Chapter 227: The Storm Strikes Suddenly
Unconscious of the thought that had crossed his captain's mind, Lauren continued: "I think the ball knows where the king crab is!" ”。
Nonsense! Piqiu naturally knew where there was a king crab in his own space, and as soon as Bei Hai wanted to make a sound, he heard Joey's voice coming from the earpiece in his hand.
"Lauren, be louder, what does the ball know? I didn't hear clearly! ”。
Lauren immediately leaned over to the earpiece and said, "I said the ball probably knows where there is a king crab in the sea!" ”。
"That's great," Joey said as soon as he heard this, "Now a king crab costs thousands of dollars, and the price is very good."
Bei Hai opened his mouth and asked, "Even if Piqiu knows where there are giant king crabs, do you think we still have a boat to catch these crabs?" Is it a good deal for us? ”。
As soon as he heard Bei Hai's words, Lauren's face suddenly fell, even if he could catch a giant king crab? More profitable than catching fish now? It is unlikely that the market for giant crab is far less than that of swordfish and tuna, and it may mature in the future, but definitely not in this season. The price is several thousand dollars, firstly, because it tastes really delicious, and secondly, because the wealthy people in the neighborhood are asking for freshness, and as for the future development of the king crab market, it is still too early.
"Tell me about what you found," Bei Hai said, looking at Lauren's face. Bei Hai's arrangement for the king crab is not like this, you have to wait for your own saury to unfold, so that you can start this fishing. Now I just want to hear what Lauren has discovered.
Lauren said: "I just took the foot of a giant king crab to tease the ball, and the ball jumped into the sea and a little while it bit a king crab and came out, although it was not big. But when I took it, he quickly bit another one, but it caught two and then didn't go into the sea. Then I ate it one bite at a time, and finally I grabbed the tongs."
After speaking, Lauren pointed up the half of the crab claw in his hand at Bei Hai.
I heard Lauren say this. Bei Hai understood that the ball was not playing with him as Lauren said at all, but that the ball was hungry and got a king crab in the water to pad his stomach. When he was about to eat it, Lauren took the crab. The ball is now also paying attention to seals, thinking that Lauren is also hungry so he gave the king crab 'kindly' to Lauren, and after getting two in a row, the ball was not happy, not only did not give it but also snatched back the food that was originally given, and this time Lauren returned to the pre-liberation period. Not a single crab hair in his hand is gone.
In fact, no one is happy with this matter on anyone's head, even if it is a person, there will be an opinion, let alone a ball? It's like a person grabbing a bun in his hand, watching you swallow saliva and giving it to you, who knows that you took this, and you haven't eaten it yet, and you see people turn around and buy another one and you want it, and they don't give it and are ready to grab it! It's all good not to beat you up!
The ball was annoyed, so naturally he didn't even eat two giant king crabs, and he didn't give Lauren, a 'don't know how to lift'.
Joey listened and said directly: "You robbed the food of the ball, so he didn't play with you!" ”。
"Alright, go back and get a good night's sleep, and get your fishing gear early tomorrow morning." Then let's get ready to go back to Hong Kong," Bei Hai said to Lauren.
Lauren couldn't help but smile on her face when she heard that she was returning to Hong Kong: "Back to Hong Kong? ”。
"Hmmm! What's the matter, you don't want to go back to Hong Kong? Behai joked to Lauren.
Although there were only 100,000 pounds of fish on board, more than two weeks had passed since departure, and although there were four people on the deck this time, they had only stayed at sea for more than ten days. Or the square inch of land on the deck, although it has the excitement of gold and money, but the port will add some attraction to the sailors every day.
"Yes. Absolutely! Lauren said happily, "But the fish in our cabin are not full yet."
"There will be a storm the day after tomorrow, and I will wake up early tomorrow morning to turn against Hong Kong. Then stay in the harbor for three days and wait for the storm to leave the fishing grounds before returning, and you'll have enough time to go home and stay for two days. Others should stay in the harbor honestly," Bei Hai said.
Lauren is Canadian, and she is at home in St. John's, except that St. John is not on the island of Newfoundland.
"That's great," Lauren said immediately.
"Let's get out".
Lauren turned away from the bridge, and soon there was a burst of joy from Bei Hai on the deck, and now the catch on the ship can be regarded as a good harvest for both the crew and the captain of Bei Hai, and the atmosphere on the ship is naturally much easier than most fishing boats. The crew now wants to return to Hong Kong more than they think about their own money, of course, when they arrive at the port, it is estimated that everyone wants more money than returning to Hong Kong, which is also human nature.
"Okay, I'm hanging up here," Bei Hai picked up the intercom and said to Joey.
Sitting on his chair, Bei Hai thought about what Lauren just said, although the ball was eaten as a snack and Lauren saw it as crab fishing, but this matter still provided Bei Hai with an idea, whether he could 'tametic' some marine animal fishing, just like the fishermen he had seen before taming fish eagles. Can this idea be applied to the map of our own marine fishing business?
If you do this, you can expand along this line? Now all Bei Hai can think of is the killer whale family, because in addition to the four potato fritters and leather balls, this family is considered to have the highest IQ, as long as they can communicate simply, such as fishing and the like.
Thinking of this, Bei Hai felt the need to change his thinking, fish farming is of course very important, but grazing self-raised fish in the ocean seems to be a good idea. And playing the role of a herding dog also prevents these killer whales from eating white food, doesn't it? Besides, this idea is also very exciting, a few oversized fishing boats follow the school of killer whales, and then the killer whales drive the school of fish around, what a good idea!
Of course, these are small ideas, and they can't be perfected for a while. According to the daily routine, everyone should sleep after dinner, and Bei Hai also set the ship to autopilot at more than twelve o'clock, and took a nap in the cabin.
Everyone was snoring here, and suddenly Bei Hai woke up. Not only woke up but also felt a soreness in his body, Bei Hai fell directly from the bed to the ground.
"!" As soon as Bei Hai sat up and was about to stand up, he immediately fell on his stomach again. Then I heard the freshly made kettle on my desk, which smashed to the ground with a bang.
It's a big wave! Bei Hai suddenly understood. As the captain of the ship, there is no hesitation now, Bei Hai didn't even change his clothes and ran directly towards the bridge, fortunately, as long as Bei Hai came to his senses, it was difficult for such waves to shake Bei Hai down, but at the door of Bei Hai's cabin, he heard Qi Yiming and Matt cursing.
Ran to the bridge and turned on the headlights on the top of the boat, it turned out that the fog lights that only identified the location of the ship were not bright enough, but now as soon as the headlights were turned on, Bei Hai directly saw a big wave directly on the top of the boat.
Bei Hai hurriedly lifted the automatic state and began to take over the control of the ship, turning the bow of the ship in the direction of the big waves.
After a few minutes, Matt held on to the handrail and stretched his head out of the emergency window to look up at Bei Hai and asked, "Captain, how fast is the wind now?" How come all of a sudden such a big wave".
"Now it's at least twenty-five verses! These guys eat rice" Bei Hai immediately scolded the weather forecaster, these stupid birds are so stormy that the storm can only form tomorrow?
"Hold it up!"
Just as he was speaking, another big wave struck the arrow.
Bei Hai turned to Matt and asked, "Is anyone hurt?" ”。
"Only Dominic's arm fell to the ground and was scratched a little skin, and the head door was hit by the book belt on the table in the cabin, and his face was a little swollen, which is not a major injury."
After asking about the matter on his ship, Bei Hai dialed the satellite phone again and asked about the situation on the asterisk. The asterisk was much luckier, he had finished his fishing gear at twelve o'clock, and was now sailing towards the harbor, having walked for five hours, although the wind and waves were strong, but there was no situation that the arrow had encountered so far.
And this time, Bei Hai really felt the power of the Atlantic, when the big waves rose. The arrow is straight to the bow of the ship to rise 30 degrees, and when the wave crest is over, it is replaced by the stern rise. With this kind of wave height now, why do you want to collect fishing gear? Saving one's life first is the most important thing, of course, Bei Hai himself doesn't have to worry about it at all. But if the ship capsizes and sinks. The other four lives will not be able to be saved, unless Bei Hai gets them into space. If you are still thinking about your fishing gear now, except for Bei Hai who does it himself, the other four people dare to stand on the deck for two seconds at most. I'm afraid it's gone!
Angry waves!
When the sky was bright, Bei Hai felt such a scene. The entire sky, including the sea, is a violent blue-gray color. It's not clear what the sky is and what the sea is, and even the whitest you see is not the sky. Instead, the waves that rolled up and scattered formed a series of narrow and winding waves on the sea surface, which flickered and appeared in front of you.
It seems to be raining in the sky, and it doesn't seem to be raining, but in fact, it doesn't matter if it rains or not, anyway, there is endless water as far as the eye can see except for water or water.
The waves swelled on the gray-blue sea one after another, one after the other, and one after the other. The whole arrow is now like a fallen leaf lifted by the autumn wind, drifting away with the wind. The whole hull of the ship staggered in the big waves, struggling to move forward. And the feeling of being in the cabin is like playing a roller coaster and a pirate ship at the same time, and the feeling of insignificance and helplessness in the face of the power of the sea immediately surges.
The speed of more than 20 knots is usually quite exciting, but under such wind and waves, even the usual skills are not shown.
Bei Hai was concentrating on driving his ship on the bridge, and now he could only move slowly towards the harbor. The wind and waves became more and more violent as time went by, and every time a big wave came, the whole ship of the Arrow seemed to be immersed in the sea.
Matt and Qi Yiming, together with Dominique and Lauren, are now nestled in the cockpit, Matt tied himself to the passenger seat with a seat belt, and the remaining three stayed in the hatch and hugged the armrest on the cabin wall. All four of them are now in pajamas! And the pajamas are honestly covered with orange life jackets. None of the four crew members had the confidence to say that they would be fine this time, and almost all of them were pale and speechless in the face of such a storm outside the window.
Dominic was still muttering something quietly, as if praying. Qi Yiming and Lauren next to him didn't hear clearly, maybe the two of them didn't have the heart to listen to what Dominic said now, both of them raised their heads and looked at the cockpit window to meet the waves on the bow of the boat, every time the hull suddenly sank, and the hearts of the two of them sank with the hull, for fear that the ship would be directly pressed into the sea by the waves and never get up again.
Fortunately, when everyone looked at their captain, they didn't see a trace of worry on the captain's face, and several people felt through the captain's gaze that their captain still enjoyed such a wind and waves.
"It's a pity that we have three sets of fishing gear" Bei Hai turned his head to look at the three of them, and felt that his crew members were not good-looking, including Old Matt, and directly opened his mouth and said jokingly.
Qi Yiming opened his mouth, hugged the handrail with his arms and wanted to ask Bei Hai very much: "Can we still go back to the port?" But after opening his mouth twice, he closed it, and he thought it was better not to ask such an unlucky thing. (To be continued......)
