety pin of the bazooka, but climbed up the middle of the mast with a telescope and looked in the direction of the bow. (To be continued......)

PS: PS: There is no stock at the end of the month, so I can only add one more every day to express my heart, and replace the monthly pass at the beginning of the month.

If there is a monthly pass in the ticket holder now, pop papa...... It's not impossible to throw a few sheets!!
