Going To The Beach: A Sand Shovel Is Enough To Take Over The Whole Beach

“Joy, the fishermen here only catch salmon every year?”

“Most of them are like this, and a few will choose to catch other fish. After all, salmon is not the only kind in the entire Pacific Ocean.

Some of them, after finishing salmon fishing here, will rush to the Bering Sea to start crab fishing in autumn and winter. ”

“King crab?”

“Yes, there are snow crabs and pine leaf crabs. Crab fishing is very risky, but the income is far from what salmon fishing can match.

The investment in crab fishing is also very high. The Bering Sea is very windy and waves. Fishing boats cannot withstand such wind and waves. Crab fishing cages also take up a lot of space, so the captain usually has to be more than 35 meters long. ”

“A boat is expensive?”

“A new ship that meets the specifications will cost at least more than 8 million U.S. dollars, and a more advanced one will cost over 10 million U.S. dollars.”

Zhao Qin raised his eyebrows. It was too expensive. He ordered a 70-meter boat at home for just over 60 million, but this 40-meter boat cost 60 to 70 million. It was really a scam.

“Go out with the boat tomorrow morning?”

“Yes, I’m afraid I have to get up early. I will call you in advance then.”

After dinner, they each went back to their rooms to rest. Zhao Qin called Yu Fake, who told him that he would return to China tomorrow and that he had been pressing for something at home.

Then he called home, and it wasn’t until nearly ten o’clock that he washed up and went to bed.

Early the next morning, at around three o’clock, he was woken up by Joey. This time York did not follow him. After all, his boat still had to fish, and it was not good to have too many people on board.

“The tide is at five o’clock in the morning. If it is later, the boat may not be able to leave the harbor.” On the way, Joey explained why it was so early.

Zhao Qin smiled, there was no need to explain this, he was more familiar with Joey.

After driving for about 40 minutes, they arrived at the pier. Joey made a phone call. After a while, a girl ran over.

The girl looked to be 20 years old at most and quite pretty.

“Uncle Joey, my dad asked me to pick you up, who is this?”

“This is Zhao from the East, my good friend. He wanted to experience it, so I took him with me. I told your father.”

The girl is the daughter of Captain Kent, who is about to board the ship. She is still studying in college this year, but it is still during the summer vacation, so she comes back to help her father fish.

“Welcome, my name is Lidya.”

Zhao Qin was startled. This girl actually knew Chinese and spoke it better than Joey.

“Thank you, your Chinese is very good.”

“Really? I will graduate next year. I am competing to be a translator to serve the athletes who will go to your country to participate in the Olympics the year after next. With your affirmation, I think my chances of success will be greater.”

After exchanging a few words, under the leadership of Lydia, they quickly came to the side of the boat. Kent stood at the bow of the boat and looked at them.

“Joy, you bastard, you got me into trouble again.”

“Kent, I think you must have forgotten to brush your teeth again this morning.”

Kent laughed loudly and gave Joey a hug as he got on the boat, “I think you will bring me good luck. Today will definitely be another good harvest day.”

After letting go, he extended his hand to Zhao Qin and said, “Welcome, my friend from afar.”

After shaking hands, Kent yelled at several crew members, occasionally including curse words that Zhao Qin could understand.

At about half past four, Lidia took a list and handed it to Kent, “Dad, we can go.”

Kent glanced at the list, then took it and entered the wheelhouse. After a while, the ship started.

“Can I go into the wheelhouse and take a look?” Zhao Qin looked at Lidia and asked.

“Of course, but please don’t move around. Once my dad gets into work, um, he has a bad temper.”

Zhao Qin smiled and followed Lidya into the wheelhouse.

The visual inspection of this boat should be about 28 meters, which is slightly larger than the boat at home. The configuration in the wheelhouse is similar. There are specific routes on the GPS navigation screen next to it.

He took a closer look and found that there were four red lines on the navigation system, forming a square.

“What’s this?”

“This is a legal fishing area. If you exceed the red area, you will face huge penalties from the fishery administration.”

He looked at the route. He planned to go northwest to the upper right corner of the square. It would take about two hours to drive.

He did not open the system because the boat did not belong to him, the net did not belong to the system, and more importantly, the harvest did not belong to him either.

But the strange thing is that he has an intuition that the fishing conditions in the northwest will not be very good today.

The network a little closer to the northeast may explode. Of course, this is his intuition, not a systematic guide. It is difficult to say whether it is accurate or not.

“Zhao, what do you do?”

“I’m a fisherman.”

Lidia was stunned when she heard his reply. She knew that Joey wasWhat are you doing? You should be able to keep Joey company. The man in front of you should be at least a multi-millionaire.

Unexpectedly, the other party was a fisherman.

The next moment she looked a little embarrassed, “Zhao, I’m not a child. You can choose not to answer me. This is your right. Why lie to me?”

Zhao Qin subconsciously touched his nose, “The current speed is 16 knots and the route is northwest. At this speed, it will take about 130 minutes to reach the destination.

If you still don’t believe it, you can ask your father to get up and I will sail the boat, but I don’t have a boat license here. ”

“Hey, tell me something I can understand.” Kent looked at Zhao Qin warily, his gaze a bit like that of Chen Dong whom he had just met last year.

“Dad, Zhao said he is also a fisherman.”

Kent was stunned for a moment, then suddenly burst into laughter and said to the girl: “Look, this is what men are like. Not a single word in their mouths is sincere, and they will always cater to you with purpose.”

This time it was Zhao Qin’s turn not to understand, so he didn’t care and walked to the side to study the control system.

“Dad, you can’t treat everyone as a bad person.”

“Of course I don’t want to, but it is what it is.”

Lidya snorted softly and said in Chinese: “Zhao, have you finished the tour?”

Zhao Qin thought that Kent was impatient, and thought to himself, you are really stingy. Let’s see if you can’t get it wrong. “I’ve finished reading, then I’ll go out first.”

Walking out of the wheelhouse and onto the back deck, his eyes were attracted by the fishing net in front of him.

This is a huge floating net. It can be determined from the fact that each section carries a white oval floating ball. It is currently entangled in a large winch.

It is a bit like a winch for anchoring. It is very convenient to operate. When you want to lower the net, you only need to throw the heavy net head into the water, and then use the speed of the boat, and the net will naturally be lowered into the sea.

When collecting, just start the machine, rotate the winch, and control it by one person so that the net can be evenly wrapped to the top.

“Are you there?” Lidya asked after seeing Zhao Qin observing.

“We don’t have it in our sea area. Is this the way you fish for salmon?”

“There is also a seine net, which is similar in nature to this kind of net, but it is wider and has greater requirements on ships. Of course, fishing depends on luck.

It’s hard to say which way is better. ”

Seeing that Zhao Qin stopped talking, she continued: “Zhao, I’m sorry, my father is actually a very good person, but his mouth often hurts others. My mother divorced him because of this.”

Zhao Qin was startled, then waved his hand to indicate that it was okay. As for what he didn’t understand at all, he was embarrassed to say it.
