    227. Set off towards the stars and the sea!

    George Shoal can be said to be the high seas. When the tide is low in winter, you can see patches of beach islands exposed on the sea surface.  The sea water here is very shallow, with the water depth in many waters less than ten meters. Boats must be very careful when traveling here.

    This sea area is located at a node at the intersection of the Atlantic Cold Current and the Gulf Stream. The shallow water allows sunlight to reach the bottom, so the fish food here is particularly rich. There are many plankton and luxuriant seaweed growth, attracting a large number of marine fish to feed here.  .

    Before 1990, the small George Bank could catch 420,000 tons of fish every year under normal circumstances. However, in the past two decades, distant water fishing vessels from the United States and Canada have fished indiscriminately in this area, and the fishery resources have been seriously damaged.

    In order to protect George Shoal, Canada and the United States signed protection regulations, which stipulate that trawlers are not allowed to enter this area. If you want to fish here, you cannot use trawl nets and seine nets, you can only use fishing rods.

    This gives traditional fishermen in Massachusetts and Nova Scotia, Canada, a chance to survive. They are good at fishing for tuna, blue marlin and swordfish with fishing rods.

    The fish market is now relatively good, and precious tuna is in short supply. Although the fishing and hunting season is only three months, if the harvest is good, the fishermen can earn a year's living expenses.

    Qin Shiou sat on the deck chair and browsed the knowledge introduction about George Shoal and tuna. Xiong Zhan lay at his feet timidly, raising his head to look around from time to time, and then quickly lowering his head.

    Dabai¡¯s performance is much better than that of a bear. He is smart and flexible, and occasionally runs to the railing for a spin.

    At this time, Xiong Dabai pulled his head and roared, probably because he was afraid that Dabai would fall and call him back. Dabai was very obedient, and Xiong Dabai ran back when he roared.  After a while, it will jump to the railing again, and the bear will continue to roar, and this cycle continues.

    In the sky, the great warship bird Nimitz finally had a chance to show off his abilities. He stretched his wings to fight against the sky and followed closely above the ship.

    Every time Qin Shiou looked up and saw Nimitz flying over the ship, he couldn't help but laugh. This guy looked a bit like a kite.

    Nelson sailed, and the Seagull towed the Snowball all the way in the ocean, reaching a speed of thirty-two knots, which was close to the limit of the Seagull.

    There is no way, we have to drive quickly, because Farewell Island is a bit far from George Shoal, a full 1,500 kilometers.  At the Seagull's speed, it would take 30 hours to arrive.

    Shaq served Qin Shiou ice wine and reported on the weather in the past few days: "According to the radio notification, the North Atlantic has been calm for the past week. We are very lucky."

    The sea monster who packed up the fishing lines and hooks nodded and said: "That's right. August and September are the mildest seasons in the North Atlantic every year. In October, the sea breeze starts blowing."

    Because trawl nets cannot be carried into George Shoal, the fishing nets on the Seagull have been unloaded, thus freeing up a large space.  A lot of debris was placed there, including buckets of pure water and rolls of fishing line, and the sea monster was sorting out the debris.

    Generally speaking, sailing on the sea takes a short time. There are sea breezes, waves, and seabirds, and it looks very emotional.  But after a long time, it became boring. The sea breeze blew back and forth, and it seemed that there was no sea or sea. As we entered the deep sea, the seabirds would disappear.

    Qin Shiou didn't feel this way, maybe because of the influence of Poseidon's Heart, he had a different kind of emotion towards the ocean. As long as he saw the vast and vast sea, he felt inexplicable joy, as if all his worries were gone.

    By the way, he doesn¡¯t have anything to worry about now.

    The yacht was sailing on the sea for a whole day. At noon, Qin Shiou fried a portion of curry cabbage, paired with spicy cabbage and spicy sausage prepared in advance, and the group's mouths were full of oil.

    Sailing at sea is boring and will inevitably affect your mood, so the meals prepared are mainly spicy, which is convenient for appetizing.

    Qin Shiou asked the group how they felt. As long as Ivoson had food, there would be no problem. Nelson was very happy listening to music all the way. Shaq and Kraken laughed: "This is trivial, boss, we both have done it."  Ocean sailors, the longest they¡¯ve ever been at sea is eight months!¡±

    ¡°Compared to the hard work of ocean fishing, taking the Seagull is simply a comfortable vacation. The cabin has a living room and a 62-inch giant LCD TV.  There is a satellite receiver on the roof of the yacht, which can even receive adult TV stations, so you can watch TV when you have nothing to do.

    In the evening, the circle of fishing rods hung by the sea monster on the Snowball fishing boat was effective. Four squid were caught, and two big sea snake-like guys, American eels, were caught.

    These two American eels are one big and one small. The big one has two.It is half a meter long and as thick as a sea bowl, and is estimated to weigh fifteen or six kilograms.  The small one is about one and a half meters long and weighs about ten kilograms.

    The sea monster touched the belly of the American eel, carefully picked the struggling American eel off the hook, and said to Qin Shiou: "Boss, this female fish hasn't laid eggs yet, let her go?"  "

    Qin Shiou nodded. He also caught mackerel and cod in the afternoon, which was enough to eat.

    The sea monster put the remaining American eels and squid on the yacht and sighed: "There are fewer and fewer American eels. Now you can only encounter them in the deep sea. On the contrary, they used to live in shallow seas."

    Like its eel relatives, the American eel is a species that lives in rivers and grows in the sea. They will migrate to the river in spring to lay eggs, hatch their offspring, and then go to the sea to survive.

    But the delicious taste of this fish has triggered overfishing by humans. They have designed layers of checkpoints in the rivers where they migrate to capture them.  Later, although the government began to protect them, due to the construction of water conservancy projects, many American eel migration routes were still cut off.

    There is no other way. American eels can only choose to adapt to nature. They lay their eggs in the deep sea to escape predators.  However, habits that have lasted for tens of thousands of years are not easy to change. Many small eels hatched in the sea cannot adapt to the salinity and will die naturally.

    After Qin Shiou understood this, he threw the male American eel back into the sea and said, "We have enough food, so there is no need to deprive this endangered species of its right to survive."

    Shaq and Sea Monster bowed slightly to Qin Shiou, which was a sign of respect from the fishermen.

    You must know that the meat of American eels is delicious, and the roe is even better. When Qin Shiou first arrived, Shaq even caught small American eels in a bamboo tube for him to eat.  The fish roe is wrapped in eggs and fried. It is so fragrant.

    At that time, Qin Shiou did not know the living conditions of this creature, otherwise he would not have eaten all those fish.

    Qin Shiou was able to resist the temptation of delicious food and release these two American eels one after another, which was enough to make the two old fishermen feel respected.

    For dinner, Shaq cooked some large squid and cooked them on a teppanyaki.  Spread sauce on the squid, sprinkle with sesame salt, and pair it with ice-cold beer. Watching the sun set over the ocean is a different kind of enjoyment.

    One day and one night, at 4:30 in the morning, the morning sun had just appeared in the east, and the Seagull's radio station sounded an inquiry: "Trawl yacht azw-1188, trawl yacht azw-1188, this is Halifax Coast Patrol No. 12  Helicopter, please answer if you hear it, please answer if you hear it."
