"Great, then when we pass by St. John's, I'm going to go to St. John's for seafood."
Although Halifax and St. John's are both in Canada and are cities on the east coast of Canada, the distance between the two is actually more than 500 nautical miles. At the cruising speed of the Blue Whale, it would take at least 36 hours to cover this distance.
However, since we have decided to stay in St. John's for a seafood dinner, we have to communicate with Captain Andre in advance. Although Yang Jing is the employer, he is not so arrogant as to disobey the captain at sea.
The communication went smoothly. After Yang Jing and Gege returned from the viewing platform, they took another nap and had breakfast before entering the cockpit to communicate with Captain Andre.
"Are you planning to stop the ship off the coast of St. John's and then go to that city to have a seafood dinner?" Upon hearing Yang Jing's request, Captain Andrei Milakinov looked at Yang Jing with a strange expression and asked.
Andre's expression made Yang Jing's heart skip a beat, but at this point, he could only nod and say, "Yes, my fiancée has been to that city before, so she happened to pass by that city this time and wanted to visit it again. Of course, it would be a good idea to have a seafood dinner while she's there. After all, St. John's was the core city of the entire Newfoundland fishing grounds back then."
Gege smiled and nodded.
Yang Jing added: "What I mean is, if our ship can stop for a while, I would like to invite the crew to go to that city to have some fun. Captain Andre, we would be even happier if you could go."
Captain Andre suddenly burst into laughter and gave Yang Jing a bear hug of the fighting nation. "Haha, my dear Albert, I have been waiting for your invitation. Damn it, although our group of people drift on the sea all year round, we can't eat fresh seafood. Albert, if you can invite us to have a seafood dinner together, I think the crew will love you to death."
The crew in the cockpit all laughed.
What Andre said was not an exaggeration. This was an ocean-going polar research vessel with a full load displacement of nearly 20,000 tons. The side of the ship was very high, and once the ship was running at a normal cruising speed, it would be close to 30 kilometers per hour. To go sea fishing on such a ship was not impossible, but it was extremely difficult.
The most important thing is that the crew members on this kind of scientific research ship are all dedicated to their respective duties. Even if they are on duty, the crew members on rest will not waste their rest time going sea fishing.
After all, the Blue Whale is not an ocean-going fishing vessel, but a ship similar to an ocean-going cargo ship, so it is really difficult to eat fresh seafood on this ship. The crew on the ship usually eats ingredients stored in the cold storage, which is similar to what they eat on land, and there is very little fresh seafood.
"Okay, then when we arrive in St. John's, I will invite everyone to have a seafood dinner in St. John's." Yang Jing made a promise.
A day and a half passed quickly as they swayed and swayed. On the afternoon of the third day after setting sail, the Blue Whale finally arrived off the coast of St. John's, the largest city on Newfoundland Island.
However, Captain Andre did not allow the Blue Whale to enter the dock of St. John's Bay. St. John's Bay itself is not very large, and the distance from the west end to the east end is only a little over two kilometers. If such a large ship as the Blue Whale enters the port, there will be nothing to do tonight, just enter the port and play.
It is very troublesome for such a large ship of 10,000 tons to enter and dock at the port, especially in a port with narrow waterways such as St. John's Port, where large ships of 10,000 tons rarely enter and dock.
Not to mention that there are only two 10,000-ton docks in St. John's Port, and both are occupied by ships. Therefore, even if the Blue Whale wants to enter St. John's Port, there is no place to dock.
So Captain Andre simply stopped the Blue Whale about three kilometers away from the exit of St. John's Bay. After dropping anchor, except for the necessary crew members who stayed behind, everyone else took the speedboat on the ship to St. John's.
