All around was an endless expanse of sea, where the sky and sea met in a single color.
Without a GPS device, finding a cargo ship in this vast ocean would be no easy task.
In the past, ships could only use sextants and compasses to determine direction when sailing at sea, relying entirely on the captain's experience and intuition for navigation.
By the 1980s, locators had already begun to be used on fishing boats.
The main models include the DXS-B hyperbolic time difference positioning device (Fanglan A system receiver) produced by Xiamen Fisheries College and the RK-100 positioning device (Roland receiver) produced by Dengzhou Marine Fisheries Company.
With a GPS locator, navigation becomes much easier, greatly reducing the risk of getting lost.
However, small trawlers that operate in coastal waters and return on the same day generally do not carry this thing.
Just like their previous ship, the Rising Sun, which didn't have one, they still used a compass.
It's not that we don't need it, it's just that the compass is too cost-effective.
In fact, positioning devices are just a transitional product and will soon be phased out.
By 1995, it will be completely replaced by satellite navigation systems.
At the same time, the Harvest also finished hauling in the nets, turned around, and headed in the same direction.
The two ships, one in front of the other, maintained a certain distance as they sailed across the vast sea.
The afternoon sun was blazing, and although the sea breeze brought some relief from the heat during the voyage, the deck was still sweltering.
However, no one had time to think about these things; everyone was immersed in the joy of the harvest.
They didn't even bother to eat lunch, and no one complained of being hungry.
They were simply busy sorting the fish and moving them into the fish hold...
