fisherman legend

Chapter 434 Calling at the Supply Port

For most people who go out to sea, the real worry is encountering unpredictable strong winds and waves.Even a large ship of the [-]-ton class is still in danger of being buried in the sea once it encounters a strong wind and waves that are difficult to resist.

As the older generation of seagoers said, the temper of the sea is unpredictable.Even with the rapid development of science and technology, it still seems more or less insufficient to really monitor the weather changes at sea.

Sometimes, the weather conditions and changes in wind and waves at sea often change greatly in a very short period of time.One second was calm, and the next second may be turbulent.

It has been a few days since I came out of the country, and the ocean-going fishing boat, which has never encountered any strong wind and waves, is about to leave the waters of Luzon, but it suddenly encounters such a sudden change in weather, which is really unprepared.

Fortunately, the tonnage of the fishing boat is large enough, not to mention the quality.It's just that under the gust of wind at night, the huge fishing boat is still tossing up and down in the waves, which is really scary.

Fortunately, none of the crew members were rookies who went to sea for the first time.They are very clear that it is useless to worry about being nervous at this time, and it depends more on the driver's skills.If you blindly panic, it is more likely to cause accidents.

In this case, it is safest to stay on board.If you really want to run out of the cabin and accidentally fall into the water, then there is only one end, and that is to be buried in the sea.Many crew members even directly fixed themselves on the bed with ropes.

Accompanied by Wang Yanming and others in the cab, Zhuang Haiyang also said speechlessly: "Look at this posture, this is a sudden storm, right? Even a small tonnage ship of this level may not be able to handle it! "

"Well! I have to say that the dangers that you may encounter when going out to sea are indeed more than those in domestic waters. Fortunately, our boat is big and strong enough. Instead of bringing the salvage boat here, it may be a bit troublesome tonight. "

Wang Yanming, who was in control of the rudder, still had a calm expression on his face, always paying attention to the sea area ahead.Even under the heavy rain, the view from the cockpit is not very good, but there are still navigation lines to guide the ship forward.

The more this kind of time, the more unable to stop the ship. It may seem safer to ride the wind and waves and stay away from the most violent area of ​​the storm as soon as possible.And the ship lights on the boat were flickering from time to time at this moment, bringing a little comfort to everyone.

Hearing this, Zhuang Haiyang smiled and said, "Those guys probably won't be able to sleep?"

"Well! I asked them to fasten their seat belts according to your instructions. Although I didn't sleep well, at least I didn't have to worry about being thrown out of the bed. Such a big wind and waves are really unexpected."

Facing Hong Wei's answer, Zhuang Haiyang immediately replied: "We must adapt and get used to it as soon as possible. If we really go out to sea, we may encounter such dangers from time to time in the future. The sea area we are going to later, the wind and waves are still relatively strong of."

"understand!"

It has been decided to temporarily choose the nearest port to stop for supplies, so the fishing boat will naturally head towards the target port.During the journey, Zhuang Haiyang has also been exercising his mental strength, always paying attention to every move outside the ship.

If he really felt that the waves were too big for the fishing boats to handle, then Zhuang Haiyang would make a move.With his current ability, releasing Dinghaizhu can completely ensure the safety of the fishing boat and prevent it from capsizing in the wind and waves.

It was with this confidence that Zhuang Haiyang dared to bring out so many comrades in arms.Before the critical moment, Zhuang Haiyang will naturally not make a move easily.In his opinion, there are still some advantages to letting the crew accept the challenge.

At dawn, the fishing boat, which had struggled in the sea for several hours, finally got out of the sea with the strongest waves.Looking at the sea whose sight was gradually becoming clearer, Wang Yanming also seemed to heave a long sigh of relief.

Seeing this scene, Zhuang Haiyang also smiled and said, "Squad leader, do you want to take a break? You must have been very tired before?"

"It's okay! To be honest, it's the first time I encountered such a big storm before. It's a lie to say that I'm not afraid. Fortunately, everything went well!"

"Well! Then you can rest for a while, we are now away from the supply port, and there should be less than two hours of voyage left. I will sail, and you rest first. Otherwise, when you disembark and dock, you probably won't have the energy to go ashore to play. .”

"Okay, then you come!"

Wang Yanming did not refuse Zhuang Haiyang's kindness.He knew very well that if anyone on board had better sailing skills than him, it was Zhuang Haiyang.But last night, Zhuang Haiyang did not deprive him of the right to sail.

The more critical the time, Zhuang Haiyang also wanted to give Wang Yanming a chance to establish his authority.Only by letting everyone know that Wang Yanming's sailing skills are excellent, then the crew members on board can really rest in peace.

When other crew members also felt that the ship seemed to be sailing steadily, many people breathed a sigh of relief.In the situation last night, it would be a lie to say that they were right in their hearts, but they knew that they couldn't help much.

Seeing that the ship was gradually stabilizing, many crew members who hadn't slept all night whispered, "What time is it?"

"Shouldn't it be dawn?"

"Hmm! Listening to the sound of rain and wind, it seems much quieter. Hurry up and squint for a while!"

"I can't sleep, my stomach hurts, I'd better get up and walk!"

Amidst the chatter, many crew members walked out of the rest cabin.Seeing that it was still raining at sea, they did not step out of the cabin, but stood in the cabin, quietly watching the movement outside the boat.

Wu Xingcheng, who was in charge of preparing breakfast, even if he didn't have a good rest last night, he still got together with the cooking and prepared breakfast for the people on board.Seeing these comrades who got up, he also smiled and said: "Wake up so early? Didn't the meal be ready yet?"

"It's okay! I couldn't sleep, and I didn't have a good rest last night. However, you all worked hard!"

"What's the hard work? The division of labor is different! Wait a little longer, maybe half an hour before you can have breakfast. However, you are sure to eat breakfast, and you won't spit it all out to feed the sea fish later, right?"

"How is that possible? You underestimate us too!"

Regarding Wu Xingcheng's ridicule, the early crew members would naturally not admit it.Even if they don't have much appetite, the crew members on board all know that if they want to ensure that their physical fitness does not decline, they must eat three meals a day.

Zhuang Haiyang, who was in charge of sailing the boat in the cab, heard the voice from the dining room, and said with a smile: "Lao Hong, go to the dining room to have a look. Some people are probably up. If they haven't woken up, let them sleep again." After a while, wake them up when they land on the shore."

"Okay, then I'll go and inform them. We've heard of this port before, but we've never been there! It's just that this country is small in size and the scenery is pretty good, right?"

"Island country, what do you think? The supply port we are about to stop at should be relatively prosperous. This country has no mineral resources. With its unique geographical location, the economic level is not bad. The port should be something to watch."

"Understood, then let me tell them, and the passport should be ready, too?"

"That's natural! After entering the port, if you want to disembark for a rest, you still have to go through customs inspection! However, I miss that they should still be happy to see us stay in the port for a day or two before we can spend!"

"Then on the ship, do we still need to arrange manpower on duty?"

"That's natural! Tell the brothers under me, the team members on duty, I will arrange a rotation at that time, and try to give all brothers the opportunity to go to a foreign port city to have a good time. Just don't get lost!"

"it is good!"

Hong Wei somewhat understood what the so-called blinded eyes meant.A trading port that specializes in receiving supply ships from various countries naturally has some entertainment venues.Some crew members who have been drifting at sea for a long time are keen to go to such places for consumption.

Regarding this point, Zhuang Haiyang definitely disagrees, but he does not completely oppose it.Anyway, these comrades hired, who are not bloody?But there is one point, he still strongly opposes the comrades-in-arms with family members.

Even he has no interest in such things.Single comrades, if they are interested, he will not object too much.After all, this kind of thing is nothing new to many people who run a boat.

Even in some places where the economy is relatively backward and there are ports, these wealthy crew members are specially received!

The crew member who was notified said in surprise, "Old Hong, are we going to stop for supplies?"

"No supplies! There are plenty of supplies on board, but Haiyang said that it is rare to come out, so I will go to the port to rest for a day, and take a look at the scenery of exotic islands. At that time, I will arrange to stay at the port hotel for one night.

The specific rules should be explained later in Haiyang.Still the same sentence, play for fun, don't cause trouble.Most importantly, this is not at home.Many of you probably don't speak English very well, do you? "

The language barrier is indeed a hassle at times.Fortunately, after they were recruited, Zhuang Haiyang also emphasized that they should learn more English communication.Compared with members of the salvage team, the members of the security team have better English proficiency.

When the fishing boat slowly entered, it docked at the port where a large number of cargo ships and ocean-going fishing boats were docked.Under the guidance of the towing boat, the fishing boat quickly found a berth.As soon as the ship stopped, staff members boarded the ship for inspection.

In this regard, Zhuang Haiyang was also very polite, showing the corresponding documents to the inspectors, and told them that they would go to Niuxilai next.After reading the documents, the inspector also smiled and said, "Are you supplies, or?"

"Last night, the sea was too stormy, and we didn't have a good rest. This time we docked in Guigang, one is to replenish some living supplies, and the other is to find a hotel to rest and experience the customs of your country."

"Oh! Well, we also extend a warm welcome to you! Have you brought your passports?"

"I brought it! We also often travel to the sea, and this is only the first time in your country."

While saying these words, Zhuang Haiyang was also very discreet, and gave the prosecutor a little tip.Looking at the beautiful knife handed over and rolled up, the inspector was naturally very happy, and informed some precautions required for entering the port.

For things like this, before going out to sea, Zhuang Haiyang naturally asked people who often go out to sea to inquire about the rules.Although it is okay not to tip, but it may be difficult to know some inside information.

Pay a little tip, and the inspector will give some convenience.Similar to customs clearance, maybe after entering the city, you can choose to stay in a hotel or a more formal entertainment venue, and the inspector will also inform you.

Anyway, these people are local snakes, it's better to befriend them than to offend them!

After seeing off the port personnel who boarded the ship for inspection, Zhuang Haiyang also smiled and said, "I didn't get much rest last night, did I? Do you want to rest on board, or go to the hotel booked on shore? "

"Let's go to the hotel! The big bed in the hotel should be more comfortable to sleep in."

Zhuang Haiyang didn't think there was anything wrong with his comrade's answer, and continued: "Okay, then Lao Hong arranges for the left-behind personnel. After the hotel is booked, I will arrange people to come over for rotation. If we strive, everyone can enter the port for transfer." change."

"Okay! I'll arrange this!"

Although no personnel are arranged to stay behind, it shouldn't be a big problem.But in Zhuang Haiyang's view, there are also a lot of materials stored on board.Who can guarantee that no one will sneak into their fishing boat while they are resting in the hotel?
As for the port staff, they will help patrol to ensure the safety of fishing boats.In Zhuang Haiyang's view, this kind of promise has no guarantee at all.When you are away from home, your own people are more reliable and trustworthy.

After simply packing up some things, Zhuang Haiyang also asked everyone to change into casual clothes, and under the guidance of the port staff, began to declare the entry procedures.After completing these procedures, Zhuang Haiyang led the crowd to wander around.

Through the mobile phone, I booked a hotel not far from the port, and took everyone there to check in.Although there are many cheap hotels, from Zhuang Haiyang's point of view, since he wants to stay in a hotel, it doesn't matter if he stays in a better one.

Otherwise, it would be better to go back to the boat to rest if staying in a relatively cheap and unsafe hotel!

As an internationally renowned supply port, it receives ship runners from all over the world every year.Seeing Zhuang Haiyang and his party enter the hotel, the hotel staff responsible for the reception also knew that these people should be crew members.

Considering the English level of the security personnel, there is still a gap compared to myself.When checking in, it was naturally Zhuang Haiyang who came forward in person.After getting the room card, give the room card to the comrades who entered the hotel one after another.

"Two people share a room. You can take a shower first, and then take a nap if you want to rest. If you don't want to rest, you'd better find a brother who can speak English to go out for a walk. Also, I will take it later money."

If you want to spend at the port, you will naturally need to exchange the currency of the country.Even American knives are easy to use there, but when Zhuang Haiyang cleared the customs before, he was still in the nearby bank and exchanged a lot of the country's currency.

Although the money was not much, Zhuang Haiyang felt that it should be enough for these comrades in arms to consume.In terms of food and accommodation, Zhuang Haiyang can afford it.However, for the extra personal consumption, Zhuang Haiyang still has to be counted on the spending comrades in the end.

No matter how generous it is, it is impossible to meet the shopping and consumption needs of all comrades-in-arms.Besides, with the income of these comrades-in-arms, as long as they don't spend money randomly, they should still be able to afford simple shopping and consumption.
