Chapter 10: Love! For example, we have seen a fishing boat of the same length before, 13.1 meters long and 2.85 meters wide... Two 250-horsepower Honda engines with a top speed of 38 knots are priced at only 650,000 yuan. New boats, three types of fishing boats. When fully operational, the fishing vessel consumed about 150 litres of fuel and horsepower.

Zhao Tian complained that Su Ming's fishing boat was too slow.

Su Ming also wanted a high-speed fishing boat, but the cost of sailing was too high to drive.

After eating the hot pot, it was dark, Zhao Tian drank a little too much, and his face was red.

Su Ming drank two large barrels of draft beer, only to feel that his stomach was swollen.

After the show, Xu Yan did not feel addicted to alcoholism. He said to Su Ming, "Let's drink at the bar." ”

"Let's go."

Come back to the Beach House Bar.

A bottle of whiskey, two plates of nuts, a barrel of ice

Suna and Zhou Lan just didn't drink. When they came to the bar, Xu Yan poured some for them.

"Don't drink too much, or you'll have a headache when you wake up tomorrow morning." Su Ming looked at Su Na and said.

"Hmm." Suna nodded, looking at the environment.

The environment is very good. Next to it there is a beach with large coconut trees that have been transplanted.

The sea breeze blows gently, bringing a faint smell of the sea.

For inland people, there is more or less curiosity and yearning for the sea.

Sit down and blow it.

I only drank half a bottle. It's getting late. Unfinished wine here.

The next day, Su Ming's family went to the boat's house in the afternoon to repair the fishing boat.

Although Su Ming and Xu Yan do not have a ship management certificate, they have rich practical experience. It can be said that Su Ming can be qualified for any position on an ordinary Jiangnan fishing boat. Including the captain

Su Ming's fishing boat has a built-in engine and the rear deck needs to be removed. The engine has been checked before and is almost new. This time I needed to change the oil and do a full body maintenance.

……

In the blink of an eye, it was July.

Su Ming and them successfully passed the exam of subject 1.

The first subject is a written exam, which is very simple. Su Ming and Xu Yan passed once.

After coming out of the examination room, Xu Yan sat in Su Ming's battery car and said, "It's too simple, it's not difficult at all." ”

"How hard was the first class?" Su Ming said as he twisted the switch of the car and walked towards Zhapu Port.

The weather forecast says that the weather has been very good in recent times, with no strong winds and waves.

The work to go to sea is ready.

When they arrived at the shipyard, Su Ming and Zhao Tian greeted each other.

"Are all supplies ready?" Su Ming said.

"It's all set. My father-in-law bought it. Let's see what's missing. Zhao Tian took them to a small warehouse by the sea.

Su Ming and Xu Yan began to count things.

There is a battery stove, a rice cooker, a bag of rice, six barrels of mineral water... All kinds of seasonings... There are even two bags of hot pot base.

"There's meat in the fridge," Mr. Zhao said.

"Okay...... Su Mingqing ordered supplies, enough for seven people for more than five days.

Then they went to the open sea. They went fishing. Food is not in short supply. These are just in case.

Su Min said: "How much is the refrigerator and air conditioner? I'll give it to you. ”。

"Eighteen thousand in total." Zhao Tian said, showing them the list: "The air conditioner is 1.5 horses." The refrigerator is 1550 liters...... I've used some other materials here as well. ”

Su Ming waved his hand, handed the money to Zhao Tian, and said, "When we come back, the royalties will be given to you." If we catch a fish this time, we will stay two more days. ”

"I'm kidding, no," Zhao Tian said with a smile.

"The intermediary fee you introduce to our clients must not be reduced," Mr. Xu added.

"I'm really kidding." Zhao Tian said, "I like to go fishing when I have free time. If I go fishing at sea in the future, you can give me a free fishing spot. ”

"A yard is a yard. You should charge an agency fee and there are free fishing spots......"

"That's not to think of me as a friend." Zhao Tian pretended to be angry and said, "It was really a joke before. In fact, I don't know many professional fishermen. You will contact me individually in the future when I introduce them to you...... And if I charge your agency fee, my father-in-law won't hit me in the head. ”

Xu Yan smiled and said, "Okay." ”

Su Ming and his family carried their things to the ship and prepared to call Zhao Tian. He came with a car, followed by a tanker.

After buying the fishing boat, Zhao Tian filled it up once in Zhuhai, and then it didn't fill it up.

Fishing boats don't stop here all the time. I've been out several times during this time.

Once I went fishing.

Then, after the freezer of the fishing boat is installed, it is filled with things, and after the freezer is installed, it goes out several times to check the stability of the hull with a full load.

The refrigerator weighs several hundred pounds. If it is full, it can hold more than a ton. If the boat is unstable, it is not fun to go to the high seas.

"Master," Su Ming and Xu Yan shouted.

Zhao Tian responded: "The tanker is coming. I also bought four 50-liter barrels. Is it enough? ”

"That's enough." "Please contact us for offshore availability. ”

"Very well connected." Zhao Tian gave a thumbs up, indicating that there was no problem.

The fishing boat had a tank capacity of 1,670 liters, and there was some oil in it, adding a total of 1,589 liters. Another 200 liters

In other words, 1789 liters of diesel fuel were added.

Diesel prices change frequently, and marine diesel is also divided into low-speed and high-speed

Low velocity is what we often call high viscosity heavy oil. The price of heavy oil is comparatively cheaper.

Diesel fuel is more expensive for high-speed diesel ships.

One ton of diesel fuel is about 1176 liters. Su Ming and his fishing boat use the same amount of diesel as a car... The price of one ton is 9283 yuan.

The average is $7.9 per litre.

On the fishing boat, there are more than 14,000 yuan of diesel. This price is much cheaper than at the gas station.

When ready, Su Ming called the passengers and asked them to come out to drink sugar water, and then explained the precautions for going to sea.

Su Ming, the three of them, plus four passengers, a total of seven people.

The passengers were Liu Bei, Li Qiang, Su Feng and Meng Jianshan.

Liu Bei and Li Qiang won't say anything more.

Su Feng, they invited Su Ming to eat at the fish steak before, and then went fishing together.

Su Feng has a friend named Liu Bei. He easily gets seasick and does not dare to go to the open seas. Meng Jianshan is Su Feng's cousin, a senior fisherman, and an UP master.

Su Ming watched the video posted by Meng Jianshan on Station B. The account name is "Dashan Sea Fish" and has more than 10,000 followers.

The UP master, who has more than 10,000 fans, should be a small UP master who is not well-known.

Liu Bei and Su Ming came to the time-honored sugar shop in Lao Street.

Su Ming said: "We are going to go to sea at six o'clock tomorrow morning. ”

"I understand." Liu Bei.

"No problem." Meng Jianshan.

Li Qiang and Su Feng also nodded.

"In different seas, towing fees are £800 and £500 per hour per fishing location. Towing around the reef is expensive and towing along the continental shelf is cheap......"

Su Ming had said these things to them before. Several people nodded again.

"Shall we buy insurance?" Su Feng asked.

The vessel's sign has been lifted. As a commercial fishing vessel, its qualifications are complete and all procedures have been completed. It also includes insurance

Although the fishing boat is small, the annual premium is more than 110,000. This includes resolving passenger accidents

"You don't need to buy separate insurance," Mr. Xu said. "It's even better if you have your own insurance."

After everything was done, Su Ming once again said the preparations for fishing on the high seas: "These fishing tackles are prepared by ourselves. We also had spare tackle on board, but it cost money. Su Ming said with a smile, he said, "We don't have enough vegetables for food, but we have enough meat...... Then catch a fish. If there are no problems, we will meet at the shipyard at six o'clock tomorrow morning and set off. ”

line

"No problem..."

After explaining to Liu Bei, Su Ming and Xu Yan came to the fishing boat and counted the supplies again.

"Twenty lead pendants are enough," Mr. Xu said.

"Prepare some more." Su Ming said, "These plumbers are a bit small. ”

These pendants were prepared by Zhao Tian, and 10 of them are 350 grams and 10 are 500 grams.

When fishing on the high seas, the plumb is too small to sink to the bottom.

When they arrived at the tackle shop, Su Ming and his wife bought thirty more plumbers. The maximum weight is 4 kg, and there are 3 kg, 2 kg...... Wait a minute.

There are also fishing hooks, including blowpipe rope hooks, deep-sea rope hooks... There are also two electric wheels for fishing rods.

Good electric wheels don't come cheap.

The heavy fishing rod that Zhao Tian gave to Su Ming and Xu Yan before was equipped with more than 8,000 yuan of electric wheels.

The fish in the sea are strong.

Not to mention the huge objects of hundreds of pounds. This is a fish weighing tens of kilograms. For many fishermen, this is a huge challenge if they don't use electric wheels. Special strength

The power of the big fish in the water is exaggerated. It feels like pulling a big fat pig. When fishing on the high seas, they basically go for the big fish. If the equipment is not good, it can easily cause problems.

Su Ming and Xu Yan returned home after confirming the materials again and again.

I didn't go out surfing at night. I went to bed early. The next morning, at five o'clock, Su Ming got up.

Suna also got up early. When she heard the news, she opened the door and looked. When she saw Su Ming preparing to go out, she said, "Brother, pay attention to safety when you go out." ”

"Hmm." Su Ming smiled and nodded: "If the yacht class is ready, you and Zhou Lan will study first." ”

"Okay."

"Explosion-proof." Suna smiled and said, "Well, that means catching a lot of fish." ”

Su Ming nodded, smiled and put the fishing tackle bag on his back. "I'm out and taking care of myself at home."

Suna said a few words and nodded.

After going out to call Xu Yan, he got up, and the two met in the underground garage.

Langli Xiaobai sat in Su Ming's car, holding Su Ming's waist with both hands: "I'm so nervous......"

"I'm your grandfather." Su Ming drew a black line on his head. "Your dog...... Hand. ”

"Hey, hey, hey...... You say, if the passengers don't earn the fare back this time, will we mess up the sign? Xu said.

"For three days and two nights, the 6,000 yuan boat fare could not be earned. Then stop operating fishing boats and replace them with fishing boats. Su Ming said, "Call Master and ask him if he eats steamed buns." ”

"Okay." Xu Yan said, took out his mobile phone and called Zhao Tian: "Master...... We're leaving. Do you want to eat steamed buns...... Good...... See you at the shipyard. ”

Su Ming and his wife bought breakfast as soon as they crossed the bustling streets of the town.

If you want to go to sea, it's better not to eat greasy food. Zhao Tian ordered a few steamed buns and a cup of soy milk.

Su Ming and Xu Yan did not get seasick. They all eat steamed buns because they like to eat meat.

Come to the shipyard.

Su Ming and them thought they had arrived early. When they came, Zhao Tian was already there.

Liu Bei and Li Qiang also came here.

Su Ming stopped the car, handed over the car keys to Zhao Tian, returned to the boat and looked at Liu Bei's luggage, and said with a smile: "Why did you bring so many things?" ”

Li Qiang said: "I brought a few boxes of Haidilao and instant noodles. ”

"The refrigerator is sure to explode this time." Xu Yan said with a smile.

Zhao Tian is sorting out the materials.

The cabin of the fishing boat is too small. This time I'm going to go out to sea for a few days to see how the fish are caught and the weather.

In any case, the best thing to do is to stay for ten days.

Su Feng drove a bright red Ford F150 over and parked the car, and Meng Jianshan was also in the car...... Two men trotted over with their luggage.

"We weren't late," Mr. Su said.

"It's not too late, it's just right." Su Ming smiled and said, "Get in the car." ”

"Okay."

Zhao Tian had put away the anchor and was loosening the rope.

Xu Yan went to help, and it was solved in twos and threes... Let's go.

Su Ming took Liu Bei and Su Feng into the cabin and said, "Let's go directly to the Divine Fox Sea, it's a little far, you can sleep." ”

"Okay......" Su Feng said.

Liu Bei also nodded: "I'm not sleepy now." I want to go out and blow the sea breeze and watch the sunrise. Liu Bei said with a smile.

The fishing vessel has a cockpit, a sleeping pod, and a bathroom. The bathroom is small, but you can take a shower standing up

However, the tanks of the fishing boats are small, only 200 liters.

However, fresh water can be replenished at the destination. The price is a bit expensive

The cabin is divided into bunk beds. The lower bunk is a whole bed and is relatively large. Four or five people were lying in bed without a problem. The bed was also small enough to sleep three or four people.

The bunk beds are made of scissors, rock, and cloth.

Liu Bei slept on the top bunk with them.

Su Feng slept with them in the lower bunk, occupying half of the seats. The rest was left to Su Ming and them

The fishing boat also has a cockpit with two benches. At night, you can sleep on a bench, but it is uncomfortable in the sleeping cabin.

The condition is this condition. Impossible, the fishing boat is so big

A big boat is as good as a big boat, and a small boat is as good as a small boat.

Large ships are expensive, expensive to sail and slow to navigate. If it is a 23-meter fishing boat, if it wants to reach 30 knots, it is estimated that it must be equipped with a high-speed engine of 2000 horsepower. Not to mention the price of a two-thousand-horsepower engine, just fuel consumption... It is almost impossible to earn money to go to sea by fishing.

The speed of their fishing boats is okay. In addition, on a fishing boat of the same size, at the same speed, Su Ming's fishing boat consumed quite low fuel.

In the morning, the sun has not yet come out.

The sky is darker than the sea.

The fishing boat left the harbor and headed straight out to sea.

If you're not in a hurry right now, go at cruising speed.

In the morning, there is a light breeze and the waves are small, which can be the reason for the heavy load. Today's ships reach speeds of only 19 and 20 knots, or 37 kilometers per hour.

Su Ming looked at the chart instrument, and then looked at the time

It's 5:50 ... At this rate, about two o'clock to the deep lake sea.

When the tide is high, the boat should slow down.

"What time is the tide at seven o'clock?" Liu Bei walked over.

"Four o'clock in the afternoon. We can still find a good fishing spot in the deep lake and sea......" Su Ming said, taking Xu Yan's bag, which contained steamed buns and steamed buns, "Have you had breakfast?" ”

"Yes," Liu Bei and Li Qiang said.

Su Ming looked at Su Feng, and they waved their hands and said, "I ate something in the morning." ”

Meng Jianshan took out the seasickness medicine and drank a piece of mineral water. Su Feng also took one: "Do you want seasickness medicine?" Meng Jianshan said.

Xu Yan waved his hand and said with a smile, "Don't go there to fight." ”

Meng Jianshan said: "Take seasickness medicine just in case, I didn't get seasick. ”。

Su Feng and them also laughed

"Master, eat some." Su Ming handed Zhao Tian steamed buns and mineral water.

"If we're not in a hurry, we're going to run very slowly." Zhao Tian said, "No matter what, you have to catch the tide to go fishing." ”

"Hmm." Su Ming nodded and returned the backpack to Xu Yan.

In fact, fishing on the high seas... The impact of tides on fisheries is not as great as that of nearshore. However, on coral reefs, when the tide rises to about seven or three minutes, it is really easier for fish to speak.

"I sing against the wind. The journey is the stars and the sea. I'm not afraid of the future and the past......"

Zhao Tian took out his phone and connected it to Bluetooth. There was a stereo on the fishing boat, and a song was played.

Su Ming filled his stomach and moved to the back deck.

The ULT freezer is installed on the aft deck, but there is still a lot of space.

The 13 square meters aft deck has an area of about 1.6 square meters.

The freezer compartment is 2 meters long, 0.8 meters wide and 1.2 meters high. It is embedded in the aft deck and the exposed part is 0.7 meters high. And just like that, a platform appeared on the aft deck.

The standard size of a double bed usually comes in three sizes, namely 1.5m×2m, 1.8m×2m, 1.8m×2m.

The largest double bed is about 4 square meters in size.

The aft deck of the fishing boat can accommodate two of the largest standard double beds, and there is also space. In this way, the rear deck space of the fishing boat is still very large.

Xu Yan walked to the foredeck and shouted a few times in the wind.

The island behind me grew smaller and smaller, and finally disappeared.

The wind is light and the waves are calm. Fishing boats make a long white trail on the surface of the sea.

The red light on the horizon has long since appeared.

I don't know when, the red light disappeared and a little dazzling light appeared.

The sun is out.

Su Ming also walked to the foredeck, took out a cigarette and handed it to Xu Yan. Liu Bei handed them a cigarette, took out a windproof lighter and lit it.

The fishing boat enters the vast sea, the sky is like a dome, and the sea is a round cake

The morning sun shines warmly on you.

The smell of the sea breeze reassured Su Ming. After smoking, Su Ming took the cigarette butt back to the cabin and threw the cigarette butt into the stainless steel ashtray: "Master, I'll sleep." ”

"Sleep," Zhao Tian said.

"When you're tired, say hello to me and I'll set sail."

line

There is not much entertainment on the small fishing boats.

Su Ming worked on a fishing boat in Jiangnan for several years. He is no stranger to the sea anymore. So he went back to the hut and took out his phone to read the novel.

Reading novels can kill boring time at sea.

After reading this novel for a while, the sun was shining outside. Xu Yan and the others also entered the hut

Su Ming put down his phone and chatted for a while.

The sun is shining. Before nine o'clock, the temperature in the cabin was very high.

Su Ming turned on the air conditioner and said, "Let's sleep, it will take more than five hours to reach the destination." ”

"Sleep...... Wake up and do something big," said Li Qiang, who is at the top of the list.

It was quiet in the cabin.

Zhao Tian also turned off the music.

Only the sound of the fishing boat's engine, the sound of breaking waves

These noises did not affect Su Ming's sleep at all. Lying down, Su Ming quickly fell asleep.

When I woke up, it was past twelve o'clock.

Su Ming smelled the smell of instant noodles, rubbed it, got off the bed, found the slippers, put them on, and climbed the stairs to the hut.

"There are no instant noodles," Mr. Xu said.

Su Ming waved his hand and said, "I'll cook later, where is it now?" Su Ming walked up to his master

"Go to the Divine Fox Sea right away."

The sea area of Lake Kinko is the sea area around the dark sand of Lake Kinko. When entering the waters of Lake Kinami, it is close to the dark sand.

The area of the dark sand of the lake is 11.09 square kilometers, and the entire dark sand is below the sea surface. At normal tides, the shallowest part of the water is about 10 meters deep.

The dark sand is in the current zone, and there are many schools of fish.

Su Ming turned on the fish detector, but he had not yet entered the waters of the Divine Lake. Now he is in a water depth of more than 300 meters.

Wait for Xu Yan to finish eating instant noodles and enter the edge of the dark sand mountain

In other words, the fishing boats have entered the deep lake and sea.

Fish have appeared in fish detection pictures. Due to the depth of the probe, we can only see more than 200 meters at most

"There's a lot of fish," Zhao said.

"There should be more and more fish," Su Ming said.

Liu Bei and they also looked at it, and the photo was enlarged to the largest size. The shape of the fish is not visible on the screen, only small dots. Soon, dense dots appeared on the screen

"Wow, are these white dots fish?" Su Feng asked.

Su Ming said: "Hmm": "Little white fish, the length is less than half a meter." More than half a meter is a green dot ......"

"What is a red dot?"

Su Ming said: "A big fish with a body length of more than 1 meter. ”。

A large fish appears on the fish detection screen, more than 1 meter in length and about 200 meters deep.

"Don't you do it?" Meng Jianshan watched the red dot disappear and said regretfully.

"Two hundred meters is too deep."

It's high tide and big fish are on the north side of the reef. During this time, the fish don't talk much.

Su Ming and them are now going to the southern part of the reef.

There are still more than two hours before the seventh tide in the local sea. Now it's time to run slowly.
