Chapter 340: To Funafuti
The next day.
Early in the morning, Zhou Sheng and Chen Xin followed Ruby and them to the airport and flew to the country......
Chen Yuan and the others rented a car and went to Suva.
At the dock in Suva, Uncle Xiao Xi was waiting for them in a speedboat.
"Uncle." Yan Xiaoxi shouted and trotted over.
"Hey." Xu Xing agreed with a smile.
Chen Yuan gave the driver money and walked over briskly with his luggage.
Lin Xinhai: They don't know what they're doing, and they haven't set off yet.
Today is August 12th.
Coming to Lelevia again, Chen Yuan still sighed at the magic of creation.
The water is crystal clear, but it presents a colorful vision. Beautiful lagoon......
The fleet had not yet set off, and Chen Yuan was not in a hurry, and Chen Yuan stayed here for two days under the help of Uncle Xiaoxi, and then drove the boat to Suva, refueled, refueled, refueled, purchased food, and then went to go through the departure procedures.
Back on the boat, Chen Yuan started the engine, and the fishing boat slowly left the dock, and then accelerated, away from the port.
The large white twin engines have a range of 27 knots......
That's 50 kilometers per hour, which isn't fast, but it's not slow.
Away from the island, Yan Xiaoxi went into the cabin, changed into a bikini that he didn't know when he bought, and walked out with a little shyness on his face.
Long black hair, delicate to the perfect face and facial features.
Yan Xiaoxi seems to have gained some weight during this time, with a fleshy feeling on her body, snow-white and full, probably the scale of C. Flat abdomen, a pair of slender legs......
Seeing Chen Yuan's eyes straight, Yan Xiaoxi raised his head slightly, and his gaze slanted: "It's not good-looking." ”
"Beautiful."
Chen Yuan took Yan Xiaoxi's hand and hugged him.
The afternoon sun is high, the sea is calm, and the water antenna can be very clear.
Yan Xiaoxi was in Chen Yuan's arms, turned around, the two faced each other, Chen Yuan's body moved slightly, and the satellite phone rang inappropriately.
Yan Xiaoxi's face turned red, and she gasped: "Phone." ”
Chen Yuan picked up the phone, a little annoyed: "Hey." ”
"You've left Fiji?" Lin Xinhai's call.
"It's not out of Fiji's waters yet." Chen Yuan stopped his movements and said, "Have you set off?" ”
"Not yet." Lin Xinhai said: "The dry rope will be sent over tomorrow, and when the dry rope is rolled, we will set off." ”
Yan Xiaoxi was in Chen Yuan's arms, hugging Chen Yuan's neck tightly, and when she heard Lin Xinhai's voice on the phone, she didn't dare to move, and her heart was pounding wildly.
"Zhao Bo, Xu San's fishing boat hasn't been finished yet?" Chen Yuan didn't dare to move.
"Nope. The shipyard is working overtime, and it is estimated that it will take about ten days. You are at sea, pay attention to safety, nothing else. ”
"Okay, nothing's the matter, I'm hanging."
"Nothing."
Chen Yuan hung up the phone and continued.
"Hung up?" Yan Xiaoxi bit her lip lightly and asked.
"Hung up." Chen Yuan said as he turned on the three engines, pushed the throttle lever, and accelerated......
The three engines are at full power, and the white is on the sea, and the waves are flying.
For a long, long time, the speed of the fishing boat slowed down.
Chen Yuan switched back to twin-engine cruising......
Yan Xiaoxi went back to take a shower, changed into a black skirt, and came out with a pillow.
"I'll teach you how to sail." Chen Yuan said.
Yan Xiaoxi grimaced, put the pillow on the sofa, and lay down: "I'll watch for a while." ”
Just now, most of the time Yan Xiaoxi was moving. Chen Yuan passively ......
Maybe he was tired, Yan Xiaoxi lay down for a while, and then fell asleep.
Chen Yuan switched to manual driving to make the fishing boat as smooth as possible. Today, the sea conditions are good, the sun is big, and Chen Yuan is also a little sleepy. But now it is not particularly far from the land, Chen Yuan drank a can of Red Bull, looked at Yan Xiaoxi, and yawned.
Before you know it, it's evening.
Fishing boats also come to the north of the big island, and the nearest island is forty or fifty kilometers away.
Chen Yuan watched the time stop the boat, turned on the stabilizer, and started cooking.
Yan Xiaoxi finally woke up and got up to help cook.
In the evening, a tomato egg soup, a small stir-fried meat.
The sun was about to set, Yan Xiaoxi leaned on the door frame, watching the sunset, in a daze.
"Hurry up and eat." Chen Yuan hugged her from behind.
"What a beautiful sunset."
At the end of the sky, there were white clouds, and the afterglow of the setting sun dyed these clouds red.
"Eat and watch." Chen Yuandao.
"Hmm."
While eating, if you don't pay attention, the sun sets below sea level. The brilliant fiery clouds also slowly dimmed......
Chen Yuan packed up the dishes and chopsticks, and went to the bow of the boat with the mat: "Lie down for a while, it's dark, and then set off." ”
In the equatorial sea, after the sun sets, it gets dark very quickly.
I can't lie down for long.
Yan Xiaoxi leaned into Chen Yuan's arms and asked, "Dabai has an automatic driving function, right?" ”
"Yes." Chen Yuan said: "But at night, I still have to watch from the cabin." ”
It's dark, and the night breeze is blowing, bringing a little coolness.
Chen Yuan smiled at the fragrant smell on Yan Xiaoxi's body, and his heart was extremely calm.
Yan Xiaoxi leaned into Chen Yuan's arms, with a sweet smile on the corner of her mouth: "Now...... That's nice. ”
Chen Yuan smiled: "When the holiday is over, the next time we meet, it will be the New Year." ”
"My dad told you to follow him in business, what do you think?" Yan Xiaoxi rode on Chen Yuan.
"It's good." Chen Yuan said: "But I have a three-year contract with the company. ”
"After three years, you will leave the front-line position." Yan Xiaoxi said fiercely.
Chen Yuan nodded.
If you have money, who wants to float on the sea all year round.
"Next year, you'll graduate." Chen Yuan said.
Yan Xiaoxi nodded vigorously: "After school starts, it's a senior." After the Chinese New Year, I can go out for an internship and don't have to be in school. ”
The two of them lay on the sundeck for a long, long time.
The sky is pitch black and the stars are exceptionally bright......
The night breeze was blowing, and Chen Yuan also took a nap. When they woke up, it was half past ten, Chen Yuan and the others packed up their things and went back to the cockpit to start the fishing boat.
The current location is only a thousand kilometers from Funafuti.
"Did you fall asleep at night?" Chen Yuan asked.
"I don't know wow, I'm not dozing off now." Yan Xiaoxi sat next to Chen Yuan.
Chen Yuan smiled and turned on the three engines, pushed the throttle lever, and adjusted it to high-speed cruise.
A thousand kilometers, that is, more than 500 nautical miles.
With a high cruising speed, you will be able to reach Funafuti Atoll tomorrow morning, also known as the atoll where the capital of the country is located.
After a night of acceleration and speeding, when the day was about to dawn, Yan Xiaoxi finally couldn't bear it anymore and went back to the cabin.
Chen Yuan switched to the three-engine economy cruise mode.
At dawn, Chen Yuan lit a cigarette and asked the fishing boat to continue to maintain speed, and after eight o'clock, Chen Yuan called Zhou Sheng.
Zhou Shengren is from Phong Afalai, the largest island in the Funafuti Atoll and the capital city. According to information available online, the total population of Funafuti Atoll is less than 10,000.
Zhou Sheng, Chen Xin, Lu and Zhang Hang are all here.
After nine o'clock, Chen Yuan saw the Funafuti Atoll, and after ten o'clock, Chen Yuan opened the fish prospect and entered the atoll.
The seabed topography of the atoll is complex, and through the observation of fish prospects, there are not as many fish in the atoll as imagined. However, Chen Yuan encountered a school of fish, and the number was huge.
It is also unknown what species of fish are in length, between 15 and 35 cm in length.
In the coral reef area, there are many valuable fish species.
For distant-water fishing vessels, if they can sell it for 20 yuan and 1 catty when they return to China, they will be worth the fish. After all, it is frozen, and it can sell dozens of dollars and 1 catty of fish, except for some particularly rare fish, and then yellowfin, bluefin tuna, rare grouper, some varieties of sea bream, Tsing Yi and so on.
