Chapter 306: Seeking Wealth and Danger
Had breakfast.
Chen Yuan went to the bow of the ship to collect the anchor claw, looked at Zhou Sheng, and made an OK gesture.
Zhou Sheng then started the fishing boat and hit the steering wheel......
Back in the cockpit, He Fei and the others had already gone back to sleep. Chen Yuan sat next to Zhou Sheng: "Master, Lao Gao." ”
"Yes."
"In ......"
"We're out." Chen Yuandao.
"See if the swell is big, if it's a level 4 sea state, come back and wait." Lin Xinhai said.
"Okay."
Leaving the lagoon surrounded by small islands, the sea is endless and the waves are visible to the naked eye.
Far from the island, the sea conditions are level 4, and the waves can reach two meters high.
In the face of the rising waves, Dabai's boat was a little too light, moving with the waves.
Occasionally, the waves hit head-on, the hull of the ship floated, and the water overflowed the bow of the ship and entered the deck......
The current sea state should be level four or five.
Zhou Sheng turned on the three-engine, three-engine economic cruise. Then turn on the auxiliary radar and watch for possible waves.
As the saying goes, big winds and big waves make big fish.
Seven nautical miles away from the island, Chen Yuan saw more than a dozen schools of tuna swimming on the vertical fish scout...... The fan-shaped picture of the fish probe on the bow of the boat, and more fish were detected.
"Those are all tuna?" Zhou Sheng looked at Chen Yuan.
"There's tuna down there, and it's supposed to be bonito above." Now the swells are big, and the bonito is mostly at a depth of more than 20 meters. Deeper, it should be tuna......
Chen Yuan hurriedly turned on the wireless phone, and couldn't help but be a little excited: "Master, get ready to fish, we seem to have found a large school of tuna." ”
"Let's go." Gao He roared.
"...... immediately" Lin Xinhai also instantly lifted his spirits.
Chen Yuan took the driver's seat and ran nearby for a few minutes, and tuna appeared from time to time in the vertical fish scouting picture: "It's confirmed, it's tuna, and there are a lot of them." It is located mainly in the southern part of the island, about 7 nautical miles. ”
"What's the density?"
"That's a lot. We're going to Niku Island now...... A brief observation shows that tuna is mainly concentrated in the southern part of the submarine mountain range between the islands of Beru and Niku. If there is tuna in the entire seamount, it is hair. ”
At the southern tip of the Gilbert Islands is an undersea mountain that links Tabit Atoll, Beru and Niku Islands.
There is a strong wind at the latest, and if the tuna gathers here because of the strong wind, then the number of tuna in this area is very impressive.
"The current open sea should be a fourth-class or fifth-class sea state, so pay attention to safety when putting fish hooks." Chen Yuan said.
"How many meters high are the waves?"
"The maximum surge is estimated to be 4 meters."
"In this sea condition, it's a bit of a test of skill to release a fishing hook." Takaga said.
"Have everyone put on life jackets." Lin Xinhai said.
"Yes." Takaga said.
Chen Yuan and them along the seamount, where the largest surge, about four meters. Occasionally, a side wave came over, and the big white hull appeared to tilt greatly, which was quite scary......
Every time the side wave came, Chen Yuan's heart was the same.
Another big side wave, slapping on Dabai's side. The white hull of the ship is estimated to have tilted at an angle greater than forty degrees.
He Fei and Yang Xun lay down not long ago, they couldn't stand it in the cabin, stretched out the boat and swayed, and walked out.
"What's going on?" Yang Xun was worried, looked at the tumbling waves outside, and asked.
"There's tuna, and there's a lot of it." Chen Yuan said: "Don't worry, there is no danger." ”
Seeing a wave coming, He Fei and the others hurriedly grabbed the handrail, and the hull of the boat tilted greatly, and it took a while to return to the right.
Zhou Sheng smiled and looked at He Fei and them: "Stimulate." ”
"It's exciting, it's exciting."
It's not just exciting, it's terrifying. It's a feeling that is even more scary than riding a roller coaster.
Chen Yuan took out a cigarette and lit one: "Today can only be regarded as a small scene." If it is in the North Pacific, the sea conditions of level 4 and 5 are not to mention that they occur every day, and they are often encountered. ”
Zhou Sheng also clicked on one and said, "Today is just a small scene...... Before the words were finished, the radar issued an early warning.
Chen Yuan glanced at the radar map, and hurriedly pushed the throttle lever, Dabai's power response was very fast, and the speed was raised and he quickly ran out of the warning area, and after a while, Chen Yuan looked back, and there was a surge like a mountain bag on the sea, with a height of four or five meters.
"I'm Nima...... How did there be a grave wave? Zhou Sheng hurriedly lit the cigarette and took a deep breath, suppressing the shock.
"What's a grave wave?" Yang asked.
"The wave that was like a small mountain bag just now is called the grave wave."
"Grave waves are dangerous?" He Fei asked.
Chen Yuan said 'um', thought for a while, and said, "You have to look at it specifically." If it hits the side of the ship, it is very dangerous. However, if the bow of the ship meets the grave waves, there is no danger. Chen Yuan turned on the radio as he spoke, shouting, "Master, Lao Gao." ”
"In ......"
"There were grave waves in the open sea, which were nearly 5 meters high and tens of meters wide. Be safe when you put the hooks......"
"Grave waves?" Gao He was puzzled.
"Bulging waves." Chen Yuan said.
"A bulge of about 5 meters?"
Chen Yuan let out a 'hmm' and said, "When you get off the hook, pay attention to the wave radar echo image, pay attention to safety, and don't let the grave waves hit the hull of the boat." ”
"Okay."
The current surge comes from the north, while the undersea seamount is from east to west......
Chen Yuan's fishing boat encountered a bulging surge and hit the side, and the problem was not big. The fishing boat is light and has a sturdy structure.
But if the bulging surge hits the side of the fishing boat, the bulging surge at a height of four or five meters carries enough energy to overturn the fishing boat.
However, after all, there are only four or five sea conditions, and there are hidden risks in them, but as long as you pay a little attention, there is no problem.
For the captain of the ship, who has many years of experience in ocean fishing, the sea conditions are several times worse than this, or even more than ten times worse, and they have experienced a lot.
Lin Xinhai drove the Big Fish and had already run out.
The sea conditions outside are not good, but if you wait until the sea calms down, maybe all the tuna here will run away.
5 nautical miles away from the island, Lin Xinhai left the cockpit and called Luo Laosi up: "Get up quickly." ”
"What for?"
Luo Laosi slept very late yesterday. He has been on the night shift and now can't sleep at night. Last night, I guessed it was past three o'clock before I fell asleep.
"There's a school of tuna, hurry up. Today's sea conditions are not good, with four or five sea conditions and strong swells. You go and watch the hook, I'm going to watch from the wheelhouse. Lin Xinhai said cautiously: "Cheer up." ”
Luo Laosi rubbed his face vigorously: "Okay, I'll look at the fish hook." Put one rope or two this time? ”
"One rope ......" Lin Xinhai was speechless: "But yesterday's long rope was cut, and now there are two ropes, one is 75,000 meters, and one is 110,000 meters." Put the long rope first. ”
"Okay...... All tuna hooks, or? ”
"All tuna hooks."
After Lin Xinhai explained the matter, he pushed Luo Laosi over to wash his face, and hurried back to the cab.
