Chapter 182: Mao Sui recommended himself
I used to think that I would lose the troublemaker, but now the troublemaker and the family are all following him, and the space has changed dramatically, where is there any depressed mood in Bei Hai now! The corners of the two mouths of happiness reached the back of the head.
Originally, I was going to go back to Gloucester nearby, but now Bei Hai decided to continue this journey, on the one hand, it was the boat he said how long it would take, and now it was not enough to go back, and secondly, I was also thinking about getting some fish into the space along the way, to verify my idea, and whether the fish released later would have the same changes as before!
With this in mind, Bei Hai, who had left the space, directly lifted anchor and readjusted his direction towards St. John, the destination of Newfoundland.
When he anchored to the north again, Bei Hai directly sent all four of the earth dog fritters to the field, firstly, to test what new progress or ability these goods have, and secondly, he also wanted to get a little more fish into the space, whether it was mackerel, salmon and herring that can be seen everywhere, what swordfish, bigeye tuna, yellowfin tuna, etc., anyway, I want to get a little bit into the space to raise.
During the two-and-a-half-day trip, there were a lot of small fish along the way, but I didn't encounter a single big fish, and a little bit of a shot was a bigeye tuna, which was only less than a hundred pounds, which was really not a big fish.
In the evening, the net number docked at the fishing dock near the entrance to St. John's Harbour, where Beihai was ready to rest for the night, and tomorrow morning he would fill up with oil and fresh water, and then turn the bow back to Gloucester.
Bei Hai filled in the name of the ship on the port entry slip and still had time to stay, and then handed the form to the staff of St. John's Port.
"No problem!" The female staff member in her forties carefully looked at the list filled out by Bei Hai and said, "I wish you a smooth sailing!" ”。
"Thank you!" Bei Hai smiled at the staff member. As soon as I landed in Beihai, I honestly paid the berth fee and various fees, but fortunately, there was not a single fish in the cabin of the net number, or I had to pay a sum of money. Bei Hai paid the money happily. The attitude of the staff over there is also very nice.
The staff said goodbye to Bei Hai, turned his head and walked two steps, then turned around and said to Bei Hai: "There is a bar not far ahead." If you want something to eat or something, you can get a taxi if you go out of here and walk up a bit, if you don't have one, find someone to give you a ride! Have a great time at St. John's! ”。
Bei Hai smiled at the staff member and nodded and said thank you! Knowing that St. John is great. It's several times larger than Gloucester, but it's not really much of an interest in the city's nocturnal seashells. Go to the bar Bei Hai really doesn't drink anything, I don't like to get drunk very much, last year young people love to go to the bouncing place Bei Hai dislikes other people's places are too noisy. It would be better to stay with your captain for the night and return to Gloucester tomorrow.
The staff's plan to promote Beihai's consumption in St. John's is a failure!
"Hey! Buddy! ”。
As soon as Bei Hai turned around and arrived at his berth, he saw an old fisherman in his fifties or sixties getting off the boat and raising his hand to say hello.
"Hello!" Bei Hai also smiled back.
The port on St. John's side is not primarily a fishing port, but an industrial port, like a decent ro-ro ship can be seen everywhere, and as soon as Bei Hai looked up, he saw a freighter in the central channel heading towards the depths of the port. The berths for fishing boats in the harbor here are a bit rudimentary.
Like a large version of the small dock of the home, it is like a plank road that extends into the sea, and the boat is docked on both sides of the plank road. The boat that greeted the old man was close to the net number, and the middle was more than three meters wide on the plank road.
"You're brave enough to sail here on such a small boat!" The old fisherman looked at the American flag hanging on the net number and stood at the opening of his mouth.
Bei Hai has heard this for the second time, the first time it was the enthusiastic bearded fisherman last time, and this time it was an old Canadian man.
"It's nothing, I've sailed all the way along the coast, this is the end of the road, I'll be back tomorrow!"
"George!" After listening to Bei Hai's explanation, the old man introduced himself and stretched out his hand to Bei Hai at the same time.
"Hull!" Bei Hai also told the old fisherman his name.
Seeing that the old man seemed to be tidying up his boat in front of him, Bei Hai asked casually: "How is the catch during this time?" ”。
George shook his head: "Where can I go to sea at such an old age." I don't have the energy to think of it. Someone else just returned my boat, and I'll come over and sort it out and wait for the next charterer."
Bei Hai looked at Old George's boat and said, "Very beautiful boat!" ”。
I have to say that the old man's boat is very well maintained, although judging from the antenna on the roof of the cockpit, the ship has been launched for at least ten years, and the antenna of fishing boats in recent years is rarely like this, and there is generally a radome on the top. As well taken care of. The hull looks at least seven or eight percent new, and it is indeed a good ship.
The bow is painted with the name of the ship: star, the bow and the water surface at right angles. The cockpit is at the front of the boat, and the back of the wheelhouse is on the deck. On the deck near the stern of the ship is a large reel barrel, which indicates that the asterisk is a general longline fishing boat. The main catch of such boats is Atlantic swordfish. The hull is also about twice as large as the one next to it, and this one is about ninety-five feet (about twenty-nine meters) long.
"The asterisk has been with me for more than ten years...... "George said with a smug face when he heard Behai boast of his ship.
After saying all this proudly, George couldn't help but sigh again: "I can't go to sea myself, and it really doesn't make much sense to rent a boat to others!" ”。
About chartering Beihai also knows, although some people can live a good life by renting a boat, but after all, such people are a minority, just the charter fee that day has to be ordinary, if the charter cost is too expensive, of course, people will have to take out a loan to buy a boat, who is not stupid to rent such a super expensive ship for you, and the whole port is not only you a boat rent, the current market is that the fishing boat is slightly larger than the person who wants to charter a boat.
If you want to make money, you still have to put the boat in, that is to say, find an excellent captain to drive the boat and buy shares in the boat yourself, and if you are lucky, you will make a lot of money, and if you are unlucky, you will be bare-striped in a fishing season. But this is another problem, everyone wants to cooperate with a good captain, because everyone knows that this way is a little more likely to make money.
But a good captain is not something you can find if you want to, there are only a few fishing ports, not to mention St. John, from New Jersey to Nanotalik in Greenland, there are less than ten excellent swordfish captains, many of whom are themselves owners, and there are also long-term cooperative owners, and it is really difficult to find a suitable captain.
Bei Hai knew this, but he could only sympathize with George, all the fisherman industry is similar to other industries, only a small part of the money can be made, and the big money is even a small part of this small part, just like the pyramid structure of other industries is also stored in the fisherman industry.
In the fisherman's business, so far a good captain is the best guarantee of investment, and a good captain needs time and talent to grow up, going to college is four years, and a good captain is at least ten years!
It's not uncommon for a guy like George to have a boat in his hand and can't find a good captain to cooperate with, not only here, but also Gloucester, and not just the gold-grabbing fisherman and swordfish fisherman, all fishermen are similar.
Just as Bei Hai was listening to George's nagging, he heard someone walking towards the two of them, shouting as he walked: "Mr. Bei! Are you Mr. Pei? ”。
Bei Hai turned his head and saw a tightly wrapped person walking towards him, and couldn't help but be stunned for a moment.
The young man seemed to notice it, and lifted the hat from the front page to show his face: "We've seen it!" ”。
As soon as this person walked out of the sea, he saw that it was not the sailor on the enthusiastic bearded captain?
"I remember you, we only met two or three days ago, what a coincidence!" Bei Hai said with a smile.
Bei Hai didn't expect that as soon as this young man got on the boat, he went directly to the airport, and flew from that St. John to this St. John in a bumpy small plane carrying only twenty or thirty people, waiting for his own super captain.
"Hull? Seashell? Old George thought for a moment and then asked Bei Hai, "Are you that Hell, the tuna captain of Gloucester?" Shellfish, right? ”。
"If the one you're talking about is in Gloucester, then I think it's me!" Bei Hai didn't expect that he would be so famous, even the old George here, knew his reputation.
"Sure enough, it's you! My name is Lauren and I want to work on your boat on a temporary basis! Lauren immediately opened her mouth when she heard Bei Hai admit it.
It is estimated that he was afraid that Bei Hai would refuse, so he couldn't help but follow up again: "I am very diligent, I can do any job!" ”。
Bei Hai didn't expect that he could meet a self-recommended person here, although Bei Hai admired this person's courage, but he really didn't want anyone on his boat.
Now it is enough to have Matt and Qi Yiming, and the work intensity is much smaller than that of other fishing boats, plus it is ready to really implement an eight-hour work system on his own boat, and it is the kind with two days off!
Two or three months to make a year's money, and still count on eight hours a day? Then this money is too easy to make! This is definitely not good, and it can't be Matt and Qi Yiming's share if you add people's shares, it's directly your own share, and use your own money to support idlers, and there is no need for this at all.
