Chapter 424 Invitation to Seafood Dinner
The temperature in the Newfoundland waters was relatively low in the early morning of July, but the weather was very good today, so Yang Jing and Gege got up early in the morning to enjoy the sunrise at sea.
The cabin they lived in is the best cabin on the entire ship. Opening the door, it is a large viewing platform. It is located on the fourth floor of the deck cabin, which is the second only to the top cockpit on the entire ship.
When they came out, Chris and the others had quietly stood up. Even on the boat, the four of them still performed their duties.
The two of them stood on this platform, looking out of nowhere, looking at the sea in the east.
In fact, to be strict, the two people get up not in the early morning, but in the middle of the night. Because they get up at 3:30. If this is in the low latitude of the northern hemisphere, this point will be dark.
However, the sea area where they are now is close to fifty degrees north latitude, and the sunrise time is 3:58 in the morning. When they get up, it is actually already bright.
There is no way, this is the summer in the northern hemisphere. The higher the latitude, the earlier it will be. If you wait for the Blue Whale to pass through the Arctic Circle and enter the Arctic Circle, then at this time, the dark night time will only be a few hours every day.
After waiting for a while, the sky and sea surface in the east were rendered orange-red. As time went by, the color became thicker and thicker. It seemed that in an instant, the reddish sun "bounced" out from below the sea level, and the misty water vapor rising above the sea surface made the sun not look so round and the scenery was extremely spectacular.
"Actually, the sun we see now is not the real sun, do you know?" Gege asked Yang Jing with his head tilted. Before Yang Jing could answer, she continued, "Actually, when we see the sun at sunrise, it is just a sun-figure scene formed by the refraction and diffuse reflection of the atmosphere, so the sun looks very empty and irregular."
Yang Jing hugged the princess' waist and said with a smile: "You girl knows a lot."
"Haha, if you have seen the sunrise on the sea many times, you will know this." Gege replied playfully.
After she said this, Yang Jing remembered that this girl was born with a golden key in her mouth. She had seen it many times since she had seen it.
"But I still like to watch the sunrise on the sea. Only by watching the sunrise on the sea can you feel the vastness of the world and the greatness of Mother Nature." The princess slapped on Yang Jing's face, "Husband, thank you for accompanying me to watch the sunrise."
Yang Jing's arms couldn't help but tighten. The two of them snuggled up against the fence of the viewing platform, watching the fish leaping in the distance and the seagulls soaring in the sky.
"Wife, do you know that this sea area was once the largest fishing ground in the world?" Yang Jing asked, pointing out his hand at the vast sea area ahead.
"I know the Newfoundland fishery, but because of centuries of fishing, especially overfishing in the 1950s and 1960s, this fishery has suffered a catastrophe. Now, there are only three of the four major fishery farms in the world, and the Newfoundland fishery has been completely destroyed."
"Yo, do you know so clearly?" Yang Jing said with a smile.
"What's the matter? I've been here for vacation before..." Princess' answer couldn't help but suffocate Yang Jing, and Princess immediately laughed.
"It was during my freshman year and I came here for a vacation, and then I took a boat to come here. I also heard a lot of stories about Newfoundland fishing grounds here."
Yang Jing said with a smile: "I have never been here before, but I know a lot about Newfoundland. A few years ago, there was an online novel that was very popular on the Internet. It seemed to be called "Golden Fishery". It talks about the story of a young Chinese man with ocean power in Newfoundland. It is well written, and the author is also a fellow villager with me."
"Huh? There are still books like this? Is it good to read?"
"Well, I suggest you take a look. It's pretty good. Anyway, I've been chasing that book for a long time."
"Okay, I'll read that book when I have time." Gege seemed very happy.
But she turned her head and sighed.
"What's wrong? I was doing well just now, why did I sigh now? What made you unhappy?" Yang Jing asked curiously.
Gege scratched his forehead and said embarrassedly: "Actually it's nothing. I just recall the seafood meal I had in St. Johns when I was on vacation in Newfoundland that year. Although fishing in Newfoundland has been banned for more than 30 years, St. Johns is the capital of Newfoundland Province, and it is another seaside city. There are still many excellent seafood in St. Johns every day. Unfortunately, we were just passing by there this time. It would be great if we could go ashore for a seafood meal."
Yang Jing poked the princess' face with a doting spoiled and said with a smile: "So the little greedy cat is greedy for seafood? This is easy to say. When we pass by St. Johns, I will tell Andre that we can stop the boat and get off the anchor, and then take the assault boat to St. Johns to eat seafood."
Although Yang Jing and the others are now on the sea, the Blue Whale is too big to fish at all. Although there are frozen seafood ingredients in the cabin, where is this frozen seafood delicious? So Yang Jing and the others are now in a situation that guards the sea but do not eat seafood.
"Really?" Princess was excited.
"What's the real thing about this? We came out this time, and the treasure hunt was just a way to go out for a vacation. So, do whatever you want and play. We rented this boat but paid the rent. As long as it does not violate the rules of sailing, we can give all other conditions."
"It's great. When we pass by St. Johns, I'm going to St. Johns for seafood."
Although Halifax and St. Johns belong to Canada, and are both cities on the east coast of Canada, the distance between the two is actually more than 500 nautical miles. With the cruising speed of the Blue Whale, it will take at least 36 hours to complete this distance.
However, since he has decided to stay for a seafood meal in St. Johns, he has to communicate with Captain Andre in advance. Although Yang Jing is an employer, he is not so arrogant that he doesn't listen to the captain at sea.
The communication progressed very smoothly. After Yang Jing and Gege returned from the viewing platform, they slept again and then entered the cockpit to communicate with Captain Andre.
"You are going to stop the boat outside St. Johns and then go to that city to have a seafood meal?" Captain Andrei Mirakinov looked at Yang Jing with a strange expression and asked.
Andre's face made Yang Jing feel a little "splied", but at this time, he could only bare the bullet and nod and said, "Yes, my fiancée has been to that city before, so this time she happened to pass by that city, so she wanted to go to that city again. Of course, having a seafood meal was also a very good thing. After all, St. Johns was the core city of the entire Newfoundland fishing grounds back then."
Princess smiled and nodded.
Yang Jing said again: "I mean, if our boat can stop, I want to invite the crew on the boat to go to that city together for fun. Captain Andre, if you can go, we will be happier."
Captain Andre suddenly burst into laughter and gave Yang Jing a bear-like hug from a fighting nation, "Haha, my dear Albert, I have been waiting for your invitation. Damn, although we are floating on the sea for many years, we can't eat fresh seafood. Albert, if you can invite us to have a seafood meal together, I think those crew members will love you to death."
The crew members in the cockpit laughed.
What Andre said is not an exaggeration. They are an ocean-roof polar scientific research ship with a full load displacement of nearly 20,000 tons. The ship's side is very high. Once the ship runs at a normal cruise speed, it will be a speed of nearly 30 kilometers per hour. It is not impossible to play sea fishing on such a boat, but it is extremely difficult.
The most important thing is that the crew members on this kind of scientific research ship are all one carrot and one pit. Even if they are on a rotating position, the crew members who are resting will not spend their rest time fishing in the sea.
After all, the Blue Whale is not an ocean-going fishing boat, but a ship similar to an ocean-going freighter, so it is really hard to eat fresh seafood on this ship. The crew on the ship usually eats ingredients stored in the cold storage, which is similar to those eaten on land, but there are very few fresh seafood and other things.
"Okay, when we arrive at St. Johns, I will invite everyone to St. Johns for a seafood meal." Yang Jing made a promise.
As it was swaying, a day and a half passed quickly. On the afternoon of the third day after going to sea, the Blue Whale finally arrived outside St. Johns, the largest city in Newfoundland.
However, Captain Andre did not let the Blue Whale sail into the dock of St. Johns Bay. St. Johns Bay is not big, and it is only more than two kilometers from the west to the east. If a ship as big as the Blue Whale enters the port, don’t do anything tonight, just enter and harbor and play.
This kind of 10,000-ton large ship enters the port and arrives at the port, which is a very troublesome thing, especially in a port with narrow waterways like St. Johns Port, where there are almost no 10,000-ton large ships rarely enter the port.
Not to mention that there are only two 10,000-ton docks in St. Johns Port, and now all ships dock, so even if the Blue Whale wants to drive into St. Johns Port, there is no place to dock.
Chapter completed!
