With two more people on board, the workload was greatly reduced, and efficiency was significantly higher.
In less than an hour, the goods that had been hauled up were sorted, and the deck was also cleaned up.
When it came time to haul in the second net, Xiao Guowen and his two companions weren't too surprised.
As the number of raids increased, just as Ah-Can had said, they became numb to it all.
After lunch, we switched to boating on Xiaoyun Lake.
Sailing a boat is actually a very simple thing; anyone can learn it quickly.
Of course, it's just that they know how to drive.
Moreover, it is limited to calm seas and daytime sailing on the open sea.
In situations like rough seas, when approaching or leaving the shore, or at night, novice drivers shouldn't be allowed to drive; they need to have some experience.
Although there are many ships on the sea now, it is quite busy.
However, everyone is maintaining a safe distance while operating, and there are established flight paths. They don't wander around randomly, so it's not a problem for a novice to drive.
Moreover, he was specifically instructed to call for help immediately if he encountered any problems.
Feng Ye didn't really like sailing; he was too bored in the wheelhouse by himself, with no one to talk to.
He preferred to work, sorting the catch.
Of course, the premise is that you don't get too tired.
If it were like the past few days, working non-stop, I really couldn't take it.
Now that things are much easier and he has time to rest, he's even less inclined to sail.
Since both Xiao Yunhu and Du Minhui were interested in learning how to drive a boat, they decided to let them take turns practicing.
As for Xiao Guowen and A-Can, who is always enthusiastic about sailing, it depends on their own wishes.
Anyway, he doesn't want to drive.
...
The four chatted about all sorts of things while sorting through a net full of fish weighing over 700 jin (350 kg) that they had just hauled up.
Suddenly, Xiao Yunhu in the driver's seat shouted, "Look! There seems to be something on the sea over there!"
Feng Ye was startled and immediately stood up, looking in the direction Xiao Yunhu pointed.
On the sea in front of his father's boat, there was a grayish-green thing floating.
It looks like it can move, but it's not very fast.
Just like a woman with bound feet walking – slowly and hesitantly.
He craned his neck and squinted, trying to get a better look, but because of the distance, he couldn't see very clearly.
The waves on the sea were not large, but they were not absent either. They rose and fell, and with the reflection of the sunlight, they were indistinguishable.
The other three also stood up and looked over curiously, and immediately noticed the unusual place as well.
"I'll go start the boat."
As Ah-Can spoke, he quickly walked towards the driver's seat.
He didn't trust Xiao Yunhu to drive the ship, especially since it required adjusting the course and cutting in at an angle.
"OK."
Feng Ye nodded.
Xiao Guowen and Du Minhui, however, excitedly began asking and answering each other's questions.
"Could it be a school of fish?"
"Ah, a school of fish?"
“Yes, you see they move, they don’t look like trash floating on the sea.”
"But it's moving way too slowly! What kind of fish moves so slowly?"
"That's true. But if it's not a school of fish, then what could it be?"
"Hey, aren't there fish that like to float on the surface of the water and bask in the sun? Could this be one?"
"That's possible, flipping... ptooey ptooey ptooey..."
As soon as he uttered the first character of the fish's name, Xiao Guowen immediately spat out several times.
In the sea, saying the word "turn over" is considered unlucky.
Feng Ye's heart skipped a beat, wondering if it really was a sunfish.
Although encountering a sunfish is considered unlucky, you'll always feel uneasy if you don't go and check it out.
What if it's some other kind of fish?
Therefore, he did not speak up to stop Ah Chan from sailing over.
On the other ship, Feng Jialing, in the wheelhouse, was puzzled as he saw the Rising Sun speeding towards him at an angle.
But he didn't have time to think much, so he quickly slowed down and let the Rising Sun pass.
Then it veered slightly off course and accelerated to catch up with the Rising Sun, following the route it had taken earlier.
Feng Ye and the other three stopped sorting their catch and all ran to the bow of the boat, staring curiously at the sea, wanting to see what it was.
As the Rising Sun drew closer, they finally saw what that grayish-green thing was.
"Holy crap, it's a sea turtle!"
"Huh? It's a sea turtle!"
"So many sea turtles, why are they all floating on the surface of the sea?"
"Damn, it turns out to be a group of Pacific olive ridley sea turtles. These things like to sunbathe on the surface of the sea in the afternoon."
There are seven species of sea turtles in the world: green sea turtle, red sea turtle, hawksbill sea turtle, leatherback sea turtle, Pacific olive ridley sea turtle, flatback sea turtle, and Kemp's sea turtle.
my country has the first five types.
The olive ridley sea turtle is the smallest of the seven species of sea turtles. Adult olive ridley sea turtles are between 60 and 70 centimeters in length and generally weigh no more than 40 kilograms.
Their bodies are spindle-shaped, with polygonal plates covering their backs and four pairs of lower edge shields on their bellies, each shield having a small hole at its rear edge.
Its limbs are flat like paddles.
The head, limbs, and back are a dark olive green, while the abdomen is a pale orange-yellow.
They usually eat in the morning.
Their diet includes benthic and floating crustaceans, mollusks, jellyfish and other invertebrates, and occasionally fish eggs, as well as plant-based foods.
In the afternoon, they float on the sea and sunbathe.
Large groups of Pacific olive ridley sea turtles gather together to escape the cold water below and to keep their bodies warm with the help of the sun.
Feng Ye didn't know whether he should be happy or disappointed.
It wasn't an unlucky sunfish; it should have been a cause for celebration.
But sea turtles are now a Class II protected animal, so he doesn't want to catch them no matter how many he encounters, and there's nothing to be happy about.
Xiao Yunhu exclaimed with delight, "Sea turtles are great too! There are so many of them, they must be worth a lot of money."
Xiao Guowen chimed in, "Yes, these sea turtles are quite expensive; it's practically a windfall delivered to our door."
"I'll go get the net."
Du Minhui was a man of action, and he excitedly turned around and ran towards the cabin.
Although the Animal Protection Law has been in effect for more than two years, the vast majority of people are unaware of this law, let alone abide by it.
That's why they were so happy to see the sea turtles and wanted to catch them all.
Sea turtles are rarely seen, and only occasionally can one or two be caught in a trawling net.
Such large-scale appearances are quite rare.
"etc……"
Feng Ye is in a difficult position.
He really didn't want to catch the sea turtle, but with so many fishing boats around, just because he didn't spot it for a while doesn't mean he won't find it forever.
If he doesn't take it, someone else will.
