After another hour of being tossed about in the waves, we finally saw a protrusion on the sea ahead, appearing and disappearing in the wind and rain.
Clearly, that was the island Feng Xuan was talking about.
Feng Ye's worries were temporarily relieved.
Once you get to the island, at least your personal safety will no longer be an issue.
After everyone in the cabin noticed the ship was turning, Du Yulin lay down by the door and peered ahead.
Then we saw an island and knew we would have to stop there to avoid the storm.
When he told the others the news, everyone's faces lit up with joy and their spirits lifted.
The hour-long rough seas made them suffer greatly.
Everyone struggled to their feet, leaned against the wall, walked to the doorway, and peered out.
The island appeared somewhat hazy in the wind and rain, but its outline could still be vaguely discerned.
Ye Chenliang, in particular, was so excited that he almost burst into tears.
Finally, I don't have to suffer like this anymore.
As the Dong Sheng continued its journey, the island gradually enlarged in everyone's eyes, and its outline became clearer and clearer.
As they got closer to the island, Feng Ye began to slow the boat down.
The typhoon came from the southeast, so it definitely can't stop in this direction; the wind and waves would be extremely high.
Moreover, the area is full of reefs, many of which are submerged by the surging waves and are completely obscured. It's very dangerous to accidentally bump into one.
It would be best to go around to the back, that is, to the northwest, and find a convenient docking point to disembark.
Feng Ye pondered this in his mind, adjusting the course while observing the terrain of the island.
When the Dong Sheng ship sailed due north, he was instantly overjoyed.
This island is actually shaped like a "C", with a small lagoon in the middle and the outlet facing due north.
The other three directions are surrounded by mountains, which effectively block the typhoon coming from the southeast.
This is a natural haven.
Feng Ye immediately turned the rudder and steered the Dong Sheng toward the entrance of the lagoon.
On the Harvest ship that followed behind, Xiao Zhaojun was also filled with the same mix of surprise and joy.
He never expected that there would be such a perfect sheltered place nearby.
He immediately adjusted his course and followed closely behind into the lagoon.
As the boat slowly entered the lagoon, the sea breeze that had been whistling incessantly subsided considerably.
The waves on the sea were no longer so turbulent, but had become relatively calm.
Apart from the torrential rain still pouring down, making a crackling sound as it hit the boat, nothing else seemed to affect them.
The surrounding mountains act as a natural barrier, keeping the raging sea winds out.
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief, and their tense nerves finally relaxed.
Ignoring the heavy rain outside, everyone rushed onto the deck, cheering and jumping for joy.
"We're safe! We're safe! We don't have to worry about that damn typhoon anymore!"
"This island is a great choice; it's practically a natural haven."
"It's just too perfect..."
"I was thinking about finding an island to avoid the storm, but I didn't expect Ah Ye and the others to have the same idea."
"Damn it, I feel a little better now."
Ye Chenliang patted his chest, "I've been out to sea twice and I've thrown up both times. Especially this time, I thought I was going to die here."
His face was still a little pale, but it was much better than before.
"Haha, it's just a little storm, the typhoon hasn't even arrived yet."
"Yes, when the typhoon actually comes, that will be really exciting."
"After experiencing it a few more times, you'll get used to it, and your seasickness will be cured."
"Do it a few more times, this is enough for me..."
With the security threat gone, everyone feels relaxed and in the mood to joke and laugh.
Feng Ye found a spot on the shore where the water was deep enough, stopped the boat, put on his raincoat, and went down into the water.
He didn't want to get soaked like them.
Actually, raincoats are always kept on board, and everyone has a set, so that they can work even when it's drizzling.
"Everyone, don't get off the boat. Just sleep on the boat tonight. There shouldn't be any need to go to the island."
Although the lagoon is relatively calm now with little wind and waves, it will still have some impact when a typhoon passes through.
However, the impact should not be significant.
The key issue is that there's nowhere to take shelter from the rain on the island, and it's uncertain when the rain will stop, so it's better to stay on the boat.
"OK."
"Come with me now to check the condition of the fish hold; it looks like it needs some cleaning up."
Feng Ye led the group toward the fish hold.
As soon as the hatch was opened, a strong fishy smell mixed with a sour stench hit the nose.
The situation inside the fish hold was worse than they had anticipated.
The fish, which had been sorted and neatly arranged in baskets, were now scattered and mixed together, lying in disarray.
"Everyone, get to work and sort these fish back into baskets."
"good."
After a lot of work, everyone finally managed to clean up the messy fish hold and put everything back in its proper place.
Immediately afterwards, they went to the cabin to clean up Ye Chenliang's vomit.
Feng Ye then checked the other facilities on the ship and, after confirming that there was no damage, returned to the bridge with peace of mind.
Today was a close call, but thankfully nothing serious happened.
Once the typhoon passes, we can continue our journey.
However, it's unclear when the waves will subside.
Let's stop here for the night and see how things go tomorrow before making any further plans.
