Sailing on an ancient sailing ship was a tedious and tedious task, but it was highly technical.

European navigators or captains of this era, when traveling between Europe and the New World, generally had to consider the influence of ocean currents in addition to wind and climate, such as the Canary Cold Current, the North Equatorial Current, the Gulf Current, and so on!

Over time, these summed up experiences have gradually formed several fixed routes, and what the captain or navigator on the ship needs to do is to sail along these fixed routes, so as to save time and effort! Pirates in the Caribbean are frequently haunted by these important routes.

In fact, the sailing ships of this era still rely on the sea breeze to sail in most cases, whether it is downwind, headwind or crosswind. If there is no wind, you can use a laborious oar if you are really in a hurry!

It's just that the general large sailing ships, especially the Galen ship type of ocean-going sailing ships, are generally not equipped with oars, and when there is no wind and no current, it can only float slowly, anyway, the climate of the ocean is changeable, at most three or five days to float the wind, these things, for the crew who have been living at sea for many years, is already commonplace.

However, such extreme absence of wind and currents usually occurs only when exploring new routes or crossing the equatorial windless zone, otherwise it must be a failure of the captain or navigator. Without losing course, there will never be too many surprises on the shipping lanes that have been explored by European navigators, except, of course, encountering pirates!

Today is Anne's second day at sea, and after a twilight and night voyage, the boring life on board ensues.

At this time, the Dreadnought was crossing the equatorial windless zone, and its sails were only lowered on one side, while the other sails were still closed, but under Anne's constant strong wind magic, the Dreadnought was still able to run at a speed of more than ten knots with one side of the sail! The speed of more than ten knots was already the highest speed that the original Dreadnought could achieve before the magic reform, and along the way, the fact that they could run at high speed with one of their sails did not frighten the merchant ships they encountered.

At this time, the rudder on the bridge was just a helmsman of the former Navy operating the Dreadnought, and Annie, Barsabo, Norrington and Jack? The four Sparrow were all sitting on the aft terrace, looking nervously at each other, and occasionally at the sea below the stern.

Behind them, there was also a group of sailors who watched the excitement, and from time to time there was a commotion!

It turned out that little Anne was holding a fishing tournament with the three of them, and in order to make the fishing tournament go smoothly, she specially ordered the sailors to put away most of the sails, and little Anne also threw her Tiebs into the space pocket for the first time, saving the fish away!

The two sisters, Cecilia and Christina, were nervously standing next to Anne, helping her prepare her rod and other fishing tackle, and now the second round of the fishing tournament was ready to begin, the rules of the tournament were simple: each person was allowed to fish once, and at the end of the day, the weight of the fish caught by each other was compared, and the heaviest one won.

Originally, in the morning, it was just the extremely bored Anne and the idle Jack? Sparrow is playing a fishing tournament, while a happy Bassabo is robbing the helmsman of the helmsman, taking the helm of the Dreadnought, which has become a magical ship, and Norrington is spending his boring life at sea and his humiliating half-captive life in the sailors' room.

In the morning, the first round of the fishing tournament was undoubtedly Jack? Captain Sparrow's victory came to an end. Because, he actually caught a tuna weighing 120 pounds! And what about little Annie? Only a small flying fish was caught, and the flying fish was alarmed by the boat and flew up, and accidentally jumped into Annie's fish frame, so it barely became her catch, and it did not end up empty-handed.

After losing the game, little Anne generously served Jack? Sparrow's telescope has a constant eagle eye, allowing it to see farther at any time of the day, in any weather, even in the dark or foggy nights! And, even under normal circumstances, it can exceed the viewing distance by more than three times that of the best and most delicate marine telescopes.

This time, it can be regarded as alarming Barsabo and Norrington, and after enchanting, this ordinary telescope immediately became a nautical treasure vying to see!

For a captain, it's a priceless existence! Not only can you see farther and clearer, but you can also ignore day and night or bad weather, which is a treasure that exists specifically for sailing! How could they not be blushing?

So, in the second fishing tournament of the afternoon, the captains participated in all of them!

"Although I don't fish often, but, believe me, a wild man like you will never understand what kind of existence can be called a master fisherman!"

The first to take the stage was Brigadier General Norrington, who looked confident, and he pulled out his luxurious special boom and used a special lure that was specially custom-made.

When he had finished taunting the two pirates, he picked up his delicate fishing rod, and with a graceful flick, he threw the fish directly to the surface of the sea, and then began to wait for the fish to take the bait.

"Just look at it, I'm using a thick line and a big hook, and I'm going to catch a big one!"

According to the rules before the start of the competition, everyone only has half an hour to fish, and the first fish caught is considered the final result, and it will be changed to the next person immediately!

And if there are no fish on the bait for more than half an hour, then the score is zero! Of course, in order to prevent witches from cheating, they also agreed that they could not use any magic or anything related to magic!

Although he hadn't fished for a long time, he might have a little bit of a hand, but Norrington didn't worry too much, according to his usual fishing experience, when he used the bait soaked in special materials, the big guys near this sea area would definitely come back to eat the bait within ten to twenty minutes!

When he was a captain, when he used to travel with the ship, he had already tried countless times, and there was never a big accident!

So, with great faith, when the rod was set, he sat down and waited, and he began to think about what prize he should ask the witch for if he won. Is it a magic sail? Or a telescope?

"Hey! Barbossa, do you think, this Norrington, will he catch a big fish after all? ”

Jack? When Sparrow saw Norrington's luxury fishing gear and special bait, he said it was impossible not to be nervous! That set of things, at first glance, seemed to be very advanced, and his heart was a little panicked.

"Fish, you should be able to catch them! It's just that I don't know if it's big or not...... Anyway, it's definitely not going to be bigger than what I'm going to catch, and I'm very confident about that! ”

Barbossa looked at Norrington's fishing gear indifferently and pouted disdainfully. He had just looked at the fishing gear of the three men, and then, he now had the confidence that he would win, and as long as the witch did not cheat, he believed that no one would be bigger and heavier than the big fish that Captain Barbossa had brought up!

"Why do you think so? Has anyone been unlucky enough to knock on the door? ”

Jack? After Sparrow heard Barbossa's words, he was shocked again, now it seems that this old guy is not simple, does the other party have any secrets? So, while retorting unhappily, he twisted his waist and walked to the other party's side, trying to find some useful information.

"Uh-huh! Wait a minute, you'll find out! Rest assured, soon! Jack, are you right? Hehehe......."

Captain Barbossa ignored Jack's temptation and teased the monkey on his shoulder, also named Jack, and began to laugh triumphantly!

“……”

Well, we'll see! The great Captain Jack Sparrow believed that fishing should not be too difficult for him.

After thinking suspiciously for a while, Jack Sparrow looked at Brigadier General Norrington who was leisurely waiting for the fish to be baited, and then looked at the confident look of Barsabo behind him, he gritted his teeth, and after thinking about it, he immediately replaced his fishing rod with a bigger hook and a thicker fishing line!

However, he still didn't feel safe in this way, so he secretly moved behind Norrington while everyone else was paying attention to the sea and no one was noticing him.

"That's it! Just look, now, there's a fish on the bait! ”

Norrington saw that the fish drift on the surface of the sea began to twist violently, and the fishing line began to tighten, he was in good spirits, and immediately stood up, grabbed the fishing rod, turned the pulley and slowly put away the fishing line, his experience told him that he must be a big guy!

"Hah! You saw that, right? This is the highest level of fishing! ”

As soon as he got his hands on the fishing rod, Norrington nodded with satisfaction, this is indeed a big dick!

When the line was slowly retracted, the surface of the water began to stir violently, and a group of onlookers began to make a fuss when they saw the straight line and the huge fins that occasionally came out of the water.

They could see that it was indeed a big fish down there!

"Who's going to help?"

After more than ten minutes of wrestling, the exhausted big fish was finally pulled onto the deck by Norrington and the sailors, and after weighing, it was finally determined that it was a large swordfish weighing one hundred and fifty-six pounds!

Sure enough, it's a big guy, it seems, their brigadier has already won? So, the sailors began to cheer loudly.

"Thank you very much!"

Norrington bowed to everyone gracefully, in his opinion, the one hundred and fifty-six pound swordfish was already a sure victory, and he needed a little time to think about it now, what kind of prize should he ask for from Annie the little witch later?

"Wow!"

Anne crouched next to the swordfish, kicked the long, pointy sword-like kiss on the swordfish's mouth with her round scalp shoes, and then sighed a little dejectedly, it seems that she is going to lose this game again, if she can't cheat?

"It's not fun at all!"
