363 Set sail again
At the same time that Wei @ Hong was busy ** Sylvie, on the deck of the Pride, it was another busy scene.
Everyone is preparing to set sail.
At this time, Li Sanduo was holding a telescope to observe the sea in the distance, he focused on looking at the low dark clouds in the northwest direction for a while, the sea surface there seemed to be raining, Li Sanduo put down the telescope and thought about it, as if he was hesitating something, and said to Gu Jin on the walkie-talkie after a long groan:
"Captain, do you think we can get through this storm?"
"No problem! Don't worry, it's just a small storm, we can't even break through this, so what kind of sea are we running! ”
Gu Jin's voice of encouragement came from the walkie-talkie.
"Okay, let's think of it as a military training......
"Set sail! Heading to 290!"
“…… Stern rudder! ”
"Anchor!"
Li Sanduo shouted into the microphone from the cockpit.
At this time, the crew members who had already taken place immediately took action, and the three people on the foredeck worked together, turning the hinge disk, and in the creaking sound of metal friction, the huge iron anchor slowly rose out of the sea, and the Pride without the iron anchor immediately began to flutter slightly under the action of the waves.
"The rudder is in place!"
There was a shout from the aft engine room.
"Raise the Lordmast and sail!"
"Raise the mainsail!"
"Raise the front rope sail!"
"Spread the left and right wings!"
As the cockpit commanded one by one, the sails of the Pride gradually unfurled, and the Pride, which had eaten enough of the sea breeze, began to move forward slowly, and then gradually accelerated, breaking the waves towards the sea and sky in the distance.......
"At eight o'clock in the morning on June 14, 1657, it was cloudy.
The wind is southeast.
Set sail at 8:30 a.m. and head 289.
There are cumulonimbus clouds fifty nautical miles ahead, and if course is not changed, the fleet is expected to enter the storm area in three hours.
Final Decision: No change in course.
Captain: Gu Jin. ”
At this moment, Gu Jin, who was standing in the cockpit of Nicole, closed the thick nautical journal after writing these few words on the nautical journal.
He looked at the crew on the deck and saw that everyone there was sorting out their life jackets, and Xu Zhi was shuttling around the deck to check.
In the cockpit, Captain Gu said into the telephone:
"The turbine unit, the boiler fire, tell everyone that we are going through another storm test......
As Gu Jin had expected, the fleet entered the storm zone three hours later, and the crew once again saw the waves like hills rushing towards them, the previous time in the sea near Bentinke Island in the south, when they were training to sail. At this time, according to the order of the captain, everyone on both ships, whether on duty or off-duty, was dressed in yellow life jackets, double seat belts around their waists, and full helmets on their heads in accordance with the safety code.
In fact, the Nicole is okay, before the crossing, Anna's excellent design and transformation of the 10,000-ton freeship made the Nicole only have some swaying in the storm, but the Pride is different, the design of the Pride focuses on anti-subversiveness, but sacrifices the anti-swaying performance, therefore, the Pride at this time, like a leaf in the wind and waves, rises and falls violently.
As he went deeper and deeper into the storm area, the turbulence of the Pride became more and more severe, and at this time, Zhu Beiguo had already tied himself with a safety belt attached to the deck fixing bolt, and then he could barely check around on the deck by holding on to the railing.
The Pride in the storm has stricter safety regulations, at this time, in addition to the crew must be fastened with a seat belt fixed somewhere, all kinds of items in the cabin must also be packed, usually placed casually things need to be fixed or put into a small space, without these measures, all the items on the ship will follow the undulating waves up and down, in that case, not to mention the loss of materials, it is also very likely to hurt people.
Obviously, the proud crew members are already very experienced in this, but Dai Xiaoshan in the kitchen and Peng Qiang, who is on rotation, seem to be a little late, causing the two to be quite embarrassed in the big kitchen at this time.
They were supposed to put the jars and jars in the kitchen into the cupboard in time before entering the storm area, but they were a little slower, and when they were halfway through, a nearly two-story "small wave" came over, and the Pride immediately came with a large wave of ups and downs, so there was a jingle in the kitchen, and before they had time to clean up the bottles, jars, pots, shovels, chopsticks and something rolled to the ground, facing this scene, the two people suddenly wanted to cry without tears.
And on the Nicole, the storm also brought a few swings to the hull, ** is a landlubber attribute, he has been staying in the crew cafeteria, which has long been cleaned up, his neck is tied to the back of Sylvi hugging, at this time the little girl seems to be very excited, when a hill-like wave hits, ** quickly hold the table with both hands, but at this time the little Lori felt very funny, giggled.
The kitchen of the Pride was a mess, Dai Peng and the two were in no mood to complain now, and they had no time to complain, they had to try to stuff these things into the cabinet door before the second wave came, and at this time, Zhu Beiguo, who listened to the sound and came to check the situation, immediately stopped the behavior of several people---- there were several glass ballasts on the ground, and if anyone sat on it with one stumble, or pressed it with one hand, it would be a serious injury accident.
Zhu Beiguo instructed the two people to hug the dining chairs or dining tables in the dining room, these furniture are fixed on the ground, as for the altars and jars on the ground, don't care about it!
"Keep it low! Hold on! The waves are coming! ”
Zhu Beiguo's voice has not fallen, boom! Wow! A wave crashed heavily on the left foredeck of the Pride, the Pride raised its bow high and then plunged headlong into the sea.
Although Peng Qiang didn't know how high the wave was, when he looked up at the porthole, he found that the sky outside was suddenly blocked by seawater, and with a bang, the hatch of the restaurant was washed open by the seawater, and a stream of seawater rushed in, and the restaurant immediately became a country.
Then Peng Qiang and the others watched as a large number of bottles and cans of all kinds were carried out of the hatch by the seawater, and disappeared without a trace in an instant---- among which was a bottle of precious spicy sauce from the old world......
"Well, maybe it's past the expiration date, and if it's gone, it's gone."
At this time, Zhu Beiguo spoke out in time to comfort the two who were soaked in the water and embarrassed.
"Oh yes! Hahahaha! It's so exciting! ”
At this moment, there was a sudden shout from the deck.
"As soon as I heard it, I knew it was Hu Xiaolin!"
Peng Qiang hugged the table leg and responded.
At this time, the waves crashed against the hull of the Pride, and there were actually exclamations from everyone everywhere on the deck, but Hu Xiaolin's cry was the loudest, because his current position was the lookout, and among all the people, it was the highest place where he stayed.
"He's at the lookout, isn't he? Under such storms? Swinging at such a high place, hehe, enough for him to drink a pot......"
Dai Xiaoshan listened attentively.
"It was he who was bold and took the initiative to replace Liu Yishuang, saying that he wanted to experience ......"
At this time, Zhu Beiguo half-squatted on the ground, holding the legs of the table with both hands and responded.
"Hmmm! This is indeed his style! But let me tell you, Hu Xiaolin's seasickness was quite bad a while ago, and he also had a fear of heights! ”
At this time, although Dai Xiaoshan was sitting on a chair, he was holding the edge of the dining table in front of him with both hands, almost lying on the table, and when he heard this, he looked up and said to Zhu Beiguo next to him:
"Yes, Hu Xiaolin's seasickness doesn't seem to have gone to the root yet...... But is that okay? ”
"Don't worry, I saw him tie himself to the mast and use four safety belts, rest assured, he can swing on it safely, and he will definitely not fall out. And this thing is determined to go by himself, he ...... voluntarily"
While speaking, Zhu Beiguo took advantage of a swaying of the ship's hull, quickly rushed to the hatch, slammed the hatch shut, and then leaned against the hatch to gasp, and said to the two people in front of him.
"To be honest, Hu Xiaolin is very hard-working......"
"It seems that his fear of heights will be cured soon......"
"I don't know, but listening to his screams, don't be scared crazy, right?"
At this time, Peng Qiang's tone was ridiculous.
