After they had eaten and drunk their fill, Bai Yu and the others left the barbecue restaurant and wandered around the streets.
In March, the area around Da'e is still covered in a blanket of white snow. Some of this snow fell recently, but most of it was snow that fell earlier and hasn't melted yet.
Bai Yu and the others strolled around this beautiful place.
After they finished their tour and returned to the yacht, Bai Yu and the others' biggest takeaway from the city was: it's a good city, but unfortunately, there are too few people.
This is a port city, and a major trading port in the Far East region of Canada, making it a relatively developed city.
This city, with a total population of only a few hundred thousand, is less than the population of one of our hometown towns.
However, these things were not too important to Bai Yu and the others. After all, Bai Yu and the others did not live here, and the city was Da E's business.
Bai Yu and his group are only staying here briefly. They will leave in the next day or two at most, and their next destination is the outer waters of the Bering Strait.
According to what Bai Yu learned from Heng Ke, it is best to avoid going to the Bering Strait in the next two months. The reason is very simple: some parts of the Arctic Circle have melted, and there is floating ice on the sea surface.
Furthermore, many of the Arctic ice floes drift across the Bering Strait to the Pacific Ocean, making it extremely dangerous to sail near the Bering Strait at this time.
For other large vessels, such as icebreakers and large fishing boats, these ice floes would not have a significant impact.
However, Bai Yu and his group were only on a yacht, which was not as well-defended as other large ships.
Bai Yu always considered himself a very obedient person. Since others advised against going to the Bering Strait at this time, they would listen to their advice and not go. Fishing on the outskirts was fine too.
Bai Yu and the others then began preparations for their voyage.
Bai Yu was very interested in this voyage, after all, it was the Bering Strait. They had planned to come here last year, but they couldn't because of some other reasons.
Now that they've come here again, they're bound to have a good time here, and they're also planning to catch a few king crabs or snow crabs to try.
As for fishing, I've heard that the cod in the Bering Strait is quite good. It's a high-end product, the kind that can sell for over a hundred yuan per kilogram.
Moreover, genuine cod from the Bering Strait, or rather, cod from the Arctic Circle, is in such high demand and short supply in our area that there are now many fake cod products on the market.
These days even cod can be faked.
Besides cod, the Bering Strait is also rich in marine fish resources, including herring, ribbonfish, saury, various types of flounder, and halibut.
In addition, the Bering Strait is a paradise for invertebrates, with a great variety of marine life such as jellyfish, squid, and octopus.
The local produce is exceptionally abundant, making it relatively easy to make a living from fishery resources.
The only downside is that the environment here is quite harsh, and there isn't much time each year when we can safely conduct marine operations.
Especially in the area of catching king crabs, there are not only time restrictions, but also quantity restrictions.
Although Bai Yu and his group arrived at the wrong time this time, they still have connections and were able to obtain a fishing license from the association.
Although the fishing license is time-limited, its only purpose is to let Bai Yu and his team experience catching king crabs; it serves no other function.
These days, you really need connections to get by in society; otherwise, you really can't accomplish anything.
Just like this time, if Bai Yu and his group didn't know Heng Ke and couldn't get the temporary fishing permit from him, then their trip would have been in vain, and they definitely wouldn't have been able to try catching king crabs.
Now it's different. When they go out to sea, it's legal fishing, so they don't have to worry about being caught. They've even prepared crab traps.
Bai Yu and his team prepared two types of crab traps. One type is the kind of crab trap that we use to catch crabs at home, and this type of crab trap is not very big.
Of course, this isn't a very big crab trap suitable for catching king crabs; in fact, this crab trap is over a meter long and nearly two meters in diameter.
Another type of crab trap is specifically designed for catching king crabs. This was prepared by Hengke for them, and there are only five of them, so that Bai Yu and the others can experience it.
However, Bai Yu and the others need to return these crab traps when they leave the goose area, since these crab traps are not cheap, each costing nearly a thousand US dollars.
However, Hengke didn't specify a location for returning the crab traps; he just said any port within the area would be fine, and he could just give him a call when the time came.
With all preparations complete and fuel and supplies replenished, they are ready to set sail for maritime operations at any time.
As the date approached March 25, 2023, the yacht, with everything ready, slowly set off and headed towards the Bering Strait.
"Bering Strait, fisherman, do you think we can catch fish there? We're getting closer and closer to the Arctic Circle now, it's really cold."
On the deck of the yacht, Bai Yu and the others stood looking at the sea not far away. Everyone was filled with curiosity and trepidation.
Li Shuang was unaware of this trip, as it was their first time here and their previous knowledge of the area was limited to hearsay. This was the first time they had actually seen the Bering Strait.
Just as Li Shuang worried, he was unsure whether they would gain anything from this trip or make any money from it.
If they don't make any money, it would be a disaster for them, and their round-the-world trip might have to end there.
Because they are out of money. All their savings combined amount to just over 20,000 yuan.
If this money were used to buy some daily necessities, it would be enough. No, it might not even be enough to buy daily necessities.
Keep in mind that they're not in China right now, but in the Far East region of the Goose Kingdom. This is a remote area where resources are extremely scarce, and prices are naturally very high.
Especially vegetables, the prices here are very high, but we can't live without them, so we can't cut back on this expense.
Twenty thousand yuan can buy a lot of supplies in our family, but not here. Once you've bought all the necessities, forget about gas; there's no way you'll have any money left for gas.
When asked about this question by Li Shuang, Bai Yu said he wasn't flustered at all. The reason for his calmness was simple: he had already opened the car.
The reason for choosing to set sail today was because Bai Yu decided after looking at the luck value panel, and then he decided to set sail.
Today his luck stat is exceptionally high, reaching a staggering 113 points thanks to various boosts, which is already above 100 points.
With such a high luck rating, Bai Yu didn't believe that he could go fishing at sea and end up coming home empty-handed.
That's absolutely impossible.
Judging from his luck today, whatever he does, he's bound to have a good outcome. A huge success is even possible, and a very high possibility at that.
However, Bai Yu couldn't discuss this matter openly with Li Shuang and the others, so she could only have a brief chat and share her understanding of the Bering Strait.
Here they have many ways to fish and make a profit, and their yachts have a lot of fishing equipment.
They also have all sorts of fishing rods, fishing lines, crab traps, gillnets, and even a small trawl net, though they don't need it on the yacht.
So from this perspective, whether considering luck or hardware, they have almost no chance of getting air support this time.
Unless they're cursed with bad luck!
