Chapter 763: Ba Shi
The sky is clear and the breeze is blowing.
In front of the white sand beach, a lonely boat floats quietly on the blue waves, swaying slightly along the waves, leaving dark water marks on both sides of the hull.
The cheers on the shore were loud and loud, like a grand festival feast on the island. [Awesome!] [Society, my brother, build a boat in five days]
[Who else!]
[Yao Jun: One day, I'm going to see a full-scale model appear on the club's shelves!] [I'm sorry, I bought it out this time!]
Everyone witnessed how the small boat in front of them was forged by iron and fire, from a 20-meter-high palm tree to the shape of today's boat.
I have never seen this kind of operation in my daily life, and for most tourists on the island, it is an unprecedented novelty.
Not only that, with the arrival of Bi Fang, there seem to be a few more tourists on the island?
Phils, the manager of the adventure resort, and Haarsley, the driver who specializes in taking tourists around Easter Island, have arguably the most say in this.
It's mid-April, and it's been more than half a month since the most visited tourist season, and the number of guests staying at the hotel should be getting smaller and smaller.
Fils checked the occupancy records in the past two days and found that the occupancy rate of the resort has increased instead of decreasing! The most important thing is that these people have all increased in the last two days.
I asked the driver, Haarsley, and found that it was true, April was supposed to be a day when the workload was dropping, but he didn't feel it, but there were still a large number of tourists every day for him to take around the island.
Looking at the surrounding hotels, although the rise is not as obvious as that of the adventure resort, it has also stopped the downward trend, and there is a great sense of another wave of anti-youth.
The reason behind such abnormal behavior is why Fils is clear in his heart, and he feels more and more that the boss's decision is wonderful.
It cost tens of thousands of dollars to transplant the two trees at the door, except that the façade is better-looking, what is the use, and now it seems that he is still short-sighted.
How do you say Huaxia's words, Phoenix, Wutong, what will you come.
Phils, who often deals with tourists from all over the world and knows a little bit about the cultures of major countries, feels that his boss is really wise.
Flattered. On the beach.
Bi Fang rolled up his trouser legs barefoot, and pushed the canoe into the seawater, and the slightly cool water submerged to his thighs.
The water is a little deeper, and the canoe is still floating steadily on the sea, without tilting, without leakage, exactly like a normal boat, except that it has been roasted by the fire and is a little dark, not so beautiful.
After confirming that it was almost there, Bi Fang was ready to board the ship.
Canoes come in a variety of forms, elongated, wide, narrow and fat, depending entirely on the needs and the trees.
Some racing boats have their hulls built like a long shuttle for extreme speed, requiring extreme skill to maintain balance and move at high speeds.
But not all canoes are like this, and it is impossible for Bi Fang to make his boat like that, and it is entirely for himself to cross the next month.
If a person can maintain a certain amount of waist and abdomen strength for a month in a row, so that the hull can maintain balance, then the human attributes of this person may need to be marked with a question mark.
If Bi Fang's is a normal boat that can move quickly and provide a resting point, it can move at high speed during the day, lie down and sleep at night, and there is no need to worry about small storms.
It is precisely because of this that Bi Fang needs to choose a palm tree that is large enough, the hull is wide enough not to roll over easily, and it can also provide enough safety and buoyancy.
Although it has not been further polished, it looks like a normal boat.
Nearly four meters long and more than half a meter wide, in order to sail well at sea and avoid water ingress and rollover, the two ends of the hull are raised high, and in order to prevent cracking, both bows are solid wood, and there is no hollowing, which can effectively prevent the bow from being too thin and causing cracking.
Judging from the shape alone, it even looks like a miniature Viking ship, which is beautiful and practical at the same time.
If it is normal, a palm tree can be split in half to make two canoes, but the boat will be relatively flat and cannot cope well with the wind and waves.
In order to achieve such a shape today, Bi Fang can only work at a high cost of one by one, but fortunately, the results are gratifying.
The advantage of a canoe is that it is a one-piece boat and has an extremely strong structure.
"The most convenient launching point for the ocean boat can be selected at the water pier, and before entering the boat, be sure to check all the equipment."
"First of all, check that the life jacket is properly worn, and if you use a waterproof skirt, you can roll it up first so that you don't sit on the skirt when you enter the cabin and keep the oars within reach."
"Always remember that when you need to add the weight of a person to the boat, you must add it to the center line of the boat, otherwise it is easy to capsize."
"First of all, press the extension of the cockpit rail, and the position of the foot should also be placed near the cockpit centerline. Then lift your body, taking care to slowly add weight to your hands, and put your body into the cockpit. The order of exit is reversed. If you use a waterproof skirt, it is most convenient to connect from back to front, and both sides are used at the same time."
"If you don't have a waterfront pier, you can find other suitable launching points, so I chose a smooth, no big waves of sand, the main purpose is to have a gentle flow and a suitable depth. Find an object to lean on, like a rock on the shore."
With the current quality of the hull, Bi Fang can completely ignore these skills, and there is no problem to get on the ship directly, and the buoyancy of the hull is enough to support some non-standard operations.
It's just that Bi Fang hasn't forgotten that he is still live broadcasting.
Since the first live broadcast, Bi Fang has always kept in mind his character and has never changed.
Bi Fang stepped on the sand with both feet, confined the boat to his side, and then put the improvised oar on the edge of the boat, and the other end rested on the shore stone, pressed the back extension of the hull with one hand, buckled the oar shaft with his thumb, pressed the shore stone with the other hand, and stuck the oar end on the stone, so that there was a very stable support.
"Be careful not to put too much pressure on the paddle, otherwise it will be easy to break."
Then Bi Fangxu sat on the edge of the cockpit, his feet still bearing the main weight.
With Bi Fang's now strengthened sense of balance, it is no problem to maintain such a position for a long time in the fluctuating water, and it can even be said that it is somewhat easy.
Bi Fang bears the weight with one foot and the hand pressed on the shore stone, slowly lifts the other foot, puts it inside the boat, and then puts the whole body in, and moderately uses the strength on the shore stone to maintain balance before sitting down completely.
"It may be difficult to balance when you get on the boat for the first time, but if you have a friend around, you can have a friend fix the hull and make it easier to get into the boat."
After waiting inside, Bi Fang lay directly in the hull.
The width of 70 cm can better card the owner's body, and leave some room to turn over, not too narrow, and the experience is quite good.
Bashi.
