Chapter 377 Sea Fog
read;
The weather for going to sea is not good, but it cannot be considered bad in terms of the current season. After all, it is already early December. If you have too many fantasies about God, it is better to stay at home and be a home-loving man honestly.
Cloudy days do not stop fishermen from making money, especially for those who have just changed their careers and put into new business. Gloucester Port has become very busy this year at such a time. Used or brand new flat-deck crab and shrimp fishing boats have sailed out of the port and headed towards the extremely cold northern waters.
The small fleet of one, two, three small ships led by Bei Hai did not set out early, but it was never too late. He followed the flow and started the first Greenland shrimp and crab trip.
The boat was very lively. All the sailors on the two ships, Asterisk and Arrow, gathered together to go out to sea for the first time. There were about ten people, most of them were young people, and now after a period of rest, it was the time when they were most energetic. This made the whole cabin full of laughter and joy.
The only place where there is not much fun is the bridge of the Big Crab Crab. Now the sight of the bridge is much better than that of the Arrow. The main reason is that the bridge can naturally be built higher. The bridge of the Big Crab Crab is seven meters away from the deck and is almost twice as high as that of the Arrow. If Beihai doesn't stretch his head, he will never see the flag of the Big Crab Crab Crab hanging on the bow flagpole.
Not far behind the crab claws, one left and one right, followed by Digo and Marlene's ships. Just turn your head and you can see the lights emitted by the positioning lights on the masts of the two ships.
"Hull, do you want to slow down?"
After leaving Newfoundland for a while, Digo, who was following behind, asked Behai for advice.
"We are only at 12 knots now, so we can't be slower anymore, otherwise the crew will not be able to catch up with this year's Christmas." Bei Hai directly denied Digo's suggestion.
The temperature of the whole temperature dropped rapidly as soon as it left Newfoundland. Although it was already past eight o'clock, it was still gray and dark when looking out through the porthole. There was nothing to see dozens of meters away. Beihai encountered such a large gray fog for the first time. The whole world was gray and black, and even the sea water was almost the same color.
Digo's suggestions are very pertinent, but Beihai has balls, fried dough sticks and three local dogs underwater to guide the way. It ensures that there will be no problems within the safe range of the three ships, and naturally there will be no need to slow down.
Beihai has done a relatively precise calculation of time. It takes about a week and a half to go from Gloucester port to the crabbing point. Then it is almost a week and a half before Christmas. Then it is almost a day or two before Christmas. The Mustang cargo opportunity to come to Yulian Hobb to bring the crew back to enjoy the Christmas round and trip for four days. After two days of Christmas, the crew will return to the boat with the plane and then collect the crab cages.
Judging from this plan, there is not much time to waste in the entire journey, and it is almost as sophisticated as a gear. Unless everyone is willing to give up the traditional Christmas reunion with their families, they should at least reach the fishing ground at the current speed.
"We may soon encounter an iceberg. Is this a little too dangerous?" Marlin also asked Bei Hai in the phone.
Glacier belt refers to the time when glaciers float on the sea with the ocean current. The part of the iceberg exposed to the sea is often only a small piece, but the part under the sea is not only the largest but also the most deadly. In the current external weather, if there is no three balls leading the way, I really dare not move forward at full speed. Once you see the iceberg, you will hit you and you will not even have room to dodge. Even if you have a sudden brake on the boat, let alone there is no such thing on the boat.
If you are lucky enough or have a good understanding of the iceberg here, you may not be sure to meet the culprit who knocked the Titanic into the Atlantic Ocean. Of course, if you hit it, you may not be sure to sink to the cold seabed with the Titanic.
"It's okay, I'm driving a radar here, I've spent a lot of effort on this thing." Bei Hai took his own radar as a shield. I have to say that the Big Crab Claw is not prominent in anything, but this radar is very prominent. This thing was not ordered from the electronics company but from Bei Hai's own research institute. It is the research result of Leopold's leadership team. Although it is not as good as the US-based radar, it is much better than ordinary fishing boat radars.
"I hope your thing can be as good as the old guy said. If we weren't there, we might have had a lot of fun," Digo said to Beihai.
If Bei Hai relies solely on the radar, he would naturally not joke about his life. There are three friends underwater. If Bei Hai wants to hit the iceberg in this way, it can only be said that Bei Hai will hit the iceberg this time. If it weren't for this chance.
"Don't worry, Leopold is not going to joke with my life on the ship, otherwise who would give them research fees?" Bei Hai laughed and said jokingly.
"I hope so!" Digo smiled when he heard this.
"Okay, I'll take care of the first mate. I'll go and rest for three or four hours soon." Marlin decided that the three of them had nothing to say, so they just mentioned the rest.
Bei Hai couldn't help but feel a little sleepy when he heard this. You know, although he had just come out of the port, he had to make it two hours after entering the port. He mainly filled up the fuel and then left the port after a little supply. The three captains had not yet closed their eyes. Unfortunately, Bei Hai couldn't rest at this time, and others could find a first mate substitute. Bei Hai was not good. Matt had no brain wave contact with the fried dough sticks.
"I didn't have a break here," Digo said.
"Where are you?"
"I'll forget it. No matter how you say it, you have to wait for the gray fog to dissipate, or if you get out of this current, I can sleep." Bei Hai had not been asleep for a night, but now it is not the time to sleep. Three ships are sailing on the iceberg belt, which means that there is a fatal thing not far ahead. Bei Hai said that the radar is effective, but he is more willing to believe in the three fried dough sticks in the water.
"Then you're busy, let's go to sleep for a while," Digo said and then hung up the phone.
After about an hour, Bei Hai put down the phone, turned on the entertainment facilities on the boat and listened to music, put the songs in Lincoln Park to the maximum, humming while playing hard with his hands, pouring himself a cup of coffee from time to time, relying on these things to cheer himself up and support himself not to fall asleep.
"So interesting."
Xu Hui pushed the door and saw Bei Hai shaking his head and twisting his body, twisting his body, staring at him like a copper bell for a while before he said loudly.
"Are you up?" Bei Hai stopped and turned off the music and asked Xu Hui.
At this time, Xu Hui was wearing a big orange-red leather ball, and she was tightly dressed. Not only did she have gloves and a cotton hat with a pullover. It can be said that all the parts that could be covered except for her eyes were covered. Even if Xu Hui came in from outside, there were some white frost stains on his eyelashes, which shows how the temperature outside was.
"It's over nine o'clock, of course I'll get up." Xu Hui took off his gloves and pulled off the hat on his head and threw it on the chair next to the door: "This ghost weather is everywhere and there is nothing. Everything you can see is of the same color, which makes me feel much worse all of a sudden. When will the sun appear here? It's been a week since I will be almost crazy if I continue like this!"
"Who made you rush around? I advise you to stay in the cabin and play cards with the sailors. Now you have encountered the sea fog and it will not be dissipated in a few days. You wait for the sun to come out and then go to the deck to stroll. Don't sit like a monkey without a butt all day long," Bei Hai said to his friend.
Xu Hui sat on the chair and raised his feet and pulled down a big leather boot from his feet, then prepared to rub his big feet: "I used to think it was quite interesting when I got on the boat, but why did I feel that I didn't have much fun this time? Now I feel like I'm lying in prison, and I'm staying in such a little space every day."
"What shoes are you taking off in the bridge? Go back and let people live?" Bei Hai saw that this guy pulled off his boots and couldn't help but open his mouth and immediately said.
When Xu Hui heard this, he raised his feet and sniffed them beside his nose: "It doesn't smell bad, I'm not Du He's sweaty feet!"
"If you don't smell bad, put it on me." Bei Hai raised his foot and kicked the guy with a small foot: "This is a bridge, not a cabin."
"I've put it back, I've put it back!" Xu Hui picked up the boots next to him and put them on his feet: "When will we get to the fishing place? I've watched the boat run and played cards with the sailors for so long."
"One day and a half to two days will be available to get the cage," Bei Hai explained: "If you run like this later, you will be back to the port. In the future, you will almost always wander around the sea and recycle the cages."
"It sounds quite simple. It's much easier for you to make money than us!" Xu Hui started to speak as soon as he heard it.
With Xu Hui talking nonsense beside him, Bei Hai felt that his sleepiness had become much lighter, so he followed the boy: "Don't say this for now. When the time comes, you will know if the money is easy to make."
Xu Hui looked up at Bei Hai and said, "How difficult is it? Isn't it just to put a few pieces of meat in the cage and push the cage into the sea, and finally pull it up! We are so shameless and self-esteem that we accompany customers here. Which one is not an old man? Which one should not lick your face and laugh with you, or can this business be done?"
"Looking at the mountain high," Bei Hai said with a smile: "To be honest, it's easy for me to make money, but it's not easy for these sailors. I'll wait a few days to see you."
