On this day, the sun was shining brightly and everything was ready. Zhang Yaohua and the others once again embarked on an ocean fishing journey.
Zhang Yaohua continued to move to the latest fishing boat he bought.
You can't blame him for liking the new and hating the old. It's just that the ship has more space and is more comfortable to live in.
"Brother Wen, you can sleep on this bed! It's a bit narrow, but the environment on the ship is like this, please forgive me! Why do you have to suffer this hardship with us when you come to travel in a normal way?" Zhang Yaohua said.
That's right! The person standing in front of him was a tourist, a freelancer, mainly engaged in photography.
When he learned that Zhang Yaohua was going out to sea to fish, he begged to follow him.
Zhang Yaohua couldn't bear his plea, so he agreed.
"That's enough. Thank you. Sorry for bothering you all." Wen Wenjun thanked him.
He wanted to shoot a film about deep-sea fishing. This was undoubtedly a good opportunity, so he decided to follow it.
"Don't be nervous, we won't be out for a long time and it won't be difficult." Someone reassured him.
It will never take more than a month.
Unlike some distant-water fishing boats, they go out for several months, or even a year or two. Staying on a boat for such a long time is a huge test for the human spirit.
Staying on an ocean-going ship for a long time, high-intensity labor, and long-term depression are very likely to lead to mental problems. Crew members would jump overboard for no apparent reason, disappear suddenly, or even kill each other.
The rumors that offshore fishing boats are dangerous are not groundless.
There was news a few years ago that a ship bound for Peru disappeared at sea. Eight months later, when it was towed back to port by the fishery administration, the 11 crew members on board had killed 22 of their companions.
"I'm not nervous, and I believe it will be an easy trip." Wen Wenjun said with a smile.
"That's good. If you think the bed is wide, use quilts, pillows, etc. to cushion both sides when sleeping."
Experienced crew members provide advice.
Wen Wenjun was confused. Is this too wide a bed? It's hard to turn over even if you turn over, right?
In fact, many offshore fishing boats have this design inside.
When sailing on the sea, the bed should be narrow enough to fit your body.
Once there is a storm, experienced sailors will stuff pillows and blankets at the head of the bed early, hold the edge of the bed with both hands, and push the wall at the end of the bed with their feet, so as not to be thrown to the ground.
Although he didn't understand, Wen Wenjun still nodded: "Okay, I understand, thank you!"
On the first day, the weather was calm. Wen Wenjun felt like he was on vacation. He was in a good mood, eating seafood and singing songs.
On the third day, life on the ship began to become a bit boring, and the unchanging scenery made people start to feel visual fatigue.
Another day passed, and he finally couldn't help complaining: "Seafood again?"
Zhang Yaohua said with a smile: "That's how it is at sea. You have to endure it for a while. When you get to Meiji Island, you can relax a little."
"You've only been eating seafood for a few days. You've never been with a real ocean-going fishing boat. That would be devastating." The vice-captain said.
He had been away from home on that kind of fishing boat for more than a year.
Eating seafood for ten days and a half is nothing. If you eat like this for a year and a half, you will definitely want to vomit when you see seafood.
"Uncle Yang has a story? Tell us about it!" Other people who were too idle also came over.
The vice-captain told everyone: "Our ship is great! The equipment is much more advanced and the environment is good. Although the ship I was with before was also sixty or seventy meters long, the environment was much worse. The one we have been at sea for the longest time, It’s one year and three months…”
Not to mention vegetables and the like, even fresh water is often not enough, so you can only use sea water for bathing.
Even the water you drink is distilled water desalinated from seawater. Although it quenches thirst, distilled water does not contain the minerals the human body needs. Drinking this way for a long time will cause problems.
At that time, many people on their ship kept losing their hair.
When he said this, everyone looked at the deputy captain's bald head.
Feelings are not shaved off, but stripped off by oneself?
"At that time, it was normal not to take a shower for twenty or thirty days. How could I be as happy as I am now?" the vice-captain continued.
In addition, he also told everyone a story or a murder case, which made everyone's hair stand on end.
"Is that really possible?"
"You think it's fake? None of you have ever experienced staying at sea for a year and a half. Once you have, you will understand. There is a reason why crew members have high incomes."
There are still some things that he is embarrassed to say.
The ship he traveled with before had a disc player, and there were many reeds in the disc, as many as two large boxes. We often watched it together and discussed the "details" together.
There is nothing we can do about that.
People who have been holding back for a long time have to release it. The captain supported this, so he turned a blind eye to what happened on the ship.
This is why offshore fishing boats cannot take women with them.
Once there is a woman, you don’t know what ridiculous things will happen!
"Attention, there is a situation ahead."
At this time, the captain's notice came.
Everyone involuntarily looked towards the sea ahead.
At some point, the sky ahead darkened, and several huge tornadoes appeared on the sea, connecting to the sky.
"Dragon absorbs water?"
A tornado on the water is what fishermen call a dragon sucking water.
Wen Wenjun's eyes were shining. He took his equipment and ran to the deck of the fishing boat to take pictures wildly. This kind of scenery is really rare for him. He has only seen it in movies before.
The tornado moves across the water, with the center acting like a syringe, sucking water up into the sky. Its upper end is connected with the thundercloud, and its lower end extends directly to the water surface, rotating and moving at the same time.
"Pack up the things in Class A, there will be a heavy rain later." Zhang Yaohua ordered.
Due to gravity, liquid water cannot remain in the sky for long periods of time. So after the dragon absorbs water, the water it absorbs from the sky will fall down and form a heavy rain.
Everyone take action.
"Have you had enough filming? It's almost time to go back to the cabin. You are not allowed to stay on the deck." Zhang Yaohua shouted.
The captain deliberately turned and deviated from the original route to avoid those tornadoes on the sea.
Never try to touch the power of nature, but remain in awe.
The waves on the sea also became stronger, and the fishing boat began to bump.
The fishing boat Zhang Yaohua was on felt bumpy, let alone the other two boats. Especially the one where Ah Hui and Shui Wang were on, everyone could only huddle in the cabin and not catch a cold.
As expected, the heavy rain came as expected.
"This is the downpour." Wen Wenjun sighed as he looked at the rain outside.
As soon as they finished sighing, a fish crashed on the deck outside them. There was no movement, and they didn't know whether they fainted or died.
After the heavy rain, everyone walked out of the cabin and picked up fish on the deck.
There were quite a few. The largest one weighed forty or fifty kilograms and was a small shark. It looked like he might not survive.
Regardless of whether he could survive or not, Zhang Yaohua and the others still threw him back into the sea. This kind of shark is not delicious and cannot be sold for money.
