Chapter Seventy-Two: Tidal Island

The stone caught the slippery octopus and entered the captain's room, the octopus's suction cup could not be shaken off from his hand, and his disgusted look was ridiculous, "Can anyone explain why the fish is fished? help me take this thing down!"

Everyone laughed.

After the waterspout subsided, the ship had already sailed through the waters off the island, and a chain of archipelago appeared in front of it. It is not so much an archipelago as a huge stone pillar towering over the sea, and the entire sea is full of reefs, making it difficult for ships to move forward.

"How do you get in?" asked Lao Li, who was silent, just steering the ship and sailing near the archipelago.

"No way. After sailing around for a while, Lao Li pointed to the chart he found before, "There are too many reefs here, the waves are too fierce, and the gap between the islands is too close, and the boat will definitely sink if it goes in." ”

"There's no way we're going to swim in a wetsuit, are we?" said Stone smiled wryly. Akagi didn't say a word, since there was a clue and hope, there was no reason to back down, he took out a set of diving suits and put them on. Lao Wang and the man with glasses faced the archipelago, although they were at a loss, but they did not mean to stop Akagi.

"Wait, calm down, I know you want to heal your father, but if you go in like this, you will die, and a wave will knock you to death on the reef. "Wood stopped Akagi.

Lao Li docked the boat in a small island bay sheltered from the wind, where the wind and waves were relatively light, and he asked everyone to rest for a while. Akagi has been staring at the chart in a daze since he was stopped by the wood. Lao Wang asked Mu to stay by Akagi's side to prevent him from being impulsive again.

"Lao Li will be able to take us to find Gan Tuo Island, don't be in a hurry. Kiki wanted to cheer up, but Akagi didn't respond, so he had to turn his gaze to the chart in front of Akagi. Inadvertently, the wood discovered that the distance between the islands was wider than the parchment chart they had found in the wreck, except that the island had not been mapped on the island.

Wood's mind was opened, "I see. Lao Li!" the wood shouted, and everyone came over, "Look at this modern chart, the distance between the two islands is wider than that on the sheepskin chart, and there are still a few of them. Wood pointed out the difference between the two charts one by one, it is really difficult to distinguish if you are not careful, Wood took out a charcoal pen and drew a curved route on the chart, "We ignored the altitude, just now we saw the altitude marked on the modern chart, and suddenly figured out that the island is a tidal island, and the sea will only be exposed at low tide." If you want to get in, you have to go through the three straits here, here and here, at high tide, and then the strait between the islands will be full of seawater, so that the ship will not run aground. ”

"Makes sense," Lao Li agreed with Wood's idea, "that's why the two charts will be different, and the parchment charts are drawn at low tide." ”

"Let's do it. "Akagi can't wait.

"No, we have to wait, first look at the law of the tide, we need to find out how long the tide will last, how high it will rise, it is better to pass through it in one go at high tide, otherwise the ship is likely to run aground or get stuck in the strait. Lao Li has always acted steadily, he leaned against the bow of the boat, watched the tide, lit a cigarette, and Akagi walked into the cabin.

"Eh, what's wrong?" asked Akagi, who felt that Akagi was not as calm and restless as he used to be.

"This time there must be a reward," Akagi said, lying on his side on the bed, with his back to the wood, "Before the operation, I went to the hospital to see my dad, and he was even more crazy and had no time. After Akagi finished speaking, his snort worsened, and he didn't know if he fell asleep. The wood looked at the stone, and after the boat stopped, the seasickness of the stone was much better, and the stone shrugged his shoulders, which meant to accompany him to go crazy and help him fulfill his wish.
