"How did you master this advanced nautical knowledge?" Thomas was stunned when he saw Jiang Zhuyi's neat energy, he couldn't think of an inland official, who was so young, where did he learn this knowledge.

Sailing entirely on a sextant is no longer an ordinary captain, you have to be called a navigator. The highest level of sailing captain exam does not require candidates to navigate completely with a sextant, it is only an emergency measure, and those who can roughly discern the course are considered to be qualified.

"If that's advanced seamanship, then I'm a little bit of a knower...... Isn't the current captain doing this?" Jiang Zhuyi was also a little confused, why was Thomas so surprised by such a simple reason? Could it be that the set of things he learned from Hong Tao was outdated? There was a more awesome way?

"It's only done by top sailors, and it requires a lot of physical strength, a lot of experience, and a lot of navigation. Even then, there are often cases of hull loss and loss, do you think he will do it alone?"

Thomas was a sailing enthusiast as Ruyter when he was younger, and even when he went to Hong Kong, he would invite a few friends to rent a sailboat and go around every year. He was no stranger to the way Jiang Zhuyi said, but he had never tried it, let alone mastered it. That's a routine that only professional players play, and it needs to be assisted by professional equipment, and who has nothing to do with amateurs to challenge this kind of thing.

"Why don't we make a bet, I'll bet on Aite to win. Your car is good, if I lose, let him buy you another one; if I win, your car belongs to me, do you bet or not?" Jiang Zhuyi and Hong Tao have been staying for a long time and have contracted a bad disease, and she doesn't feel it herself.

Thomas was lucky, he didn't seem to be very good at gambling by nature, and he didn't dare to gamble if he couldn't figure out the details of Jiang Zhuyi, so he cheekily pretended not to hear, and went into the cockpit to find the captain to hide.

Or that he had sent a message to Ruyt, and in any way, he had much more to do with Ruyt than with Hong Tao. As for saying that a son-in-law is not a son-in-law, it doesn't count until he sees Hong Tao and Diane's marriage certificate.

It is not far from the port of Cape Town to the Cape of Good Hope, the distance in a straight line by land is less than 50 kilometers, and the sea route is about 70, which is more than 30 nautical miles. The crosswind of the small sailboat can run at a speed of eight or nine nautical miles per hour, and it will take five hours to count the sea conditions and the necessary detour.

Almost as soon as the sun was showing its face from the horizon, Hong Tao also saw the lighthouse of the Cape of Good Hope, and then began to turn, and trotted faster than a dog or a rabbit by the strong wind blowing from the side and behind him, and galloped towards the port of Cape Town.

More than half an hour later, he met Ruyt, who was still battling against the headwind. In order to anger the old man, Hong Tao deliberately drew a big arc and passed by the old man's boat. But this time, Ruyter did not scold or get angry, but took off his hat and put it on his chest, giving Hong Tao a standard sailor salute.

Convinced, this is considered convinced, Ruyt admits defeat. Foreigners are not all so happy, there are many people who are thieves, and there are many who are cautious, but there are more people like Ruyter who are willing to bow to the strong.

In their eyes, there is no distinction between age, elders, juniors, masters, apprentices, and official positions, as long as you are powerful and don't deliberately insult people, generally speaking, you will really be convinced, convinced.

Winning an old man, or an old man who loves the sea, Hong Tao really doesn't think it's so glorious. The return voyage was a smooth journey, the sky was bright, and the rain stopped.

Hong Tao simply lowered the sails, and then took Jiang Zhuyi from the fishing boat to his small sailboat, and the two of them sat side by side in the stern of the boat, whispering, basking in the sun and drifting with the current. He wanted to fully enjoy the leisure time with Jiang Zhuyi, and by the way, he also reminisced about the original days.

After drifting for more than an hour, Ruyt's sailboat caught up, and Hong Tao raised the mainsail and continued his journey at cruising speed. Ruyt always drove the boat to follow Hong Tao at a distance of more than 100 meters, and did not overtake. Only one of the two fishing boats remained, and the other had already returned to Cape Town to report the news.

Towards noon, the two small sailing boats finally saw the breakwater, and the waves gestured for Ruyt's ship to catch up, and then sailed side by side into the harbor. At this time, the beach next to the harbor has been erected and the long table has been stacked as it was last night, and it seems that there is still a need for celebration.

If you want to say that these foreigners have enough social opportunities, they have to call friends to join in the fun. It doesn't matter what the excuse is, most people don't come here for this, after a few words of the scene, everyone is talking about their own things, and most of the topics are irrelevant to the topic, they just take the opportunity to get together and chat.

Ruyter was not ashamed to lose to an unknown young man, on the contrary, he was very proud, and whenever he was ready, he would pull Hong Tao over and introduce him to the other party, as if he were the victor.

Of course, he didn't ask much about what technique Hong Tao used to make the little sailboat run so fast, but unfortunately there was no result. It's not that Hong Tao doesn't want to teach him, but he can't teach him.

This point was also strongly appreciated by Madame Ruit, what age are you, is it meaningful to play this kind of life? Like to like, if you have the conditions to go to the sea, you can go to the sea whenever you want, you are already happier than the vast majority of people in the world, what kind of bicycle?

But there was one person who was not very satisfied, Jiang Zhuyi looked at Hong Tao with the virtue of a victor and was a little jealous, so he discussed with Dan Yi, men can play sailing, and women can't be idle. Let's just have a swimming competition, starting from the beach, the breakwater is the transit point, and whoever returns to the beach first is the champion.

So after lunch, the beach turned into a swimsuit show, and most of the women didn't plan to compete for any championship, but focused on showing off themselves. In addition to the body, there are also swimsuits, and whoever wears it tastefully and sexy is awesome.

Needless to say, Jiang Zhuyi couldn't see anyone else behind him when he came back, most of the ladies gave up within a few minutes of going to the sea, and more than a dozen of them worked hard for a long time to reach the breakwater at most, and then they had no strength to swim back. Not everyone can complete the two-kilometer sea swim, let alone ladies, and few of the men present can have fun.

Compared with Hong Tao, the sailing champion, Jiang Zhuyi's swimming champion is obviously more popular. Before she could change her clothes, a large number of men went up to shout and praise her.

A person who was thin and couldn't squeeze in simply made a poem for Jiang Zhuyi, and licked his face and read it in public with the band's microphone on stage. Fortunately, Hong Tao didn't understand Afrikans, otherwise he would have to vomit. In Dan's words, the poem is too sensual. Of course, it could also be jealousy, because no man wrote poetry to her.
