Chapter 175: Famous
The farther north you go, the colder it gets, and although the sea temperature is a little warmer than on land, Beihai still feels the chill more and more.
Now the bow of the network number is facing the island of Newfoundland, and Bei Hai has already prepared before departure, after all, it is close to the end of December, and it should be cold no matter how God says.
When he arrived on the deck, Bei Hai came out fully armed, and when he arrived in the warehouse, he would take off his heavy coat and enjoy the heating on the ship.
However, the heating on the network number is not very easy to use, and the temperature in the cab is a little unstable, which may be a problem with the power of the engine, and the engine is a little soft when heating.
At one o'clock in the evening, the network anchored and Beihai came to a halt near Halifax, Nova Scotia.
After a busy job, Bei Hai started to eat, and I don't know if this meal is considered dinner or supper, for Bei Hai now, there is no such thing as three meals a day when he is hungry.
"Tomorrow you will work harder, look for more, don't miss the nearby killer whales"
Bei Hai picked up a fork and forked a piece of fried fish from the plate in front of him, put it in his mouth, and chewed while guΓ² his own brain, the leather ball on the deck, and the fritters in the seawater, the three companions of the earth dog, announced the mission for tomorrow morning.
As for tonight, everyone is naturally resting, this is not the fishing season, Bei Hai thinks it is better to relax, and this trip is mainly to find killer whales to verify their conjectures, as for finding big fish and catching big fish, it can only be incidental.
Bei Hai is a bit half-hearted as the host.
Only the earth dog is quite serious and ready to accept the task, and the two goods of fritters and leather balls are a little absent-minded.
Bei Hai was still thinking about saying something, and after hearing a sentence about your sister, his interest immediately decreased.
Stretched out his hand and waved at the little sister: "Peaches have never blocked your mouth!" β
γ
Although Bei Hai said that it was to make this thing hungry.
Obviously, it has not been thoroughly implemented, and from the time it went to sea, the parrot has two peaches in its belly.
Because Bei Hai really can't stand it, when this thing is hungry, he will keep saying the only thing it knows.
Bei Hai's shouting did not make the little sister close her mouth, perhaps it was Bei Hai's driving action that caused the little thing to be dissatisfied, and her mouth began to scream again.
Bei Hai was annoyed, and he directly raised his hand and sent the goods into the space, and the ears that fell were quiet.
Just as Bei Hai took a long breath and spit out a sentence: "The whole world is quiet"
γ
Less than two minutes after saying this, a crisp air whistle was heard, and it was very close.
Turning his head, Bei Hai saw a boat approaching his side, although it was night, Bei Hai still clearly found that this was a fishing boat, and the maple leaf flag hung on it indicated that it was a Canadian fishing boat.
Bei Hai thought that he was looking for something to do, so he couldn't help but put down the fork in his hand, put on his coat, and stood on the deck, waiting for someone's ship to come over.
It's not fishing season, and Bei Hai didn't get together with a bunch of tunamen.
When you go to the sea, especially if you are so far away from your home port, you should have a little sea awareness.
"Hey! Buddy? Is there anything you can help with? I haven't seen you before, is this the first time I've been to this sea? Where are you in your home port? β
γ
Watch as the fishing boat approaches.
Bei Hai hadn't spoken yet, but there was a series of greeting voices from the boat opposite, the speed of speech was as fast as a machine gun, if the person who didn't speak was loud enough, Bei Hai really couldn't understand what he said.
"What?"
Bei Hai didn't believe his ears a little.
How do you ask yourself if you can help?
Besides, I don't want to call the Canadian Coast Guard, and it's just over an hour's sea distance from the port, so it doesn't seem that far away.
"I ask you if you're in trouble, if there's anything you can help with! I wonder if you lost power when you parked the boat here? Do you want me to drag you along? β
The bearded captain of the opposite boat continued to shout to Bei Hai's side.
At this time, Bei Hai understood that it was a misunderstanding, thinking that something was wrong with his ship, and when he turned his head and thought about it, Bei Hai understood, it turned out that it was a bit inappropriate for his ship to appear in the place, and it was such a cold day at this time.
Except for professional fishermen, there are very few people who go out to sea to fish.
The fact that his lonely boat came out is indeed a little misunderstood.
Bei Hai thought of this and smiled at the people and waved his hand: "It's okay." I'm preparing to sail to St. John's, Newfoundland, and I'm dropping anchor here tonight! The engine or something is normal, thank you for your concern! β
γ
"Such a small fishing boat going to Newfoundland?"
The captain looked at the net number a few times and then opened his mouth and said, "Man, you are really good, the wind and waves there are not enough for a boat like you to see!" I advise you to turn around and go back to Hong Kong."
γ
The bearded captain was also quite strange in his heart, and to be honest, if there was a Canadian flag on the ship, the captain would not be interested in asking.
But the American flag was more important than such a small ship, and the captain's first reaction was that something had happened to the ship.
If it weren't for such a small ordinary coastal fishing boat, how could it have come so far?
Bei Hai was defeated by the enthusiastic captain, put his hands to his mouth, and yelled at the fishing boat over there: "It's okay, I'm just going to go in that direction." How are you? The catch looks good, huh? β
γ
If you come back empty, it is estimated that the most you will do is to come over and ask what is the matter, and as soon as you say that you are fine, you will immediately turn around and return to Hong Kong, and you will be in the mood to entangle yourself with a few words.
"It's not bad, this time I harvested more than 7,000 pounds, a week's time!"
As soon as the bearded captain heard Bei Hai's question, he immediately came to be interested and poured out the source of his happiness to Bei Hai.
Bei Hai gave him a thumbs up, it was not for nothing in Gloucester for so many days, and as soon as he saw this boat, Bei Hai knew that it was a longline.
More than 6,000 pounds of fish is good for a longline vessel.
Their catch was worth about three to four dollars a pound, and of course, if it was all good fish, such as bigeye tuna, yellowfin tuna, etc., according to normal estimates, the income of four people on this boat would be about $25,000.
The captain on the opposite side obviously didn't know Bei Hai.
Of course, they are Canadians, and there is almost no intersection between the sea areas where the two live, so it is naturally impossible to know each other.
It was precisely because he didn't know Bei Hai and the captain was in a good mood that he naturally showed off his catch to Bei Hai a little proudly.
"Man, we had really good luck this trip, two bigeye tuna, one big and one small, and the other catches were quite fat......"
The bearded captain frothed at the mouth for almost three minutes, and then said to Bei Hai: "Hand over a rope, we caught a few big squid." Taste it in a little bit! You can't catch this kind of big squid in the waters of the United States, listen to me."
γ
After speaking, without waiting for Bei Hai to react, he directly turned his head and said something to a crew member next to him.
It was the first time that Bei Hai had encountered such a verbose captain.
This enthusiasm is a bit excessive!
Bei Hai was a little stupid and was so stunned on the deck of the net, and he didn't even think to stop people from sending him squid.
"Hey, pay attention to take out your hook rod, I'm going to shoot a speargun"
The bearded captain held a long spear gun in his hand and yelled loudly at Bei Hai.
Listening to the roar of the beard, Bei Hai remembered.
Seeing that everyone was ready, he no longer refused, reached out and took the hook lever next to the cockpit in his hand, and after waiting for a click over there, Bei Hai stretched out the hook rod and hooked the rope with the speargun.
People got some squid for themselves, and whatever they say, they have to express it, fish or something is usual, Bei Hai simply took a dozen peaches, put them in a bucket, and sent them back to the past.
"I didn't expect you to have this on your ship!"
The bearded captain waited for the bucket to arrive, and as soon as he reached out in front of him, he reached out and took a peach, wiped the peach hair directly with the clothes on his lap, took a bite, and said loudly to Bei Hai.
People look at their peaches well, and Bei Hai looks at people's squid is also good, this squid is really more than twice as big as that near Gloucester, and the color is completely called a milky white, which looks quite good.
"Where is this squid?"
Bei Hai opened his mouth and asked.
"Your boat won't arrive. To get to the vicinity of Greenland, change to a big boat if you want to go"
The bearded captain said loudly to Bei Hai while biting the peach.
After eating a peach, the bearded captain seemed to feel that he was enthusiastic, and looked up at Bei Hai and said, "My name is Marco!" My ship stopped at St. John of New Brunswick. If you have a chance, you can find me to play! β
γ
"Hull? Bey, I usually work in the waters near Gloucester."
Bei Hai also gave his name to the enthusiastic captain.
After everyone said this casually, the two ships returned to their home port with one stop and one at the other.
The bearded captain drove for almost half an hour, and followed his crew to chat happily about a bold 'American boat' he had encountered.
"Hull? Bey, why does the name Gloucester sound so familiar to me?"
An old crew member on the ship always felt that he had heard the name somewhere, but he couldn't remember it for a while.
"You've heard about Mike, the director of Transformers? Shell bar"
The bearded captain glanced at his old crew and said.
"I remembered. We met the same GlΓΌrcher Tuna Fisherman of Gloucester! The one that earned more than a million dollars in the first fishing season! β
A crew member in his twenties next to the old man immediately remembered who he had just met.
The young crew now regards Bei Hai as an idol, and in their hearts they are very eager to follow their idols to the sea.
On the one hand, I heard that the salary is high, and on the other hand, of course, I want to learn something.
The thought of Behai going to St. John's in Newfoundland made the young man's mind stir.
"Are you sure? Lauren! Who did we just meet? β
The bearded captain was a little unconvinced, and then picked up the phone and dialed the phone of a captain of Gloucester he knew, and told him what Bei Hai looked like.
After listening to the bearded man's description, he gave an answer: There are not many captains with Asian faces in this area, named Hull?
Bei's is the only one person.
Putting down the phone, Da Hu thought about the blow he had just made to others, and couldn't help blushing a little, in order to hide his embarrassment, he couldn't help but raise his voice and muttered: "More than one million in a fishing season, I'm not at home at this time and hugging the chick, what are you doing here?!" β
γ
Bei Hai still has no intuition about his reputation, and he has no idea that the fishermen in Canada have heard of his reputation now.
While the bearded captain was discussing himself, the million-dollar fisherman Bei Hai was now eating the squid that had just been sent by others, and he praised the taste of this squid.
Bei Hai, who was enjoying the delicious food, didn't know that he had been targeted by a young man as an idol.
