Chapter 072: Being watched again
After copying the earth dog out of the sea and asking it to put the small fish into the space lake, Bei Hai put the earth dog back into the sea. This series of actions Bei Hai did very carefully, and this was the direction of carrying several other boats.
As the sky gradually darkened, the lights on the surrounding boats were also lit up.
When Matt wakes up, Behai has already prepared dinner - fried squid with onion burritos, simple and delicious.
Bei Hai ate three pieces in a row, and Old Matt was not far behind.
"There are more ships again, and our Ripple is being watched again!" Throwing the last small piece of burrito tail directly into his mouth, Matt looked around, looked around at Bei Hai, a little impatient and mixed with an indescribable sense of pride.
"There's no way, where can we hide here, as long as you are literate, you will know that we are here!" Bei Hai said with a little impatience.
The Ripple stopped here, and anyone who passed by knew it, even if they didn't know what the captain was like, they could tell it by the big letters of the Bowen on the bow of the Guò, unless the captain was illiterate.
"Where is Diego's ship?" Matt asked at Bei Hai.
Bei Hai replied directly: "Diego is still in the front place, and he didn't come to Cape Cod Bay!" ”。
"Oh! Then you go to bed tonight, and I'll call me again when it's three to four o'clock," Matt said to Bei Hai.
"Let's go to bed early today, I start at eleven o'clock until half past two in the morning, and you go from half past two to morning, what do you think?" Bei Hai re-proposed his own construction, thought for a while and said: "Everyone sleep a little longer, why don't you wait for nine o'clock to sleep first, and then change me at three o'clock?" I look a little better this way! ”。
"Call me if there's a fish?" Matt nodded and agreed with Bei Hai's plan.
"How many fish did we catch at night?" Bei Hai said with a smile: "Our fishing time is during the day, if we don't need someone to watch the boat, we can go directly to sleep."
"Haha!" Matt laughed when he heard Bei Hai's words: "Also, we all ...... fishing during the day." Beginning with the topic, Matt talked about some of the things that happened to the fishermen, some of whom were superstitious about time, some of whom preferred the evening, and some of whom liked to throw hooks late at night.
While the two were eating and chatting, the intercom on the ship rang again: "Ripple!" Ripple number! We are the Coast Guard, we will board the ship right away, please have all the documents ready! ”。
I can't stop answering this call, but people are here to check! Bei Hai immediately turned his chair and picked up the intercom: "The ripple number has been received, and our documents will be ready immediately."
"Thank you for your cooperation!" The other end quickly hung up the radio.
Bei Hai put down the intercom and began to reach for the documents, while Matt took all the leftovers back to the ship's galley.
After taking their things, Bei Hai and Matt stood on the deck together and looked at the Coast Guard ship not far away, which was a ship the size of a small warship, and it was impossible to get close to the fishing boat. Generally speaking, the guards above have to be replaced by a runabout before they can board the fishing boat for inspection.
The law enforcement agency in charge of the sea here in the United States is simply a coast guard. When it comes to the sea, the Coast Guard is like a police officer on land, and does almost everything. There are many kinds of police in China, and one type of police in the United States is the police, and this kind of police is not only in charge of traffic but also in charge of large and small criminal cases, and even the work of domestic urban management is also done by the police.
The four guards came to the side of the boat in a dinghy, and Bei Hai stretched out his hand to pull the first guard up.
"Hull, how's it going today?" A white man who looked like a small leader, about thirty years old, looked at the list sent by Bei Hai and said this casually.
"It's just three fish today, not too big and more than 400 pounds, barely okay," Bei Hai said.
The little leader couldn't help but smile when he heard Bei Hai's words.
Another heavily armed guard standing next to him said, "This is a good result, we have checked all the way, and there are more hunters than you, and they have caught four tuna, one of which is more than six hundred pounds." But he's just as unhappy with his catch, just like you."
Hearing what his companion said, the remaining two guards couldn't help but laugh.
This joke not only made Bei Hai, but even old Matt was a little confused.
At this time, the little leader had already checked the documents of the Ripple: "There is no problem, how many days will you stay at sea?" ”。
"Two days at most," Bei Hai said.
"Pay attention to safety, the wind and waves may be very strong tomorrow night, your boat will be very bumpy, if you can, finish early and return to port" The little leader said to Bei Hai, "Finally, I wish you good luck!" ”。
"Thank you!" Bei Hai said thankfully to the four of them.
I watched as the four guards returned to the dinghy, and then slowly headed for another small fishing boat nearby.
"There will be a storm in two days?" Bei Hai turned to Matt and asked.
Matt thought for a moment and said, "It shouldn't be a storm, maybe it's a little bigger!" It's only September yet, but a little bit of a storm is a good thing for a fisherman......."
Old Matt is talking about a common belief among fishermen, that is, the more the wind and waves come, the fatter the fish is caught. Bei Hai didn't know if it was the truth or a lie. However, Bei Hai did not have time to dwell on this thing, but became interested in the coming storm.
What Bei Hai has always seen is almost the same as today, the sun is shining on the sea, and the salty breeze brings waves of small waves gently lapping the hull of the boat, even a small cloth like the Ripple will not go up and down like a roller coaster. At first glance, when he heard about the strong wind and waves, Bei Hai looked forward to it, and even thought in his heart: Let the storm come more violently.
Fortunately, the old Matt next to him couldn't hear the voice of his captain, and if he heard it, he would have to think carefully about his life and the importance of making money. It's okay to have a little wind and waves, but it's more violent? I'm afraid that no captain will like this thing except for the current Bei Hai.
The night went silent, and the next morning, as soon as the sun jumped above the sea level, the Ripple had a new catch: a medium-sized tuna was dragged to the deck.
Now a group of fishing boats have regrouped around the Ripple, and the captains of the fishing boats gathered around the Ripple are doing the same thing: monitoring the Ripple's every move with binoculars. Among them was Bull of the Hammer, but this time Bull didn't have a chance to get to Bei Hai's side, and he came late and nodded so he could only mix with the periphery.
"Duke! Hurry up, Hull's Ripple has caught another fish, a fish that looks very good! The fish here should be good," Bull talked to his old buddy as he watched the distant Ripple be dragged up from the sea through his binoculars.
Duke didn't get the slightest excitement this time, and replied, "I'm not going to follow the Ripple, I'm going to follow the Hunter this time, and his catch is good!" ”。
How could Duke not know that there were fish there and others said, but catching four in a row also made Duke envious to death, and even so, Duke decided not to follow the Ripple this time.
"Why?" Bull didn't understand.
"You follow first, I want to follow the Hunter first" Duke didn't want to say anything to Bourdo, he couldn't understand it.
The two chatted for a while before ending the call.
Sometimes people feel so strange, and now Duke has this feeling that he can't gain anything from following the Ripple, and as an old fisherman, Duke chooses to believe in his feelings.
It's the same for Duke, without Hull's Ripple, or Jade's Hunter and Finch's Christine! Why bother to watch the Ripple drag fish to the boat one after another.
