"You're such a tormentor...... Ten degrees on the port side...... Eliza seemed to be tempted by Hong Tao, and did not stop Hong Tao, while reporting the course, she put her legs on the sofa, and then lay down, her head resting on her hands, ready to enjoy the speed and passion.

"Why is it only 7 knots? My sail is already full of wind! It should be more than 8 knots!" Hong Tao himself ran between the two sides, adjusting each of the relevant winches, and thought that he had made full use of the sail in the crosswind, but the speed had not yet reached his expectations.

"You forgot to put away the propeller blades...... Carelessness is the mortal wound of a sailor, I dare not sail the sea with a careless sailor, he will kill himself and me!" Eliza lay on the sofa in the stern of the boat, watching Hong Tao scurry around the back deck like a crazy mouse, knowing that something was wrong, but he just didn't warn Hong Tao until he was helpless.

"Okay, you've learned badly too...... It doesn't matter, it's enough to be careful with you. You are the captain of the ship, and I will be a coolie, hehehe...... 8 sections, hahaha...... "Hong Tao slapped his head,! This is a broken brain, when he left the port, he said that there was 5% resistance, but he forgot about it so quickly. When he put the paddles away, the pointer on the speedometer moved a little to the right.

“…… Come, reward me......" After adjusting the speed of the boat, the waves staggered back! Back to the aft sofa, the bump of the hull was obviously bigger, although the waves on the lake were not big, but he was still a little unsteady. This thing can't be adapted to in a short period of time, and it needs to be trained a lot. However, there are also advantages to being unstable. You can take advantage of the opportunity, and it will be a big bargain to pounce on Eliza. She can't be angry yet. By the way, kiss her, it's not too abrupt, anyway, the current state of the two people is already very ambiguous, Elisa's attitude is not very resolute, if it weren't for Vanessa, she probably wouldn't be so entangled.

"Go and look at the route, this is the lake, there are many boats, it's dangerous......" Eliza bit her lip coldly by Hong Tao. Although he was not very active, he didn't struggle, just stopped him from continuing to kiss, but liberated himself with attention to safety.

In fact, there were no boats on the lake at all, and Hong Tao didn't insist, his current interest was still on this boat, and he didn't plan to force Eliza to do anything. She's a single mother, so she has to think about more things, and there's another nasty Roman who has to scruple about. Hong Tao really hasn't ignored his capital at the moment, so let's take my time.

Driving a sailboat is the same as driving, there are traffic rules, and it's not complicated. Just look at the water as a road. As long as the principles of starboard wind over port side have priority, downwind sailboats have priority over upwind sailboats, slow ships have priority over fast ships, sailboats have priority over motorized ships, and merchant ships have priority, there will be basically no accidents.

"Did you say you lost? At the current rate, we should be able to get to Rochester in 10 hours, right?" Hong Tao stood behind the steering wheel, feeling that he was already very close to Hong Taolun.

"You should have lost. It cannot be calculated based on the maximum speed. The wind will change, the wind direction will change, can you guarantee that you will not encounter headwinds?" Eliza, the coach, is a worry-free coach. It's just a matter of lying there and moving your mouth.

"yes...... You have to set aside some wealth, look at my ......" Hong Tao felt that the situation that Eliza said was very likely to happen. He had to increase his speed, preferably to 10 knots, to be safe.

However, the two mainsails and one jib sail have already been used, and the speed can only reach a little more than 8 knots, so how can the speed be greatly increased? Hong Tao looked up at the state of the sails, judged the direction of the wind, and began to shake the red winch again. He wants to release the sail as well, although it is not a positive downwind now, but the angle is not too large, and it is eligible to use a downwind sail.

What the agent gave Hong Tao was a big orange sail, and when it slowly opened, Hong Tao knew what it meant to be big! This guy was larger than the whole boat, and after being blown by the wind, the entire bow of the ship was pressed down by it about half a meter. Although the speed of the ship really increased to 11 knots, the formation was very scary, and every time the bow of the ship hit the water, it would make a loud bang, and then it would bounce high and slam back again, and the whole ship would not glide on the water, but like it would jump on the water.

"Eliza, this ship won't break, will it?" Hong Tao heard the squeak, creak of the cable and the mast, and the cracks in his bones were sour, now he was really a little scared, and the ship had really become a crazy mouse, running around and running, and he didn't see a sailboat raise its sails along the way, did he play bigger?

"Little one...... It's just an inner lake, if you go to the sea, you'll pee your pants!" Eliza didn't comfort Hong Tao, but also laughed at his guts.

"Damn, buddy will wear dark pants in the future, and you won't be able to see it if you pee!" Hong Tao saw that Eliza was still lying on the sofa, and knew that the ship must be fine, since the ship was fine, then be afraid of a hair, let the storm come more violently!

Sailing a sailboat is actually an individual job, and in addition to adjusting these windswept sails, standing on a sloped, bumpy deck is a strenuous task in itself. At this time, the muscles of your whole body are tense, and you feel the rhythm of the hull all the time, and then sway and bump with it, up and down, left and right. It's a bit like riding a horse, even though the horse is running, the rider still needs to expend the body, especially with a mallet like Hong Tao.

But in order to win Eliza, Hong Tao gritted his teeth even if he was tired. As time went on, he slowly found a trick to stop standing with his legs bent like a little toad, and he could still stand with his chest up and his head up, but he still had to hold on to the steering wheel, and he couldn't do it if he wanted to walk around at will without holding it like Eliza.

At about one o'clock in the afternoon, the sailboat entered American waters, and Hong Tao also saw a sailor patrol boat with an American flag. However, the ship did not speed up at all, and very meekly let Hong Tao drive the sailboat to overtake them, and there was no reaction. When Hong Tao waves to the American police officers in orange life jackets on the patrol boat, they will also take off their hats and wave at you.

Here's a caveat, when you're sailing on a boat, you only need to wave one arm to greet each other, not both. It's a standard distress gesture, and the other person will think you're in danger, or that there's something wrong with the boat, or that someone on board you're sick, or that you've been hijacked or something. If you get a lot of marine police or coast guard patrol boats or helicopters because of this action, then you are in big trouble. If you are really in trouble, it is to help you for free, if you are lying or misreporting, you have to pay the gas money, salary, and fines first, and dare to say that you will be detained with a person and a boat.

"Well, if you win, you've been driving for five hours, and we'll be there on time at this rate. Now I'm going to make some lunch, and I'll be there for you when I get back, what a competitive little fellow. Elisa, who had been lying asleep, finally had enough rest, and got up and went into the cabin to prepare lunch.

"I'm going to eat double the beef patty! And beer!" Hong Tao was really hungry, for the sake of face, he endured it for more than an hour, and now when he heard that he finally won, he immediately relaxed.

What does it mean to be happy and sad? What is a sudden change in the wind and clouds? Hong Tao immediately understood!

Eliza had only entered the cabin ten minutes before Hong Tao suddenly felt a little cool and a kind of humidity in the wind blowing in front of him, like the wind before the rain. Just as he was wondering whether to put the sail away, a strong wind suddenly blew sideways, and the pale yellow mouse, which was still scurrying wildly on the water just now, seemed to hit the wall headlong, and the whole sail was scraped directly into the water at the bow of the boat, and then plunged into it with the hull.

Hong Tao only felt like he stepped on a sudden brake at a speed of 150 kilometers per hour, and his whole body flew up, and he was immediately pulled back by the safety cable, and then he couldn't tell the difference between up and down, left and right, and a few seconds later he had fallen into the cool water, and his head was still black, as if he was covered with a lid.

"Damn! this time it's really called a sailboat, it flipped directly!" Hong Tao instantly judged his situation, he was not afraid of the water, fumbled to untie his safety rope belt, and then kicked his legs, and soon broke off the cover, letting his head out of the water.

"Where's Eliza? she's still in the cabin!" The capsizing came so suddenly, even if she was a world sailing champion, she probably didn't have time to react. And she didn't tie the safety line, with the whole boat coming to a 180 degree, not to mention the problem of water, it is not very comfortable to hit anywhere, right?

Hong Tao didn't have time to think about the other details, and a fierce man pierced it again, but fortunately, the water of Lake Ontario was still quite clear, and he quickly touched the hatch, and then got into it. It wasn't too dark in the cabin, but Hong Tao turned on the small flashlight on his life jacket, and then he saw Eliza's legs honestly floating in the water.

Whether it was dizzy or what's wrong, Hong Tao didn't have time to analyze it in detail. He grabbed Eliza's feet and neck and pulled her hard, then held her waist so that her head was above the water, and then he saw that Eliza's hair was bleeding.

"Wake up......! Wake up! Pop ......" Hong Tao patted Elisa's face hard, but she still didn't move. (To be continued......) R1292
