Chapter 300: Beautiful Xisha
In the end, they were busy until more than one o'clock in the morning, and Li Xiaofeng and the others transferred all the fish on the boat to the "Harvest Ship", and then Li Yonglin and the others didn't care about resting, so they drove the fishing boat directly and started to return like an arrow.
Seeing the last lights on the "Harvest" fishing boat disappear into the night, Li Xiaofeng said to Han Minghua and a few people next to him: "We still have a long journey ahead, so we are not in a hurry at this time, we will not leave tonight, we will rest here until dawn, and then we will set off!" ”
Han Minghua and the three of them agreed to come down, and then began to arrange for the crew to rest.
At half past eight in the morning, Li Xiaofeng was awakened by the alarm clock.
After getting up, washing, and eating breakfast, the fishing boat began to lift anchor and then continued towards the Paracel Islands.
The Xisha Islands have a land area of only 10 square kilometers, but they are distributed over more than 500,000 square kilometers of water, and are one of the four major islands in the South China Sea, mainly composed of Yongle Islands and Xuande Islands.
Li Xiaofeng did not plan to anchor in Xisha Islands, but planned to sail southeast after crossing Xidu Beach, passing through the Spratly Islands and following the international shipping lanes to Singapore, where they would resupply.
Before arriving in Xisha, Li Xiaofeng and the others had a total of two nets on the way, and the harvest was okay.
On the first net, I encountered a large school of bonito, and there were more than 20 tons of bonito, but the only pity is that this fish is not very valuable.
The second net was harvested with more than a dozen tons of goldenrod. Threadfish, also known as redwoods or silver carp, is a warm-water demersal fish that inhabits mainly muddy and sandy seas.
The body length of the golden thread fish is generally 19-30 cm, its body shape is oval, and there are 5~6 yellow longitudinal bands on the side of the body, especially the three golden yellow longitudinal bandwidths below the side line and the color is bright, just like the golden thread, so it is called the golden thread fish.
It is one of the most important economic fish species in the South China Sea. It is only in recent years that due to overfishing and habitat destruction, China's goldenrod resources have declined significantly.
Therefore, Li Xiaofeng and they can catch more than ten tons of goldenrod in one net, which is relatively rare.
It's a pity that the price of goldenrod as an economic fish species is also very general, and it is usually only ten or twenty yuan a pound in the market, but now the price has risen a lot during the Chinese New Year, and it can be sold for more than 30 yuan a catty.
So this time of year is really a golden time for fishermen, all kinds of fish are not only easy to sell but also high prices, as long as you have the ability to catch fish, you don't have to worry about selling.
At about 3 o'clock in the afternoon, they passed through the towering North Reef Lighthouse, and could clearly see that the words "Azimuth Point of China's Territorial Sea Base Point" were still written on the lighthouse, and their arrival here also marked their arrival in Xisha.
At this time, I don't know who shouted, "Xisha has arrived!" ”
Then the crew rushed to the deck to enjoy the beautiful scenery of the Xisha Sea. The beautiful scenery of Xisha did not live up to everyone's expectations, and the crew on the deck were all dumbfounded.
The blue sky is free of impurities, the crystal clear glass sea, the colorful corals on the bottom and schools of colorful fish.
The small islands in the distance float on the blue sea like jewels, and under the sunlight, they exude their own different styles.
The most fascinating thing about Xisha is, of course, its water, which is almost unpolluted, with visibility reaching a depth of more than 60 meters, and huge fishing boats driving on the transparent water, which really seems to be sailing in the sky.
At this time, in Li Xiaofeng's eyes, every glance is a beautiful picture, every place is a picture scroll, and all these beautiful scenery together constitute a beautiful picture!
"Xisha returns without looking at the sea, and Ma Dai is a passerby from now on!"
No wonder people have such a saying, although Li Xiaofeng has not been to the Maldives, Hawaii and other tourist destinations, but he does not think that there will be more beautiful than this Xisha!
And what is even more rare is the beautiful scenery here, which is currently only open to Chinese, and foreigners have no way to come and enjoy the beauty of Xisha even if they spend more money.
And even if it is a domestic tourist, not everyone can come, you must have no previous criminal record, and you must be between the ages of 12 and 60.
At present, only three small islands are open to tourists, namely Quanfu Island, Yagong Island and Yinyu Island, and the other islands are not allowed to land due to military control issues.
"Brother Feng, can we anchor here overnight?" At this time, Li Xiaoliang looked at him with blank eyes and asked, although he knew that Li Xiaofeng had no plans to stay here, but the scenery here was too beautiful, so he still wanted to try.
When Li Xiaoliang asked this sentence, it also represented the thoughts of most of the crew, so at this time, the other crew members on the deck couldn't help but look at him expectantly.
Although Li Xiaofeng had no plans to stay here before, now looking at the expectant eyes of the crew, coupled with the fact that he was thinking that he would be out of the border not long ago, he finally nodded.
Seeing the captain nodding his head and agreeing to anchor in Xisha for one night, all the crew on deck immediately burst into cheers.
"Long live the Captain!"
"I'm going to fill my phone with pictures of Xisha!"
……
Li Xiaofeng discussed it with several people, and finally decided to moor the fishing boat near an uninhabited desert island.
It has a long coastline, white sand beaches and crystal clear waters, but due to the depth of the water, their fishing boats can't get directly to the island.
Later, Li Xiaofeng directly announced that he would give everyone a half-day vacation, and those who wanted to land on the island could go directly by rubber boat; If you want to dive in Xisha, you can also go diving in a team, anyway, you can see at a glance whether there is danger in such clear water; If you want to fish, there is no problem, even if you can't fish, you don't have to worry about not being able to catch fish in Xisha......
After arranging the things on the boat, Li Xiaofeng, Li Xiaoliang and Han Minghua boarded the desert island in a rubber boat, while Hu Dequan chose to stay on the fishing boat to fish.
It is said to be a small island, but in fact, most of it is sunk underwater, and only a sandy beach in the middle is exposed, but because the water here is very clear, even under the surface of the sea, it is clearly visible.
After coming to the island, Li Xiaofeng directly took off his shoes and held them in his hands, stepped on the soft sand with his bare feet, felt the softness of the beach, blew the gentle sea breeze, and enjoyed the picturesque beauty.
