Eliza's worry is Hong Tao's favorite, what old man is not old, he should actually not be far from the old man, safety first. And what's wrong with having a fast and stable ship, whoever loves jokes will laugh at it. As for Eliza's obsession, it's easy to solve, lift out her biggest weakness, Vanessa, and make her succumb in minutes!

In fact, when Eliza entered the cabin, she was not so opposed to Hong Tao buying the old man's boat, and the advantages of the catamaran were perfectly reflected at this time. The cabin is huge! On the left side of the hull is a bedroom with a bathroom and a double bed, and on the right side of the hull is an open kitchenette with a refrigerator, oven, microwave oven, and ice machine.

The main attraction is that the sofa room is located on the flybridge between the left and right hulls, with a row of portholes in the front and rear. Sitting here with a glass of wine, a cigar in my mouth, and a beautiful woman sitting on the sofa, watching the waves crash outside the porthole, the force must be very, very high. Of course, rolling the sheets with the undulations of the waves will taste good, and if you can match the rhythm of the waves, you may be able to save a lot of effort.

"It's okay, it's a weird design, you actually put the bridge on the aft deck, this kind of catamaran is usually in the center of the wheelhouse, and you're lucky to have bought a good boat that fits. After looking at the cabins and inspecting the engine room, Eliza began to inspect the deck equipment one by one, and she was quite satisfied with the layout of the sailboat.

"Is there any difference between this?" Hong Tao didn't understand the difference between the bridge in the stern and the middle, in his opinion, it should have a wider view and be safer, and the bridge of many fishing boats is in the middle of the hull.

"The big difference is that the bridge is in the middle, which takes up the area in the cabin, so you can't make it too big. Normally, a 26-foot sailboat, the bridge is very crowded with three or four people. But it would be much better on the back deck, you see, wouldn't it be very comfortable for the three of us to sit here? "The agent who sold the boat was a Russian immigrant, and not only did his name smell of vodka, but his mouth also had a strong beetroot soup accent. He helped Hong Tao answer this question, and deliberately pulled Hong Tao to sit on the large leather sofa on the back deck and compare it on the spot.

Indeed, the aft deck of the ship is very spacious, with a sofa on the left and right, and a coffee table in the middle that can be retracted into the deck. The two huge steering wheels were all at the back of the back deck, and there were three or four instruments on the bridge, but Hong Tao didn't know what those were yet.

"Comfort is only one aspect, the comfort of a sailboat is certainly not as good as that of a yacht, and if you are only looking for comfort, then there is no need to buy a sailboat. More important than comfort is maneuverability, and the biggest benefit of the aft deck helm station is that all the rope winches can be put together. You see, the three winches on the left and the three winches on the right can be operated by one person, which means that you can drive it alone. But it's a damn two-masted sailboat, so there's a winch on the foredeck, and you don't want to sail alone, at least not for a year. Eliza took the agent's words and talked about the impact of the bridge position on the sailboat from another aspect, and then did not forget to complain about Hong Tao's decision.

"I didn't plan to sail out on my own, unless I couldn't think of committing suicide, I had autism syndrome, and I had to have a partner with me for everything, so it wasn't a problem. Okay, let's settle it this way, for the sake of you being Russian, I won't bargain with you, send the contract to this address, and my lawyer will take care of the purpose first. Hong Tao felt that three hours was too long and too inky to buy a boat, and he planned to end the shopping operation.

"Wait, you have to indicate in the contract that the oyster paint on the bottom of the boat must be repainted, the oil and lubricant must also be new, there are two sail lines that are old, I need new ones, you also need a ball sail, I don't want a spliced low-grade sail, I want a high-end sail that is customized as a whole!" Elisa was much more serious about buying things than Hong Tao, a loser, and when she saw that Hong Tao was going to pay, she immediately proposed preferential terms to the agent.

"The bottom coat and oil and sail rope are fine, but the sail is too difficult, this boat is not equipped with sails, and there is no need for sails in Lake Ontario! I will lose money if I have to form a sail at one time......" The agent listened to Eliza's words, the smile on his face immediately disappeared, and directly turned into a bitter melon, and he looked at Hong Tao for help, and he was about to give Hong Tao a face.

"How much is that sail?" Hong Tao felt that this agent was quite decent, and he even packaged the knick-knacks in the cabin, and he was not the kind of profiteer who took advantage of it. There is no need to push him too much, and the more honest he is, the more he bullies. And Hong Tao should also be a newcomer when he listens to his accent, it is not easy for them to find a job, and the price of selling a boat directly determines how much his commission is.

"A spliced sail costs more than 1,000 Canadian dollars, and a high-end sail costs more than 2,000 Canadian dollars, I really don't have that much power......" The agent simply complained to Hong Tao directly, and he also saw that this man was much better at talking than that woman.

"It's done, I'll add an extra 1,500 Canadian dollars, you give me a high-grade sail, this is the final condition, if you don't agree, then I'll choose someone else's boat." In addition, what you just said is very inappropriate, there is no need for sails in Lake Ontario, but my heart is to the stars and the sea, this little broken boat is my training boat, and I will be driving a galleon around the world this time next year. So you can't kill a navigator's dream because of a sail, if Columbus didn't have the support of the Empress, maybe the American continent would still be the world of the Indians, and you naturally wouldn't be able to work here, right?" Hong Tao doesn't care about these little money, but his interest in educating people at any time is getting bigger and bigger, and he is no longer satisfied with being a Hong Taostan, he also wants to be Hong Taobu, Hong Taolun, Hong Tao Gamma!

I don't know if the 1,500 Canadian dollars played a role, or if I was moved by Hong Tao's lofty ideals, the agent finally agreed to equip the boat with a high-end sail. And according to Hong Tao's request, the name of the ship was changed to the Crazy Mouse, not only on the nameplate at the stern, but also on the sides of the ship with red paint, and the font must be eye-catching, windy, and huge! If it weren't for the fact that there was not so much space on the hull, Hong Tao would still want to spray a rat's head again, so he would copy it 100% according to the one on his back.

"Mad Mouse...... I'm curious, why do you Chinese use a mouse as a mascot, is it cute?" Eliza could not convince Hong Tao of this move, he could give in to the shape of the boat, the hull, but he was very stubborn in these small details.

"This is the cultural difference, there are only 12 kinds of people in China, and all Chinese were born in these 12 years. For example, my father and I may have been born in the same year, can you understand? Later, when I have time, I will find you two ancient Chinese books to read, and you will understand. According to our Chinese algorithm, you should belong to the ox or the tiger, and I think you are closer to the latter, always fierce. You're a woman, you have to speak quietly and smile when you're fine...... Okay, I don't interfere with your freedom, and you don't interfere with mine, just the Crazy Mouse!" Hong Tao didn't have the patience to explain to Elisa how the twelve phases came about, and taking the opportunity to be angry was what he wanted, and this woman was even more interesting when she was angry.

I have a boat, although it is only an 8-meter-long sailboat, but Hong Tao also has to show off. Who to show off? This question troubled Hong Tao all afternoon. Tan Jing and the others are far away in the United States, and they will definitely not come back to see their boat; Sergei is making every effort to prepare for his nightclub, and he has no time to take care of himself; Kuroko has never shown up since he picked up the three buddies, and he is a landlubber, he gets dizzy when he sees water, and it is obviously not reliable to expect him to praise Hong Tao's new boat; Oski and Oya can't count on it, and after Nina comes back, she won't allow the two children to go crazy with Hong Tao anymore, let alone allow them to follow Hong Tao to drive any sailboats.

Roman said that he had a yacht when he was young, and then he sold it when he couldn't play with it, and his only reaction to Hong Tao's purchase of a small broken boat was to say: Don't forget to wear a life jacket!!

"I don't call Rudy and Tina yet, if Tina finds out that you can't even raise the sails, I'm afraid it won't be good to ask her out in the future. Girls always want their boyfriends to be heroes, not stupid!" Eliza thought that she would be able to relax for a few days after helping Hong Tao buy a boat, but she was disappointed again. Not only can she not be idle, but she is even busier than before, Hong Tao is not at her house every day, except for sleeping, she soaks in her house almost all day. Holding several books about navigation, the reason why he wanted to read them at her home, Hong Tao said that it was to ask him what he didn't understand in time.

"That's right, then don't tell them yet, and let them see my new ship after school starts." I've decided that we'll be on board tomorrow for an internship, and Vanessa will let Nina watch for you, and she'll be with Oski as her companion. You go to bed early, I have made an appointment with an agent of a watermaker to talk to him and install a watermaker for us. "Hong Tao didn't mean to toss Elisa these days, he was really learning a bit about sailing. Of course, he learns at home, but it's not interesting to learn alone, he likes to learn for a while and then find someone to discuss and discuss, and then learn, so that it is easy to understand and remember.
