Chapter 43: The Return Voyage
A large pot of fresh fish porridge was eaten cleanly.
Lin Xinhai continued to go back to sleep, and Ye Mo and the others continued to fish for squid......
Now the wind is calm and the waves are calm. Perhaps, this is the prelude to the storm.
After resting for a while, there were more squids that gathered over, and Ye Mo went down for more than three minutes with a rod, and there were seven rocket squids when he got up.
"Oops......" Yang Xun let out a hard cry, lifted the fishing rod, and then grabbed the fishing line and dragged the squid hook up: "One, two...... Five ...... Nine. I have nine rods, and I have made a fortune. ”
The price of rocket squid is high, 1 catty is dozens, and this rod is like a day's salary for many people.
"I'm going to run out of strength in this arm." He Fei also got up the rod, untied the squid, and said.
"Why don't you go back and rest?" Zhou Sheng said with a smile.
"Then play music and dance, today I will not be tired to the point of paralysis, and I will never be laid off." He Fei twisted his waist pole and said.
"I can still fish for four hours. After four o'clock, we have to go back......"
"Yes."
One person caught a few rods, and the squid below was less and less.
Slowly fishing until two o'clock, the wind began to rise.
Ye Mo saw a fishing boat leaving, and put away the rod: "Collect the rod and go back." ”
"No more fishing for a while."
"It's windy, let's go early. There are not many squid now......" Ye Mo said.
The fishing boat is not fixed in one position, but moves with the waves. There are no squid caught at this point, and there are not many squid in the area.
Moreover, some fishing boats have already left, and Ye Mo is also ready to reel in the rod earlier, don't wait until the wind and waves are strong before leaving.
Ye Mo opened the refrigerator and looked at tonight's harvest, full of three baskets of rocket squid, estimated to be twenty or thirty catties more than yesterday: "It's all harvested." ”
He Fei and Yang Xun also hurriedly put away the rod.
Waiting for Zhang Cheng and them to come back, Ye Mo put all the things on the back deck into the cabin, turned off the gyroscopic stability, and started the yacht.
"Did you go ashore?" Meng Jianshan looked at Zhang Cheng and said.
"Ashore." Zhang Chengdao: "When you were seasick in the afternoon, I caught a tuna estimated at seventy or eighty catties. ”
"Cowhide. What tuna? ”
"Dogtooth ......"
"It's worthless, but it's okay."
Zhang Chengcheng was depressed and said, "Only half of the catch." ”
Meng Jianshan's question mark: "Ran away?" ”
"It's not...... Only the upper half of the fish is caught, a head and a small half. The tail let the shark rob ......"
"Hahaha......" Meng Jianshan smiled gloatingly and said, "You haven't filmed it, it's an excellent video material." ”
"Nope."
"Why don't you shoot it......"
Ye Mo drove the fishing boat, made a beautiful big turn, and returned to the ......
The wind came, and so did the waves.
Leaving the reef area, the surge was a little smaller, and Ye Mo switched to cruising speed.
The cruising speed is fuel-efficient, and now it is a tailwind, and it has run to 22 knots.
22 knots is the standard cruising speed, which is the most fuel-efficient speed...... But Ye Mo's fishing boat has been refitted, and now there are seven more people on the boat, if there is no wind and no waves, it will not be able to run 22 knots.
He Fei put the fishing rod in their bags, went to brush their teeth and wash their faces, and went to sleep.
Zhang Cheng and the others smoked a cigarette outside and also went into the cabin.
"You go to sleep, I'll drive." Zhou Sheng said.
"I woke up late today, you go to sleep first, if you can wake up at half past four, then take over my shift."
"I'm going to fall asleep now, how can I wake up after four o'clock."
"Aren't you ......going to wake up at four o'clock this morning?"
"Hehehe...... That's thinking about going into the sea to fish. If you don't sleep, I'll go to sleep. ”
"Go to sleep."
The cabin was quiet, Ye Mo lit another cigarette, took out the Red Bull and opened a can.
Now the sea is dark. The only way to get directions is to rely on a compass and chartplotter......
The sound of the engine of the fishing boat sounded, and Lin Xinhai was snoring in the cabin, faintly, which actually overshadowed the sound of the engine.
Zhou Sheng lay inside for a while, and then walked out: "I'll drop for a day, Master's snoring is louder than the engine." ”
Ye Mo smiled: "Don't drink Red Bull." ”
"I'm going to sleep." Zhou Sheng lay on the bench next to him and said, "It's okay to go to sea this time." ”
"Okay." Ye Mo nodded: "I found that the fuel consumption of this fishing boat is much less than we estimated. ”
Zhou Sheng said 'um' and said: "I haven't run at high rpm this time, and I have always been cruising and low revs." This time, I went back to rest for a while, and then I took the test for my car license and yacht license...... What do you think? ”
"Okay." Ye Mo said: "When you are idle, you can fish in the offshore waters, and also pull Chen Xin and Zhou Lan out to practice, don't take the yacht driver's license test, they will get seasick when they go to sea, then it will be funny." ”
"What do you say Chen Xin and Zhou Lankao are doing with their yacht licenses? The two of us just have driver's licenses......"
"There are many skills, but not pressure. Hurry up and go to sleep, stop talking nonsense. ”
"Can't sleep......"
"I'm going to buy another house and let them live alone when my dad and them come over." Ye Mo said.
"That's what I thought too. Buy another three-bedroom ...... Let Zhou Lan also move out, and she has been floating outside for many years, and she doesn't know how to get along with her family. Zhou Sheng said: "Call your parents to come over, to be honest, I don't know how to arrange them." ”
"When the time comes, it's not easy to find a job these days."
Zhou Sheng couldn't sleep.
Also unable to sleep were Zhang Cheng, He Fei, and Lin Xinhai's snoring was too loud.
"Master, he's snoring too loudly, isn't he sick?" Zhou Sheng said: "I have to call him to go to the hospital." ”
"When he used to be on an ocean-going fishing boat, he snorted loudly."
It's past four o'clock.
Now it should be a level 3 sea state, with waves of 0.5-1.25 meters and waves......
It's still cruising, but now it's only seventeen or eighteen knots. The crosswind is coming and the fishing boat is deviating from course...... This situation can be corrected from time to time.
The dark sky turned white.
Lin Xinhai's snoring finally stopped, and Zhou Sheng went back to the cabin.
Slowly, the sky began to light up.
The wind is stronger, the waves are stronger, the southeast wind, and the waves are coming from the southeast.
There was nothing to say all the way, after seven o'clock, Lin Xinhai woke up, got up lightly, washed up and came to the cabin: "Don't you eat something." ”
"Go back and eat."
The current sea conditions are not good, if a white-headed wave comes over while cooking, the pot can be overturned.
"How far is it?"
Ye Mo looked at the chartplotter and said, "75 nautical miles." ”
Now at full speed, I can run back in more than two hours. Cruising speed, three and a half hours......
The sea conditions are not good, and if you are at full power, it will be very bumpy.
I can only go back slowly. Now the sea conditions are actually good, and they are not as bad as the sea conditions that dominated the other side yesterday afternoon.
