The last set of fishing gear was put into the sea, and Qi Yiming and Matt dragged their tired bodies and sat down directly on the steps of the bridge. Neither of them spoke, and the first thing he did when he sat down was to take out a cigarette case from his body and put it in his mouth.

With a snap, Qi Yiming turned off the lighter, and just wanted to light it to himself, he found that old Matt was still touching the lighter on his body, so he immediately reached out and moved the flame in front of Matt.

Matt watched the flames come and immediately leaned in, lit the cigarette in his mouth, closed his eyes and took a big puff. Qi Yiming, who was sitting next to Matt, was also like this, and neither of them opened their mouths to make a sound.

Because both of them are so tired, they don't even have the energy to pay attention to the politeness they should pay attention to now, and they don't even want to speak. As soon as the fishing gear was put into the sea, the two of them seemed to have been drained of all their strength.

After smoking a cigarette, Qi Yiming turned to Matt and asked, "When are we going back to the port?" We didn't have enough cigarettes! ”。

It turned out that the two of them were not too good at smoking, and this time they went to sea with a total of about ten packs of cigarettes, and now they have bottomed out.

"Why do you want to go back to Hong Kong?" Matt looked at Qi Yiming and squeezed out a smile from his face, now the arrow has been in the sea area of Granbank for a full ten days, and the benefits of the body are declining day by day in the past ten days, less than four hours of sleep a day and such a strong physical labor have quickly squeezed Qi Yiming's body and spirit dry.

Not to mention Qi Yiming and Matt, even the four-person young man on the asterisk is gone, and now he is not in the same spirits as he was at the beginning, let alone twisting and dancing on the deck. It is estimated that as long as Joey says that he can rest in place, these boys can directly lie on the deck and fall asleep in the blood.

The rapid consumption of the sailors on both ships has resulted in a full catch in the cabin. The Arrow's hold was filled with nearly 80,000 pounds of fish, and the asterisk's hold was almost empty. Even if the staggering 140,000 pounds of fish were returned to Hong Kong now, even George would agree to Bei Hai completing the terms of the contract to return with a full tank.

After the two of them smoked a cigarette, some strength seemed to return to the two of them, and they stood up and walked towards the bridge by the handrail beside them.

"Captain?" Matt was about to ask something, but he closed his mouth when he saw Bei Hai holding the intercom here. He Qi Yiming took off his waterproof jacket while listening to what Bei Hai was saying.

"Joey, have you put away all the fishing gear? What about the catch? Bei Hai listened to Joey's voice on the satellite phone and asked knowingly.

The original big fish are all back, and Bei Hai doesn't let the fritters go elsewhere, so they swim back and forth directly at the place where the asterisk threw the extension cable! The catch on the asterisk is almost a bigeye tuna and yellowfin tuna added together and then half open with the swordfish, you must know where the price of tuna is a pound and five dollars swordfish can be compared, and the first time to reel in the cable Kang Li these four are still quite excited. It's all TUNA, which means that there is enough money to share, but now everyone is as tired as a dog, and everyone is about to forget about this matter.

"The rest of the eighteen TUNAs are two hundred pounds of swordfish, and they can't fit in the freezer!" Joey said into the intercom at this point. The implication is to hurry up and order us to return to Hong Kong with an asterisk! While you can take advantage of the back and forth, you can still take a break and recuperate.

After Joey finished speaking, he turned his head to look at the four heads who had come to the wheelhouse and waited for the news of the return voyage, whether it was the three swordfish novices in Kangli or Lauren, who was a veteran, the swordfish deck was full of anticipation.

"God! Back to Hong Kong, back to Hong Kong! Conry whispered a prayer to God in his heart, hoping that the captain would come from the satellite phone and say that he would allow him to return to the sea.

It's a pity that God can't control their captain, because the captain doesn't want God, and now it is said that he believes in Sanqing: "Throw it again at the end!" You'll be back in Hong Kong about tomorrow night! ”。

"Ouch!" As soon as I heard the intercom come from the intercom, I threw the cable again. The four boys immediately turned bitter and began to sigh directly.

Joey looked at the four of them and said, "Hold on one more time!" Go back and get ready to throw fishing gear! ”。 Watching the four deck sailors staggering out of the wheelhouse, Joey said to Bei Hai: "The boys are really a little unbearable! I think I'm going to be back in Hong Kong at the most, regardless of whether the fish are still there or not! ”。

Joey understood. It would be unwise for any captain to give the order to return at this time, for the purpose of going out to sea is to fish, not to go back and forth to the port and to the fishing grounds. Because now I am firmly following the fish on the boat, and it is a mixed school of fish with such high economic value. It's not just fatty Atlantic swordfish, but half of it is tuna. If such a catch is gone, it is really good luck that God has given it.

But Joey, as the first mate in charge of the ship, also knew that he could not go on like this, even if it was only for seven or eight days. But the intensity of labor is far from being comparable to that of other longline vessels, let alone anything else, and about half of the longline fishing vessels that come to Granbank will not have the current income of the asterisk until the end of the fishing season, and even if the asterisk returns to the port directly, it can enter the top ten by the end of the fishing season with such catches.

The catch is several times more satisfying than others, but the consumption of this body also means that it is several times that of others, and the four are all down-to-earth and hard-working young men, and no one is too sneaky and slippery, but the four are not guys who wear underwear after all! If you don't have such a super body, you can cope with a few more operations, and if you continue to force it like this, the captain of Bei Hai will see a deck uprising. For eight days in a row, I slept for about three hours a day, and even ate and went to the toilet with a trot, which is really not something that ordinary people can bear.

This thing was something that Bei Hai didn't think of, maybe he thought of it, but he didn't think it would be so strict, he thought that he would pull fish! However, reality has taught Beihai a lesson, and pulling fish also depends on the body.

"I know!" Bei Hai understood what Joey meant as soon as he heard it, and then explained: "Don't go to the port of Newfoundland this time, go back to Gloucester directly!" ”。

"Back to Gloucester? It would take nearly two and a half more days to go back and forth," Joey said. Joey meant to go back to the port and take a break, not to say that Jianyi's own captain was spending so much time on the road.

"This time I thought things were too simple, and there were still some things to do when I went back, first of all, I had to add two men to the Arrow, I thought I would add two sailors directly from the asterisk, and then the asterisk would of course have to add two sailors. I'd like to hear your opinion now? Bei Hai said.

Although he made his own decision, it was only some small links in the general direction, and Bei Hai still had to ask Joey's opinion, such as putting the power of transferring people into Joey's hands.

"You know that the income on the arrow is much higher than on the asterisk! It's unfair to the crew on the asterisk directly from the words of recruitment," Bei Hai explained by the way.

Joey listened and said, "I understand, Captain! After speaking, he thought for a while and said: "If the asterisk is raised, I think Dominic and Lauren are more suitable!" ”。

"Hmm!" Bei Hai was a little puzzled when he heard it, Lauren is an experienced Dominic, and he has often been praised by Joey these times, and now Joey has recommended his own crew members who are relatively more hard-working.

"Those who work harder deserve to be rewarded!" Joey said. The four boys are very hard-working, but Conry and Isla are a little slack in comparison, which is understandable, both of them are closer to Joey, and Joey and their fathers are friends.

"Then do as you say," Bei Hai was very satisfied with Joey's decision, and then asked, "Do you have any recommendations for the two new candidates on the asterisk?" ”。

Joey said, "I'm going to build three of them this time, and there's an older sailor on deck to set an example!" Why don't you find someone first, it's not a good thing to poach someone! ”。

Old Joey is a little more treacherous in this regard, it's not a good thing to dig people, but it's not a bad thing for others to come and ask first, Joey's words Bei Hai obviously understood, and laughed twice in a row.

In the past few days, Joey has also found that the spirit of young people comes and goes quickly, for example, although Bei Hai threw a cable Matt and Qi Yiming were very tired, and more tired than the four guys, they still accepted the honest drag of their tired bodies and laid out fishing gear again, but these young men dragged a little bit over the months.

"Well," Bei Hai said, "That's it, you will return to Hong Kong before midnight tomorrow, and we will arrive later, I estimate that the time for us to return to Hong Kong should be about the same!" ”。

"Okay! So I'll inform Dominic and Lauren later? Joey asked.

"Yes!" Bei Hai said: "Then I'll hang up!" ”。

Putting down the satellite phone, Joey walked to the door of the cockpit and looked at the foursome guys working on deck, it now seemed that Dominic and Lauren were still trying harder.

"Dominic, Lauren, you two are waiting for this time to go ashore and report directly to the Arrow!" Joey shouted to the two men on deck.

"What?" Dominic and Lauren both stopped what they were doing, and then continued to busily hang the strands and bait on the cable.

The two of them couldn't believe their ears, and for Dominic and Lauren they certainly knew what that meant, meaning that they were earning a lot more than they do now. The sudden sense of happiness suddenly made the faces of the two of them like flowers.

Bei Hai decided to go back to his home port, to say that there is no element of showing off, I'm afraid that even Bei Hai himself doesn't believe it, if there is no shortage of manpower, Bei Hai may not return to his home port, and now he has grabbed an excuse not to go back, how can he catch his two boats! At this time, if you don't go along with it, when will you wait? (To be continued......)
