Chapter 886: **Trouble (Plus Update)

The route from Ushuaia to Buenos Aires is nearly 4,000 kilometers, with several Argentine ports in between, but Hong Tao does not want to stop, and sometimes he even wants to cross the South Atlantic directly from Cape Horn to the Cape of Good Hope in Africa, which is more exciting and challenging. After experiencing the Drake Passage, his resistance to the sea has increased to a new level, and this kind of petty fight in the westerly wind belt does not arouse the slightest sense of fear in addition to annoying him. If the adventure is no longer fearful, then it is still a fart, it is better to go back to Lake Ontario and save money.

However, he still suppressed his ever-expanding **, luck is a limited quantity, and not every time it can be squandered at will. I was just 24 years old, and I couldn't consume my good luck too hard, otherwise I wouldn't be unlucky in the next few decades.

Meals should be eaten one bite at a time, from hundreds of kilometers to thousands of kilometers, and now can be 4 or 5,000 kilometers of direct flights, this is continuous progress. This question is very important, I can't play anything for long, and many things are thrown away without understanding it, which has a lot to do with this one-step habit. Before you come up with a fun game, let's take it easy and experience the fun.

The South Atlantic Ocean is more tyrannical than the South Pacific, and it is no wonder that Magellan gave the name of the Pacific Ocean after entering the western sea from the Strait of Magellan, which is indeed calmer in comparison. But for Hong Tao, the voyage in the South Atlantic is much more comfortable than in the South Pacific. It's okay to have a little more wind and higher waves, the point is that the Mad Mouse III is eating the wind on the port side right now.

Why is the port side so comfortable to eat the wind? It's not because of the left rudder that Jon's fuck-out design. Now standing behind the steering wheel is 100% vantage point, except for the split waves in the bow that can splash some. It's all blocked by the windshield, and the rest of the time there will be no waves at all, and the whole body is dry. Compared to the sea water, which is always wet all over the body and always bitter in the mouth, it is obviously much more comfortable.

At the end of June, 4 days after leaving Ushuaia, the horizon appeared in front of the Mad Mouse III again, and the noisy robbers appeared on the mast again, those seabirds are so annoying that they will eat while you eat. Swoop down suddenly, snatch food out of your hands, and leave puddles of on your sails and decks. Hong Tao regretted a little that he didn't bring an automatic rifle on the boat in the first place, so he wouldn't care about any animal protection, and whoever dared to torture himself would have to eat bullets!

In 4 days, the Crazy Mouse III has just traveled a distance of more than 1,000 kilometers, and it is definitely not land, where is this?

"Able-Sierra-Able-72061, please identify yourself. You've entered the Royal Navy's no-sail zone, identify yourself immediately, and you're done!"

"Able-Sierra-Able-72061, please identify yourself. You've entered the Royal Navy's no-sail zone, identify yourself immediately, and you're done!"

"Big mouse, big mouse, we seem to be in trouble!" Suddenly, there was a very discordant voice from the radio station, shouting endlessly! Of course, Hong Tao couldn't hear it. But Carol heard it, and immediately picked up the horn and shouted at the bow of the ship.

"What the hell? Royal Navy no-sail zone, where have we been?" Hong Tao heard Carroll's mournful shout. Running back to the bridge with his pants on, he suddenly found his balance unusually strong since he performed a walk-free deck walk in the Drake Passage, so he lost two of his seat belts, leaving only the longest one.

“…… I just looked at you guys, and it turned out to be a little off course...... We seem to be 9 nautical miles away from Weddell Island...... "Carol is a little embarrassed, a big girl is so focused on watching other people's performances that she actually deviates from the course.

"You're about to be tied to the mast! Give it to me!" Hong Tao glanced at the chart, and his nose was almost crooked. Where did this Nima deviate a little bit, she forgot to turn, it is worth it for more than two hours, Carol didn't look at GPS and charts at all, just watching a romantic action movie here, or a live-action live version.

"I'm Able-Sierra-Able-72061, Los Angeles registered, 57-foot dhow, I'm Captain Ait Hong, there's something wrong with the navigation equipment on board, ask for help!Again, I'm Able-Sierra-Able-72061, Los Angeles registered, 57-foot dhow, I'm Captain Aite Hong, there's something wrong with the navigation equipment on board, ask for help!" Hong Tao picked up the VHF radio and began to report his identity. I made up a nonsense in an instant, and then wiped a hand of seawater from the windshield, unscrewed the fuse on the GPS device, and after it was stained with water, I plugged it back again, and then the screen of this device flashed and went black!

Here is a brief introduction to the communication problems when sailing, first of all, how to communicate with other ships and dock navigation. On sailboats, there are generally two kinds of communication equipment, one is VHF (very high frequency) radio, which is the same thing as the handset that is usually installed by riders, but the power is higher, and the communication distance is about 30 nautical miles. Since VHF is not reflected by the ionosphere, it is affected by the Earth's surface and the signal travels no more than 50 kilometers at most, unless you make the mast higher.

There are many channels in VHF Radio, except for some emergency channels that cannot be occupied, and everyone who uses this device can choose any channel to shout or listen, just like a chat room. Later, in order to facilitate contact, we made some private agreements, for example, in North America, the captains generally choose channel 16 to contact each other, and in Europe, channel 12 is used. If you want to talk alone, agree on a channel number with the other party, and then switch to a one-on-one chat. This kind of communication equipment can only be used for short-distance communication, such as you need to enter or leave the port, or report some unexpected situations on the route, and the rest is to chat and relieve boredom.

What if you want to make a remote call? You have to use a radio called SSB (Single SideBand). This kind of radio station belongs to short-wave communication, just like our short-wave radio, which can receive signals from far away, and the communication distance can reach about 2,000 kilometers at most.

However, this thing requires a license, which is commonly known as ham in our country, and you must take a license before you can get a registered call sign, and it is a bit difficult to use, and people who have not played this thing can't play it. 、

Does Hong Tao have a license? Will he be able to play? The former question is no! The latter question is yes!

Hong Tao has been a ham in his last life, although the technology is average, but the normal sending and receiving is no problem, but he has not taken the ham license in this life, this set of equipment is completely illegal, he installed it privately in Ventura, the call sign is not illegal, but the registrant is not him, to put it bluntly, it is a set of impostor black equipment.

If it was on land, it wouldn't take him a few times before he would be spotted by the local radio authority, and then the police would come knocking on the door. But on the sea, who cares if you are legal or not, today you are still in Chile, tomorrow you will be in Argentina, if you want to catch you, there is nowhere to catch you, you can use it, you can still drive an aircraft carrier to chase me for a set of black equipment?

What was shouting on the radio just now was a message from the VHF radio station, which meant that the other party was very close to here. So what is that Able-Sierra-Able-72061 they are shouting? This is the question of navigation rules, Able and Sierra are both English alphabetical codes in nautical terms, one is A, the other is S.

It is said that this thing was made by the Americans, and after World War II, there were ships and warships sailing in every ocean in the world, as well as ships from countless allied countries, and people with various accents, although they all spoke English, but Indian English and Japanese English are not the same language at all, and it is easy to listen to them. What should I do? Simply don't say anything A, B, C, or D...... Let's just say the word, so you can tell which letter you're talking about.

Able-Sierra-Able-72061, which translates to the ASA72061 number, is the ship number registered by the American Sailing Federation of the Mad Mouse III, a number of a boat, and the same as the car's driving license, is a representative of the ship's identity, and is used all over the world. Knowing the number of your ship, you can find out the type of your ship, the company or individual to which it belongs, and then cooperate with the logbook to know where your ship has been from the day it left the factory, and who it has been sold to on which day.

Then the question arises again, who is the Royal Navy on the radio? Although the other party did not fully identify himself, Hong Tao knew by looking at the charts that Jinnyima might be the Royal Navy! Which Royal Navy is there, the Royal Navy of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland! Because Carroll forgot to turn the rudder, the Crazy Mouse III plunged headlong into the waters of the Falkland Islands.

The Falkland Islands, the Argentines call it the Malvinas Islands, the British and the Argentines just fought here a few years ago, although the Royal Navy, which claims to be the first in the world, won, but the process is a bit miserable, if it weren't for the French cutting off the missile supply to the Argentine Air Force, in the end who will lose and who will win is still two words. The archipelago is currently occupied by the British. Although several years have passed since the war, the Argentines have not been convinced, and it is estimated that the British stationed here are not very steady, staring at the radar all day long, for fear that the Argentine Phantom plane or missile speedboat or something will suddenly come out and give them a few Exocet missiles. (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!!
