Chapter 204: Nemo
Another day passed between eating and drinking, and in the afternoon, Liu Danqing received a call from the mature woman's sister, telling him that the ship was ready, and that the inspection would be completed tomorrow morning, and that he would be able to prepare the supplies, and that they would be able to go to sea at about nine o'clock.
At the same time, she also sent the ship's berth and the captain's contact information to Liu Danqing in the form of text messages.
At this time, Liu Danqing remembered that the two newcomers had not yet applied for a fishing license, but they were going to broadcast live, if the two did not apply for a fishing license, it would be okay to touch the fishing rod a few times, and if they dared to pull up a fish, they would be punished by the relevant departments of the United States.
To apply for a fishing license, they naturally looked for an enthusiastic Comrade Mike, and at the same time, they purchased two sets of sea fishing iron rods from Comrade Mike, and Comrade Xiao Weiwei is now addicted to playing this game, shouting to show his hands to the new comrades to see and learn.
The next morning, they had breakfast at the hotel, then left their room and rented a car to go to Gloucester.
Boston is a little over an hour's drive from Gloucester, but most of the road runs through parks, so a few people don't find the journey boring at all.
Gloucester is a small city located on the inner side of a natural bay, blessed with a natural environment that has created a thriving fishing industry.
Especially the special fishermen here have been using the method of fishing, catching expensive tuna and sending it to the Tsukiji market all over the world, especially in Fuso Province.
Arriving at Gloucester, it was just after eight o'clock, and the car took them directly to Gloucester Pier, and after a few days of getting out of the car, they walked to the berth that the mature woman's sister said, only to see a white yacht parked there, with the waves rising and falling slightly, and a clownfish painted on the side of the bow, and the Nemo was also written.
Also a luxury fishing boat, this Nemo looks much larger than the one they took in Miami, but the length is good, only two or three meters long, and the width is different.
The one is more of a yacht and therefore narrower, while this one is more of a fishing boat, so it is several meters wider.
If you want to give an example, it is the difference between Yi Dalian and Yao Daming.
(Liu Danqing: Author, can you have a little sincerity in your name, don't make a big word in the middle at every turn, it's very LO.)
Guanghua 10: Okay, Liu Daqing. )
At this time, the captain was on the back deck of the ship, negotiating something with several people, and when he turned around and saw a few people, he waved to them.
"Is it Qin? I'm Captain Tony, you guys come up directly, I'm checking the purchased items, and I'll be fine right away." ”
Another one calls Qing Qin, but please forgive their tongue and long-term pronunciation habits, which make it difficult for them to call "qing".
"Hello, Tony. Liu Danqing also waved at him, and led the three of them to the boat along the gangplank.
The rear deck of this ship is large, taking up more than half of the upper deck of the ship, which is one of the differences from the Miami boat.
This large aft deck is a tuna fishing table, and after catching tuna, the fish are caught on the deck by the ship's hoist, then the tail is cut off and bled before sliding into the cabin through a sloping slipway on the deck.
The captain spoke a few more words to the men, then signed a stack of slips, sent them off the ship, and came over and said, "Come with me, and I will take you to the cabin for a while." ”
While leading the way, Captain Tony introduced the Hanghua fishing boat.
"The Nemo was launched the year before, and everything on board is new. Twenty-two meters long and eight meters wide, it is a tuna fishing boat that takes comfort to the limit. ”
"Nemo can hold up to seven rods at the tail, and yesterday afternoon the company sent three sets of rods, and I took a look, all of them are good goods that can catch 1,500 pounds of marlin, but is it too little?"
Liu Danqing listened to Tony's words and replied with a smile: "It doesn't matter, we are mainly here to relax, and besides, we are fishing bluefin tuna and marlin for the first time, so it is easier to put some fishing rods less." ”
Xiao Weiwei saw that Tony's face seemed to have a look of contempt, and quickly added: "The day before yesterday, we just caught a set of 360 pounds of grouper in Miami. ”
At this time, Tony obviously regarded several people as rich children who rented fishing boats to experience life, but as a captain in the service industry, he still hid his contempt in his heart, pulled the corners of his mouth, pulled out a smile, and said: "Then congratulations, but fishing for black tuna is not the same as big marin and grouper, more than three hundred pounds, and it has just met the requirements of the Ministry of Fisheries." ”
The United States has a length requirement for tuna caught during the tuna fishing season, and after several adjustments, it must now exceed 5 feet 5, that is, about 1.8 meters, before it can be sold.
Without saying anything more, Tony opened a sailor's cabin, changed the subject, and introduced.
"In addition to my room, there are two sailor's cabins on the Nemo, although they are sailors' cabins, but the space and facilities are very good, this is it, please come in, you settle down first. ”
"Qin, I'll wait for you on the back deck and check the supplies. ”
There are a total of three passenger ships on board, the most luxurious is the captain's cabin, but even if they are guests, the captain will not give up that cabin, it is his natural right to live there, even if the president of the United States gets on the ship, he can't change it.
Taking care of the arrivals is a strange man and a woman, Liu Danqing and Xiao Weiwei also had to be temporarily separated, one for two men and one for two women, and the remaining two sailor cabins were divided.
Putting the luggage into the cabinet, Liu Danqing went directly to the back deck, Tony was holding a board clip and was already waiting for him on the back deck.
"Qin, this is the list of supplies, you can take a look, if you need it, you can buy some more, there is a seafood market and a marine supply store next to the dock. ”
Liu Danqing took the list and looked at it, which contained daily necessities such as oil, water, vegetables, and fruits.
The big head is oil, and as an oil tiger, this luxury fishing boat has a 2,500-gallon fuel tank, which needs to be added with about 5,000 meters of fuel at a time.
This is still the cheap price of oil in the United States, one gallon is equivalent to 3.8 liters, and now the price of diesel in the United States has been falling, and the price is about two meters per gallon, which means that 3 yuan of Chinese dollars a liter, which is half cheaper than that of Huaguo.
But when the company invested by Liu Danqing makes a new combustible ice engine, oil prices will plummet again.
Of course, this fuel fee will be settled according to the actual amount of fuel used in the end, and it is more likely that this tank of diesel fuel is simply not enough for them to burn.
Liu Danqing looked at the list, and then asked, "Tony, is there a crab pot on the boat?"
Tony shook his head and replied seriously: "No, if you need to, you can go to the shipping goods store over there to buy it, a single crab pot is not worth much, but we can't use large crab pots, and our winches don't have corresponding poles." ”
"I'm just going to get a few crab pots and see if I can catch a few lobsters and crabs to eat by myself, no big ones are needed, just small ones. ”
Liu Danqing looked at the fuel gauge and supplies, then signed a note on the list, returned it to Tony, and shouted into the cabin: "I'm going to the marine supply store, is there a one?"
Hulala, all three of them rushed out and went to the store together.
