Chapter 153: Rendezvous with the Lixia
"Hey, the happy gongs and drums beat out the joy of the year, the beautiful dance sends the joy of the day, the oil paint of the sun paints today's day red, and the flowers of life are our smiles......
Zhou Sheng's five tones were incomplete, and he howled along with the music, and Chen Yuan's scalp was numb when he heard it.
He Fei and Yang Xun were also singing along, and they were very happy.
Chen Yuan went to the bow of the ship to blow the wind.
The fishing boat line is close to Hainan Island, and after running for a long time, you can already see the land.
However, it was not until it was dark, after eleven o'clock, that I came to the haven of Hainan. Anchor, cook......
At night.
Chen Yuan and Zhou Sheng slept on the lower floor, one holding a mobile phone, chatting on WeChat.
"When the Far Star is delivered, can you take Shin Shin to sea together?" Zhou Sheng asked.
"I can't." Chen Yuan turned his head: "It takes more than ten days to go to sea, or even a month or two, how can a girl endure this suffering."
"Shin Shin said she wanted to go to sea."
"Don't shout so numbly, I get goosebumps when I hear it."
"You don't also call it that, Rou Ma, you still say me."
The two chatted for a while, and then chatted about WeChat.
When he woke up after seven o'clock the next morning, Zhou Sheng sent Chen Yuan and them to the shore, and he drove the fishing boat to the gas station to refuel. new
There is a gas station in the marina that specializes in refueling yachts, and the price of oil in Hainan is expensive, and the diesel used for yachts is more than eight yuan per liter.
Chen Yuan, He Fei and Yang Xun went to the nearby market to buy vegetables and various supplies.
After returning, Zhou Sheng had already filled up the fishing boat.
Let's go.
"Cruise speed?" Zhou Sheng asked.
"Where's the Lixia?"
"Ahead of us." Zhou Sheng enlarged the chartplotter and pointed out the approximate location of the Lixia to Chen Yuan.
South-east, about 75 nautical miles.
"The Lixia is heading for the waters between Xisha and Zhongsha." Zhou Sheng said, "Let's go to Xisha first, let's stop by and have a look, if there are no fish, go directly to Zhongsha."
Chen Yuan nodded: "The cruising speed is fine, fuel saving."
The speed of less than 20 knots is about 35 kilometers per hour.
It's not fast, but at sea, it's not slow.
The Shengyuan swayed and could no longer see the South China Sea Island.
The weather here, the sea breeze is blowing, but the heat is not hot, but the ultraviolet rays are too strong, and the sun is very hot.
Chen Yuan took out a few bottles of cold beer from the refrigerator, one bottle per person.
"The weather is good this time, with blue skies and white clouds, and the surge is not big." Yang Xun took a folding recliner and came out and sat next to Chen Yuan on the back deck.
"In the season of change of cold and warm, the wind and clouds at sea are prone to sudden changes." Chen Yuandao.
Zhou Sheng sat on the bridge on the back deck and turned his head to look at Chen Yuan: "Don't be a crow's mouth. Looking at the weather, at least the next few days should be comfortable."
Chen Yuan took a big sip of beer, got up and took a sunscreen spray, and sprayed some on his body: "Do you want it?"
"I want to." Zhou Sheng shouted.
"Let's have some too." He Fei said with a smile.
"As long as it's not windy and rough, it's still very comfortable to come out in a fishing boat." Yang Xun took out a cigarette and handed one to Chen Yuan.
The continental shelf has been opened, and the deep blue of the sea is terrifying.
In particular, after the fishing boat passes by, it leaves a long trajectory on the surface of the sea, and the contrast of colors shows the horror of the deep sea.
However, the water here is not particularly scary.
To enter the open sea, a depth of several thousand meters, at a glance there is no boundary, and then the color of the sea water at a depth of several kilometers. Even for a person like Chen Yuan, who has been floating on the sea all year round, every time he looks at the sea, fear rises in his heart.
"There's fish up ahead." Zhou Sheng suddenly shouted.
Chen Yuan hurriedly looked over, as if it was a group of dolphins.
"Catch up and see."
Zhou Sheng pushed the throttle lever and got closer, sure enough
It is a group of dolphins playing in the water.
"Do you want to chase these dolphins?" Zhou Sheng asked.
"Dolphins don't run far, there's no point in chasing dolphins."
"Then continue to the Paracels."
Chen Yuan let out a "hmm".
Chasing fish in the sea can be very thrilling at times. But more often than not, it's a boring wait......
It's close to Xisha.
Chen Yuan released the drone and let the drone fly in the sky, he was the remote sensing display.
"Did you find any fish?" Lin Xinmin's voice came from the radio station.
This time, Lin Xinmin also became a shareholder, bearing 10 percent of the expenses and taking 5 percent of the shares. These are calculated by him and Lin Xinhai alone.
Chen Yuan and Zhou Sheng still take 60 percent.
But this time, Zhou Sheng took the initiative to give up his share.
Chen Yuan takes 35 percent and also bears 35 percent of the expenses.
Zhou Sheng is only 25 percent.
The last time he went to sea, Zhou Sheng also saw Chen Yuan's ability, and he saw the birds in the sky from a distance that he didn't know how far.
Zhou Sheng can't look for fish, that is, when he sinks to the bottom of the purse seine net, he can make a effort. However, the location of the sinking purse seine should also be chosen......
Chen Yuan took 35 percent, which was proposed by Zhou Sheng.
Chen Yuan's value has been reflected in the ocean-going fleet before. Chen Yuan's salary is much higher than Zhou Sheng's.
"Nope." Zhou Sheng said, "Have you arrived at the designated location?"
"It's coming."
"If there are no fish, we can rendezvous around five o'clock in the afternoon."
The drone flew in the sky for half an hour, and Chen Yuan took it back and took off the battery to charge it. And to change a set of batteries for the drone......
Wait for the fishing boat to run farther away before releasing the drone.
For almost a whole day, Chen Yuan found two schools of fish.
One of the schools of fish was not bad, and if the Lixia was nearby, it could have been netted. However, the Lixia is still far away, and when the Lixia comes over, it will not be so cost-effective.
Judging from the fish scouting screen of the fishing boat, it should be a small group of mackerel. It can only be said that you can put the net and will not lose money, but you can't make too much money.
In the evening, Chen Yuan came to the Lixia.
Chen Yuan got on the Lixia and first went to the cockpit to see the current map of the South China Sea. The cabin is equipped to receive satellite signals, and in the South China Sea or other fishing grounds, there is usually a special WeChat to monitor the ocean currents in the sea area.
If you want to find fish, the current map from the satellite has a certain reference value.
Chen Yuan also has a remote sensing fish scout. The sensor is carried by the drone and can fly very high.
With the images from the satellite and the assistance of drones, it is possible to find the eddies of the convergence of ocean currents. The area where the eddy is located is a circulating convection area, and the water flows significantly in this area, attracting a large number of fish.
However, the picture from the satellite also has a certain reference value.
When it comes to the specific operation link, it is still necessary for someone to find it. Just look at ocean currents, which can increase the chances of finding big fish.
"How about finding the fish?" Lin Xinmin said.
"There are still a lot of small schools of fish, and we found two schools of fish on the way here." Chen Yuan said: "The big fish are not so easy to find, it depends on luck."
This time, Lin Xinmin also invested money and was nervous.
"Why don't you say anything when you find a school of fish, I'll just drive over."
Chen Yuan talked about the situation of the two schools of fish, if the fishing boat was on the way, it could be rounded up, but there was no need to run over.
"On the way here, we saw several fishing boats, all of which seemed to be going to Xisha and Zhongsha. We will set off directly to Nansha tomorrow, and if we see fish on the way, we will catch them by the way."
"Okay."
The Shinkai hasn't come out of the house yet, and now if you find a school of big fish, or a school of tuna, it's not easy to do it.
In Chen Yuan's plan, the next few days will be slow
Wandering leisurely, waiting for the Shinkai to come, then talk about anything else.
