Chapter 193: Target at Sea: Duniu Island
May 21.
Cloudy.
The outside temperature is 27°C.
The wind direction is southeast to southwest.
This kind of weather is very suitable for going to sea.
But as the old saying goes: there are unforeseen circumstances!
Before going out, how can you not look at the weather first, the forecast says that there will be a heavy rain in the afternoon, so the open-top sampan and sailboat in this weather will definitely not be able to go to sea, for yachts, in fact, the yacht association is also recommended to travel cautiously.
When Zhao Yili and the three of them arrived at the Royal Yacht Club in Saigon, Guan Linlin had already been waiting in the VIP lounge area for a while with several handsome guys and hot girls with slender figures and fashionable clothes.
Seeing Zhao Yili coming, Guan Linlin immediately greeted the beauties with them.
After introducing these handsome guys and beauties to Zhao Yili one by one, Zhao Yili and the three of them were ceremoniously introduced to everyone, Zhao Yili was the tallest among the people, and when one person came with two graceful and youthful girls, he still had a leisurely demeanor, which surprised Guan Linlin's friends.
And that's not all.
Finally, Guan Linlin pointed to Zhao Yili and solemnly introduced to everyone:
"Brothers and sisters, listen up, this one in front of you is not my ordinary friend, but the boss of my current company, you know the big things in the circle that have happened in the past two days, and at least two of the three major events are related to this handsome guy in front of you."
After a few uncontrollable exclamations and screams, there were surprised glances. They all fixed on Zhao Yili's face, but this guy shrugged his shoulders very calmly and did not admit it. Of course, there is no denial.
Fang Liwen was a little lost in front of the fashionable outfits in front of these beauties, and after hearing these screams, she casually asked: "What's wrong, what happened in the past two days?" ”
After everyone heard her words, they all dared not believe their ears, everyone in the entertainment industry is naturally familiar. It's easy to get by.
Seeing the surprised expressions of Si Shuangshuang and Fang Liwen beside Zhao Yili, a fast-talking girl said like a cannon:
"Don't you read the magazines on the street?"
"We really don't think much of this." Fang Liwen replied a little embarrassed.
"Forget it, you probably didn't pay much attention. I don't blame you, because the news has just been spreading.
Everyone is spreading the news that the last three days of the week can be regarded as catching up with the excitement of last year. Even more so. In the past few days, several major events in the entertainment industry have occurred:
That is:
1. Uncle Zhang, who is known as the "godfather" of the Hong Kong concert, hyped up the new concept of "Four Heavenly Kings", and has amazed the Quartet in a very short period of time.
2. The second is Hong Kong's veteran film and television company Xinyicheng, which was suddenly revealed by a mysterious person today that it has changed hands, and the owner of the gold is a handsome guy who is said to be a British knight, so I want to see him personally. I just don't know the whereabouts of this mysterious handsome guy!
3. The third thing is also related to the first thing, that is, the Four Heavenly Kings will start singing in the Red Pavilion in three days. Tickets for this concert are basically sold out in all places, hey, it's a pity!
These people are all younger brothers and sisters who are very compatible on weekdays, and they have cross-cooperated in some MTV and film and television works, because the original plan was to go to sea in the near future, anyway, the space in the yacht is very large, so they made an appointment together, with Guan Linlin's understanding of Zhao Yili, he is a person who can be alone and is comfortable when there are many people, so he didn't tell him in advance.
However, his assistant had just returned from the yacht club management office, and there must have been a heavy rain in the afternoon, and Captain Levi, who was in charge of his yacht and had served him for several years, also resolutely recommended that the weather conditions allow before traveling.
In this way, Guan Linlin hesitated, not only wanting to set off as planned, but also worried, after all, the safety of this boat must be considered.
Therefore, after discussing with Zhao Yili, Guan Linlin decided to follow the advice of professionals and wait for the conditions to be suitable after the rain before going to sea.
Therefore, accompanied by Levi's, Guan Linlin took Zhao Yili, three people who came to the yacht club for the first time, to visit the entire Royal Hong Kong Yacht Club together.
Walking slowly through the yacht club's showroom of various honors and a spacious and staggering sample yacht showroom, which displays a miniature model of each of the epoch-making yacht project champions of the world's largest yacht club, Levi's introduced to the crowd:
When it comes to yachts, we have to introduce the development of yacht clubs:
As early as the 18th century in England, with the development of the industrial economy, the small dockyards that once provided ship berthing, repair, and supply for ship enthusiasts among the dignitaries and dignitaries gradually emerged, and gradually expanded, evolving into a gathering place for the upper class of society, forming the initial form of yacht clubs. In the fifties of the 20th century, with the general development of the world economy and the progress of yacht technology, yacht exhibitions were active during this period, and yacht clubs and marinas came into being. The increasing number of yacht owners has made yacht activities widely carried out, and yacht clubs have gradually become high-end leisure consumption projects in developed countries and regions in the world, and it is becoming a symbol of status and dignity like high-end sports cars and private jets. The yacht club in modern society has developed from the original small dock with a single function to a leisure place integrating catering, entertainment, accommodation, business, boat berthing, maintenance, replenishment, driving training and other functions. Nowadays, the yacht industry in Western countries has developed into a more complete manufacturing, sales, repair, service, finance, insurance and other comprehensive supporting industrial systems. Because of its unique leisure feeling and experience, it is loved by the majority of tourists and leisure travelers, and these historical background conditions have contributed to the Royal Hong Kong Yacht Club to become the oldest yachting club in Hong Kong and the largest yacht club in the world.
From indoor to outdoor, Levi was quite proud and professional as a temporary tour guide, and unfolded a novel picture in front of Zhao Yili and others.
Standing outside the glass wall outside the club's largest showroom, Levi paused slightly, drank a cup of coffee handed over by Zhao Yili, and continued:
The Royal Hong Kong Yacht Club is the oldest yacht club in Hong Kong and the largest yacht club in the world. The predecessor of the association was the "Victoria Regatta", which was founded in October 1849. The Club currently has about 10,200 members, of which 3,700 are active members (members who have settled in Hong Kong after retirement and can participate in activities at any time) and 6,500 absent members (absent members are members who have participated in the yacht club but have left Hong Kong but are allowed to participate in the club's activities when they return to Hong Kong for vacation or business).
As time went by, these friends brought by Guan Linlin have begun to find entertainment projects on their own to pass the time.
Around lunch, it was already dark, dark clouds were thick, and soon a heavy rain came, both in terms of rainfall and the intensity of precipitation, it was the heaviest rain since the beginning of summer.
But fortunately, this rain came and went quickly, that is, it took nearly 1 hour or so, the rain stopped and the clouds left, and the sun quickly dispelled the haze in the sky, and a group of 20 people packed up and stopped and got on the boat.
Guan Linlin's fully loaded can carry more than 50 tourists, named "Queen" luxury yacht, moored in the Royal Hong Kong Yacht Club's berth, according to the regulations of the yacht association, private yachts of more than 60 people, need to be equipped with a professional captain, if it is less than 60 passengers, can be driven by a person with a yacht license.
There are actually three types of driver's licenses for yachts.
The "Yacht Driving License" is uniformly produced by the maritime department and is valid for 10 years, and the driver's license is reviewed every two years. According to different water areas, the personal yacht driving license is divided into three types: river driver's license, river driver's license and offshore driver's license.
The veteran captain Levi's even obtained the sailing qualification for the ocean, not to mention the offshore sea.
With fresh water, food and some camping supplies arriving in the cabin, and after checking the diving and life-saving equipment, Levi and his six crew members were ready to set sail within twenty minutes.
Soon a whistle sounded, and this time the twists and turns of the operation to the sea finally eliminated the difficulties and dangers, and set off as desired.
The destination of this trip is the Duniu Island, which is very suitable for diving and sea fishing, the afternoon sun is beginning to burn, and the heat wave has begun to roll on the deck, so many individuals, especially the beauties who are afraid of high temperatures, have run to the cabin to blow the air conditioner, gradually, there are only Zhao Yili and Shuangshuang left on the stern deck, two sun hats with big brims, casually threw two sea rods, let go of both hands, pillow behind his head, Zhao Yili leaned on the recliner like this, Si Shuangshuang is a bird by his side, blowing the sea breeze, Let the fish eat the bait, don't care about it, just enjoy this rare vacation and dissipate all your worries.
About an hour later, the yacht docked in an inlet on Calf Island, where the water depth is already very suitable for diving, whether it is a beginner or a diving enthusiast, you can basically find a suitable area for yourself, so the holiday on Calf Island has finally officially begun.
