Chapter 933: Ready to go

But this matter has to be agreed by Nicole's adoptive father, otherwise even if he is the uncle of the President of the United States, Hong Tao will not dare to take his daughter to run around the world. To put it mildly, Nicole secretly got on the boat by herself, and she has no responsibility with Hong Tao, but it is a big problem to help her hide it after knowing it, and she is even legally responsible.

Compared to Mr. and Mrs. Richard, this Mr. Rich was even more of a thing, he didn't even answer the phone himself, but just asked his agent to take care of the matter for him, because he was in rehearsal. Since he didn't take this matter seriously, there was no need for Hong Tao to talk nonsense with that agent, he directly called Casey and asked her to talk to this agent. By the way, I also remind her that your little daughter has caused me trouble again, you mother, go and wipe her ass!

"Lada, let's recalculate the route, try to streamline the ports of call, and eliminate all but the ports that must be called. I feel like I'm going to have to speed up, and I'm going to walk slowly like this, and before I'm done with Europe, my son should be in middle school. Throwing Nicole to Casey, Hong Tao went to the bridge on the first floor to find Lada, and the two of them lay on the chart table and began to rearrange the route according to Hong Tao's wishes.

If he had walked well, why did Hong Tao have to toss around blindly? There was only one answer, his freshness to the sailboat was almost over, and if it weren't for the fact that the cowhide was blown too big at the beginning, he might have thrown the ship to a port now, got on the plane and went home. Why is the freshness coming to an end? It's hard to say, even Hong Tao himself can't say clearly. Sometimes it's just a matter of a moment. I didn't feel this way before I went to bed last night, and when I woke up in the morning, I suddenly felt bored. It's as simple as that. It has nothing to do with Paris, Nicole, or this new sailboat. It has nothing to do with anything, it's completely Hong Tao's own problem. According to his habit, when he basically learns and masters something, that is the day he loses interest.

Since he gradually lost interest in sailing, he didn't want to wander slowly, in order to make himself a little more interesting, Hong Tao decided to challenge www.biquge.info the speed and range, and also do a race like the Volvo Ocean Race.

"I don't go to Iceland anymore, the first stop is Le Havre, France. The people from Beneteau will be there to debug our ship to determine if it is in normal condition. Then we go straight to Cape Town, almost 15,000 kilometers, you calculate whether we have enough supplies, and it's better to stop along the way. Hong Tao's mind began to jump again, and he jumped to the Cape of Good Hope in the first jump.

“…… The supply should be enough, our food reserves can eat for about 45 days, but the fresh water needs to be controlled a little. That...... What about Paris?" the Rada no longer had the luxury of predicting Hong Tao's thoughts, and who could guess God's intentions. She just wants to catch up, let her do whatever she wants, but she still can't throw away some vulgar thoughts.

"Paris ?......" Hong Tao's mind didn't react for a while, and he deliberately went to look at the chart. Let's make sure if Paris can stop.

"Oh, sorry, I almost forgot...... Paris can be done, the commissioning of the ship is not done in a while. We can go to Paris for two days at most!" stared at the place in Paris on the chart for a few seconds. Hong Tao understood what Rada was going to say, they wanted to go shopping in Paris. This matter has been demanded since South America, and they have forgotten it, but they have not forgotten it.

"Ulla! Our Lady bless you!" From the cheers of Rada, Carol and Lily, it is clear that if Hong Tao does not agree to this request, the crew will not rebel. And that's not counting the three little girls who were resting in the cabin below, and it is estimated that their reactions should be the same as those of Rada, if not more intense.

If you want to go shopping in Paris, you have to sail to the French coast.

Crossing the Atlantic Ocean is not much easier than crossing the Drake Passage, especially the northern part of the North Atlantic, which is above 40 degrees north latitude, which happens to be the westerly wind belt of the Northern Hemisphere. Although they are all westerly winds, the northern hemisphere has many continents blocking them, so the airflow in the westerly wind belt is more complex, just like the instantaneous strong airflow in a city with many high-rise buildings, these continents are high-rises, and they disturb the normal operation of the ring airflow.

In addition, it is also the confluence of the warm current of the Gulf of Mexico and the cold current of the polar region from the south, and the collision of hot and cold currents under the sea surface also causes strong convection, so when sailing in the North Atlantic, it is often encountered alternating between sailing on top waves and sailing along the waves. That is to say, the direction of the wind has not changed, but the current below has changed, and sometimes you will find that the west wind is blowing on the sea, but the waves are actually surging from east to west, if the ship is sailing west, it is against the wind, if it is sailing east, it is with the wind and waves. For sailing captains who do not have a lot of sailing experience, it is easy to be caught off guard by these sea conditions and lead to tragedy.

The route that Hong Tao was going to take happened to be in the westerly wind belt, and from the moment he left the port of St. John's, he had to meet the first test, the iceberg! That's right, it was the iceberg, the kind of iceberg that wiped out the Titanic with a slight rub back then! And the Titanic back then took the same route that the Crazy Mouse was currently taking, connecting the east coast of the United States and the west coast of Europe.

It's still far from the North Pole, and the temperature isn't low enough to freeze the sea, so where does the iceberg come from? The answer is: it floated from the Arctic Ocean.

In the northeastern part of Canada, there is a large island that extends deep into the Arctic. Between the island and Greenland, there is a wide waterway, along which a cold current moves south from the North Pole, called the Labrador Snap. The cold current will run south along the east coast of the Labrador Peninsula, carrying with it the icy waters of the Arctic Ocean and washing away some scattered Xiaoice mountains. Of course, there must be good and bad sides to everything, and it is precisely because of this cold current that the southward movement and the warm current of the Gulf of Mexico in the waters near Newfoundland meet the north, which has also created the world-famous Newfoundland fishing grounds, and Hong Tao's favorite North American shrimp is the best produced here.

"Come on, everyone raise their glasses and congratulate Nicole on becoming a midshipman on the Mad Mouse!" At this time, in the dining room of the Mad Mouse, the six crew members were sitting around the dining table, staring at the large pile of red lobsters on the table, drooling while listening to Hong Tao's nonsense with wine glasses.

It's been 10 days since the departure from New York Harbor, and everyone eats a simple nautical meal every day on the ship, either black bean rice or fried noodles, but enough fruit. Now finally docked at the port, but I can't find any good restaurants, here is just a small fish port, the seafood is very rich, there are no qualified cooks, helpless, everyone can only do it themselves.

"Captain, Nikki is only 13 years old, can I drink?" Paris is becoming more and more like a high school student, and he is no longer so arrogant in his speech, and he understands a little bit about good and bad.

"Today is an exception because we are about to cross the Atlantic, and the next stop is France. If the three of you still want to see the Eiffel Tower, and don't want to stay forever in this icy sea and become food for fish, then put your ears up and hear every word I say! My request is simple, only one sentence, can anyone say it for me?" Hong Tao continued his speech, ignoring everyone's salivating expressions.

"I can! Mr. Captain!" Nikki also made great progress, and even knew how to raise her hand to answer the question.

"Okay, you say!" Hong Tao was very pleased.

"Every word and every word the captain says is right, and it will be executed immediately!" Nikki replied loudly as she got permission and immediately stood up from the table.

"Hey, hey, hey...... That's right, now I'll order, start destroying these red monsters on the table, and eat them all! In the next ten days, we may not be able to eat this delicacy again. Hong Tao patted Nikki's little head appreciatively, and then pointed to the lobster on the table.

In an instant, the restaurant was like a rat plague, the sound of various teeth and hard objects rubbing one after another, 7 people were all suffocating their heads and fighting with the lobster in their hands, what etiquette, posture, tools were all gone, except for a few lobster tongs, all of them were grabbing, gnawing directly, licking the back of the hand strap and snorting fingers, eating with a mouth full of oil. If Mrs. Casey saw that her daughter, whom she had worked so hard to educate, she was eating, and at the same time putting one foot on the chair, and her mouth open in front of the whole table, the crumbs of lobster shells between her teeth, would have fainted immediately.

When the table of lobsters has been swept away, the table slowly retracts into the floor, and at the same time the rhythmic music plays in the cabin, and the masquerade begins! Everyone can dress up in any way, drink beer and wine, and twist their bodies to the music, and dance as much as they want, and jump on the couch, as long as you don't wear shoes.

If you want to do this kind of activity, you have to watch the performances of the Paris sisters and Nicole, they are ancestral and professional party maniacs, from rumba and tango to black dances that can't be on the stage, they can dance in style. And they are more party spirit, as long as the music is together, as soon as the beer can is taken, even their father will not recognize it immediately, how to toss and come, how to come, very entertaining, as if they are equipped with nuclear power, never tired. Nicole also has a good voice, although she is small, she has a big voice, is it possible that even her adopted daughter is influenced by her adoptive father......?
