It's time to get ready, and it's definitely going to take a little more preparation for the next round of the world voyage, no doubt about it!

The sailing thing is very easy to do, and the thoughtful choice is a small monohull; A simple washroom, kitchenette and a small room are sufficient.

It's not that you can't afford to buy a bigger sailboat or something, but if you really want to be comfortable and enjoyable, you might as well drive a yacht. Speaking of those big ships, it is more troublesome to operate, and Zhou Quan does not have such excellent driving skills now.

I started to learn, and now I really need all kinds of learning; Although he has an unimaginably good water ability, that doesn't mean he doesn't need some learning.

Circumnavigating the world is an exciting and dangerous thing to do, and it requires some professionalism.

Zhou Quan didn't expect himself to be an adventurer or navigator, and he didn't feel how professional he was. It's just that there are some things that really need to be learned, or you will be completely irresponsible, and you will be causing trouble for yourself.

"BOSS, this is cool, really cool! I never thought you would have such courage and determination, and trust me, you can do it! ”

Adams, the kid, came over and watched Zhou Quan follow the instructor practicing the sailing skills, and he couldn't express his envy.

"Dude, do you want to say that you want to go with me. I know you're a great expert in water sports, you're an all-rounder, and maybe you know how to sail too. ”

teasing Adams, Zhou Quan naturally knows the mind of this guy Adams; I've known each other for several years, and I still know Adams' personality quite well.

"Yes, boss. I think so, it's your first circumnavigation of the world, so you'll need some helpers. Take me with you, we can take care of each other. I can help you, I can raise and lower the sails, I can paddle, I can be your boatswain. You should know that I was able to do that. I don't need a salary for this time, as long as you don't fire me when you come back. ”

Adams immediately said with a little excitement, even if he knew that there was little hope, but this guy still wanted to work hard. At the end of the day, what this guy wants is to try to get together; If you get on board, it's an unimaginable trip around the world, and it's beautiful.

"No, I don't have that in mind. I should sail alone, and I definitely won't take you with me. I am not capable of taking care of them, I can guarantee this, you can't bring me any help at all, I don't want to take you like this on my first voyage around the world, I can't protect myself. ”

Zhou Quan refused without thinking about it, he would definitely not bring Adams, and he would not bring anyone; The reason is very simple, Zhou Quan feels that it will really be unbearable to bring others.

Adams began to recommend himself again, saying that he could take care of himself and so on, he said that he could row, he could fish, and he was not very good at sailing, but he was not lame. Of course, it's also because this guy is full of self-confidence, and he also knows the knowledge of ocean currents, wind directions, etc., although it is only half-toned.

Zhou Quan felt that some things were just to be heard, and he couldn't be clearer about the abilities of this guy Adams; I really can't take this guy with me, although Adams has a good ability, but he doesn't have the confidence to take care of others.

Now it's better to keep studying, and there are really a lot of things to do to sail around the world.

This is not a walk-and-go trip, Zhou Quan has no money in his pocket, and he does have superb water nature, which seems to be able to enjoy some of the fun of circumnavigating the world very well, and can ensure that it is as smooth as possible and without accidents.

But there are still many things to consider, his sailboat is a completely unpowered sailboat; The so-called non-powered sailboat can be understood as a ship that uses only the wind to blow the canvas to move forward, such a boat does not have any power, but of course can have oars.

Piloting such a boat requires consideration of the pilot's maneuverability of the boat, and while it may not be particularly convenient, it is suitable for long voyages and can push some limits.

Zhou Quan felt that it was good for him to go alone, and he didn't need to bring others; If you bring Adams, it's really inconvenient, even if that guy's ability is really good, but maybe he really needs to take care of this guy.

In fact, there is a bit of a reason for this, Zhou Quan is a little too busy to take care of himself, although he believes that he will definitely not encounter any danger, but Zhou Quan is also a little worried. After all, this is a circumnavigation of the world, this is a voyage in the vast sea; At this time, Zhou Quan can only say that he takes care of himself, because he has a good ability.

But if you want to say anything about taking care of others, it is not very realistic; Although Adams is a good man, he has a very good ability to do water sports. It's just that this guy is still an ordinary person after all, no matter how strong he is, he can't be more powerful than Zhou Quan, and Adams is just a relatively powerful ordinary person.

"Dad, I want to row too, I'm good too!"

As soon as he got home, the fat son ran over; The big dragon children are also like joining in the fun, and the sailing boat is actually very fun.

"Of course you can go boating, I can give you a small kayak, you can go kayaking now. But in the case of sailboats, you can't control it now, you can only take the boat honestly. I can't even control the sailboat very well, let alone you stinky boy. ”

pinched his fat son's little face, and Zhou Quan felt that this kid was really greedy.

The playful little guy is too curious, and this kid wants to try everything; Therefore, it is better to honestly make the little guy obedient, and the driving of the sailboat is really not something that this stinky boy can try now.

The little guy clasped his hands on his chest and glared at him with a slanted gaze on his little fat face; Zhou Quan couldn't cry or laugh, the fat son is now more and more of a bear child's attributes, this kid is cute and powerful sometimes, but sometimes it's really hateful and scary!

"Girl, do you miss your father?"

The fat son doesn't need to worry about it now, let this stinky boy go and mess around; It's better to hug the cute baby daughter, the little girl is an intimate little padded jacket, which is much more worry-free than the little bastard Dalong.

"Yes!"

After answering with a milky voice, the little girl pouted and kissed her father's face several times. It's very gratifying, because the fat son won't show such affection, and after he is one or two years old, he gradually doesn't like others to kiss him, but the little girl won't, the little girl will be coquettish.

It's really good to take the children to make trouble; Although I learned to sail for a day, it was a bit boring. But back at home, it really makes people feel very warm; Especially considering that he is about to start sailing around the world, Zhou Quan naturally likes to stay with his children even more, because once he starts to sail around the world, he will really not be able to see his children for a while.

Even if Chen Xin will take the children to the dock for a short reunion at the time, it does not mean that the children will not be seen all the time during the round-the-world voyage; But it must be admitted that there will really be a long time when Zhou Quan will not be able to get along with the children more.

These things have been carefully considered, and circumnavigating the world is of course a very important thing, but I don't want to miss the growth of children; Generally speaking, if you really want to complete a complete circumnavigation of the world, it will definitely take more than a year, which is still a relatively hurried type.

If he really follows such a standard, Zhou Quan may feel that he may be a little unacceptable; The reason is very simple, if he just takes care of the circumnavigation of the world for more than a year, he will miss a lot of good things when the children grow up. Even if the time comes, the desire to travel all over the four oceans is satisfied, but the children will become unfamiliar with him, and it is not worth it.

So Zhou Quan has been thinking about one thing, thinking of some ways to get the best of both worlds; Maybe it's hard to find a way to really get the best of both worlds, but there are still ways to take care of each other, and maybe it's not that difficult.

The family's economic conditions are good, there is no shortage of money, and there is a private jet, so Chen Xin will take the children to a place where they call in Hong Kong.

It's not just a rush to see each other or something, because Zhou Quan plans to take the children around in the process to see some of the customs of other countries and other nationalities; This is actually quite good, and it may also be understood as a global trip for the whole family, but the process and method are slightly different.

There is no need to worry about the children being too tired, after all, this is a private jet trip, and this is not a budget trip or anything like that; If you have the money and are willing to spend it, traveling is really a fun thing.

"I think this is good, and it will take at least a year or two for you to travel around the world like this, and then our big dragon will be able to go to kindergarten to study. Take advantage of this time to take him a little crazy, and our whole family will go on a wonderful trip around the world. ”

Chen Xin agrees with Zhou Quan's opinion, maybe in the eyes of some adventurers and navigators, this kind of round-the-world voyage is too unobtrusive, but Zhou Quan really doesn't care what others think, he just feels happy. Not only did Zhou Quan like this idea very much, but Chen Xin also liked Zhou Quan's mention of yì.

"That's what I thought, it may not be very convenient to take you on the ship, maybe it will take ten days and half a month to see no land. I don't have to go to every place or every pier, I just pick some more distinctive places to dock. My round-the-world voyage is not a round-the-world voyage in the traditional sense. ”

Zhou Quan laughed, with a little pride and a little pride; What we play may not be so formal, but it's good to be happy, and doing what you like to do is a very happy thing in itself.

"That's great, and we're not saying that it's up to you to make a name for yourself or get sponsors or anything like that, it's for your own amusement. Have fun, we insist on circumnavigating the world; If you're bored, it's okay to give up halfway. There's no need to be so rigid, just be happy. ”

Chen Xin nodded in agreement, she didn't have so many requirements for this round-the-world voyage; It doesn't matter if it's irregular or not, or if you don't have a world record, and even in the eyes of some people, it's okay if it's just nonsense, because it's all about entertaining yourself, and having fun is the real meaning of this round-the-world trip.

"Actually, if I really want to go down, it's unlikely that I'll be able to completely travel all over the four oceans. The route of the round-the-world voyage cannot really reach every place, it can only be said to go around in a circle. ”

For this round-the-world voyage, Zhou Quan has a clear understanding; According to the route he prepared, there are really many places that have not been reached.

Heading west from Evil Jiao Island, this is across the Atlantic; This is also the route of Columbus's discovery of the New World, and this route is also the most difficult. On this side of the North Atlantic, there are no small islands or seaport cities, which have to sail to Portugal in Europe in one go.

After arriving in Europe, he did not expect to go north to England, nor did he take the Cape of Good Hope in Africa; The Plenum enters the Mediterranean Sea from the Strait of Gibraltar and enters the Red Sea via the Suez Canal.

It enters the Arabian Sea from the Gulf of Aden and crosses the Pauk Strait between Sri Lanka and India into the Bay of Bengal. Cross the Strait of Malacca into Southeast Asia and go a little north to incense. Harbor. Although generally speaking, sailing ships registered in the United States cannot dock in China's harbor cities, but they will not be accommodating, after all, this is only a folk activity, not to mention that he chooses incense. What about the port.

Even if it is a trip back to the homeland, since the voyage around the world cannot help but take a walk around China; Then it goes directly through the South China Sea, passing through Guam and Hawaii to the west coast of the Americas. Go south to Central America, and then see if you can take the Panama Canal and take a shortcut to the Gulf of Mexico or continue south to South America, maybe take the Strait of Magellan and then back.

In this way, in fact, the Northern European side has not been reached, the African side has also been completely reached, and even Oceania has not been touched, let alone the North and South poles; It doesn't seem like a trip across the four oceans in the true sense of the word, but no one can deny that it has circled the earth!

It's just a little different from the route chosen by the ancient navigators, and there are indeed some shortcuts along the way.

But so what, Zhou Quan doesn't care at all; He wasn't there to discover new continents, or to challenge the limits of humanity. It's just for your own amusement, and it's actually nice to just enjoy the process; So there's no need to play so big, so formal, and Zhou Quan doesn't care about that at all.

It seems that they are all slowly ready, they can sail, and their knowledge reserves are sufficient; In addition, the season and climate are good, and you can go! (To be continued.) )
