Chapter 163: A Sudden Storm at Sea
Although there are no flowers and applause here, and it is far away from home and relatives, but at this moment, in this moment of harvest, everyone is happy.
The celebration lasted until more than ten o'clock in the evening, and under everyone's continuous toasting, Li Xiaofeng was also a little drunk.
Now if there is anyone on the fishing boat who everyone admires the most, it is undoubtedly him, the captain who has repeatedly led everyone to make a fortune.
The next morning, when Li Xiaofeng got up, it was already past eight o'clock.
This is also the most comfortable time for Li Xiaofeng to sleep in the past few days of going to sea, and he slept directly until dawn.
After getting up, Li Xiaofeng could clearly feel that the crew had a lot more smiles on their faces, as if the joy of last night had swept away everyone's previous negative emotions.
Seeing the expressions on everyone's faces, Li Xiaofeng also had an understanding.
After all, he, the captain, is also a halfway monk.
So to be honest, there are a lot of things he doesn't quite understand.
At present, he can only learn by doing, so he is still a long way from becoming a qualified captain.
Then they were busy on the high seas for three days in a row, and although they did not catch any particularly valuable fish during these three days, the harvest was not bad.
After all, with Li Xiaofeng's humanoid cheat, it is impossible to completely air force.
In three days, more than 100,000 catties of hairtail fish were caught, and more than 100,000 catties of skinned fish, Majiao, Qingzhan, Huang Zhan, etc. were also caught.
Today, however, the atmosphere in the cockpit is solemn.
Li Xiaofeng, Li Yonglin, Li Yongmin and Zhang Jianjun gathered in the cockpit with solemn faces.
Looking at the faces of the four people, it is definitely not a good thing.
It is also true that they had received a bad news from the radio not long ago, that a storm would soon turn into a storm, and it was about to hit the sea where they were.
In fact, a few hours ago, they received the news that a storm was coming.
This is because none of them have taken this matter to heart, after all, fishing at sea, especially in this kind of open sea, it is very common to encounter such stormy weather.
It's just that I just received news that the storm has intensified into a storm now, and it seems that it will continue to increase.
This undoubtedly caught a few people off guard!
The storm turns into a storm, which means that the wind in the center of the storm will generally reach 7~9.
Although this is not more than the maximum wind resistance that their fishing boats are designed for, they are afraid that the wind will continue to increase in this sea!
If it reaches level 11 or 12 by then, then their fishing boat is not small, but under such a big storm, there will be a danger of capsizing.
Due to their lack of attention, now the storm can be said to be not far from them. Now it is too late to completely evacuate, which is also caused by the fact that several people do not have the experience of leading large fishing boats to operate in the open sea.
If you are an experienced captain, you would never put your fishing boat in such a dangerous situation just to catch a net of fish.
So at this moment, the faces of the four people in the cabin are not very good. But now is not the time to regret it, the most important thing now is what to do next.
Of course, this may also be that they think too seriously, with their ship, as long as they avoid the center of the storm, although the danger is there, but it is not very great.
It's just that although three of the current cabins are old fishermen, none of them have the experience of fighting storms on this kind of large fishing boat, and all four of them belong to the rookie level at this point.
Li Yonglin said with a grim face: "We must prepare for the worst!"
The other three also nodded in agreement with a serious face.
Li Yongmin took over and said: "Before the storm arrives, there are a lot of things on our ship, and they must be reinforced!" ”
The other three nodded in agreement.
In this way, after some discussion among several people, three decisions were finally made:
First, immediately inform all crew members that they must wear life jackets;
second, Li Yonglin and the three of them led people to reinforce all the things that needed to be reinforced on the ship;
Third, Li Xiaofeng drove the boat and continued to drive at full speed in the direction away from the storm.
This is also where the three of them can think of for the time being.
After the work was assigned, the four of them immediately went their separate ways.
By the time the crew had finished reinforcing everything on the deck, the sky at sea began to change.
Li Xiaofeng hurriedly asked them all to return to the cabin to stay.
By this time the sky was getting darker and darker on the sea, the wind was getting stronger, and a light rain was starting to fall.
A scene of mountain rain coming and the wind filling the building.
The three of Li Yonglin, who were busy, all gathered in the cockpit again.
Li Xiaofeng drove the boat at full speed, while the other three people stared at the sea and listened attentively to the information about the storm on the radio.
The storm came quickly, and after a while, the rain on the sea began to fall heavier and heavier, and it had turned into a downpour!
Especially as the wind gets stronger, the waves on the sea surface get higher and higher.
The wind mixed with the waves began to beat against the hull of the boat, and the fishing boat swayed and moved forward.
And as the waves get bigger, so does the swing of the fishing boats.
At this time, looking outside, the sky was already covered with thick dark clouds, and the sea seemed to have turned into night all of a sudden, and Li Xiaofeng hurriedly turned on the lights on the fishing boat.
Although they were already driving away from the center of the storm at full speed, it was clear that they were not completely out of the way.
Soon the height of the wind and waves on the sea was already higher than the side of their ship, and at once it slapped directly on their deck, making a loud noise.
There were even more and more huge waves coming towards them even directly into their cockpits.
At this moment, the fishing boat is a fallen leaf in the rough sea, as if it is in danger of capsizing at any time.
The crew in the cabin are now shivering, praying that the fishing boat will leave the storm sooner.
Li Xiaofeng's face was grim at this time, and he was concentrating on driving the fishing boat at full speed. Not only did he have to drive the boat, but he also had to keep an eye on the map to prevent any other danger in such a bad sight situation.
Li Yonglin's hearts were also hanging, and now they could only pray that the fishing boat would leave the storm area as soon as possible.
As the wind and waves on the sea became stronger and stronger, the fishing boats continued to rise and fall with the waves, sometimes as if they were thrown into the sky with the crest of the waves, and then as if they were about to sink into the sea with the trough.
This made many crew members in the cabin who usually do not get seasick begin to get seasick.
Fortunately, this state of affairs did not last long, and as their fishing boat moved farther and farther away from the center of the storm, the wind and waves around them gradually began to decrease.
Seeing this situation, several people put their hearts in their stomachs.
The fishing boat sailed forward for more than forty minutes before they finally came out of the storm completely, and several people looked back at the storm behind them, and couldn't help but feel a wave of fear.
