    The Columbus Friendship is about fifteen or six meters long, which is the largest among sailboats. This type of ship is generally between two and twenty-two meters long.

    This ship uses a jib, that is, a longitudinal sail, as power. The jib is a sail that can rotate back and forth. It can be rotated back and forth and is easy to operate. It can be used against the wind and is less affected by the wind direction.

    The spinnaker is not as useful as the square sail when going downwind, but it has strong sailing ability when going upwind. It is a true hydrodynamic propulsion device and is the first choice for all long-distance sailing sailing boats.

    Seeing that Qin Shiou and others were curious about the sailboat, Celia invited them to board the boat for a tour, explaining to them various parts of the boat and introducing some short stories about what happened on the boat.

    After getting on the ship, Qin Shiou discovered that there was a ragdoll cat on the ship. Celia picked it up and said, "This is the little guy we adopted when we were in Japan. His name is Nanako. Isn't he cute?"

    After visiting the sailboat, a group of people went ashore. As a result, the Ragdoll cat showed up and was surrounded by tigers, leopards and two little bullies. As expected, cats and dogs cannot meet. When the little guys saw the Ragdoll cat, they immediately became energetic and tried every means to get it.  it.

    The ragdoll cat has also experienced strong winds and waves. Although it looks cute, its fighting ability is quite explosive. It jumped onto Huzi's back with one jump. Huzi struggled hard but was unable to get rid of it.

    Qin Shiou whistled, and the tiger and leopard calmed down and hurriedly sat down and looked good-naturedly.

    Celia picked up the ragdoll cat and introduced: "Nanako has a strong balance. Even if it encounters wind and waves, it can crawl freely on the mast. It is very powerful."

    It happened to be evening, so Qin Shiou invited the two of them to have dinner. Anyway, he had to entertain Mao Weilong's family, so it wouldn't be a problem to add two more people.

    Garcia and Celia declined for a few words before insisting, but Garcia said he was here to cook and introduced himself that he had learned a lot of specialties from various countries while traveling around the world, and asked Qin Shiou and others to taste them.

    Celia chatted with the group and introduced themselves.

    "Both of us used to work in Barcelona, ??which is a beautiful city, but we worked all day long and usually talked about houses, cars and money. Finally one day we were tired of this life and decided to resign and go see the world.  look."

    "We were scared at first because we didn't have a lot of money and we were both working-class people. It was only a dream to sail around the world on a sailboat. But after the birth of this dream, we couldn't stop its growth. Finally one day, the two of us  I can¡¯t help it anymore, I must go around the world!¡±

    "Later, we sold our house and car, borrowed money from some friends, and then bought the Columbus Friendship. Fortunately, we all have a group of great friends, and we got them when we proposed the dream of traveling around the world.  They all trusted us and lent us their savings.¡±

    ¡°That¡¯s it, we started our journey around the world from Spain. Isn¡¯t it silly?¡±

    "No, it's too dreamy, you guys are great!" Winnie said sincerely, "I once had such a dream, but I never put it into action. To be honest, I envy you two very much."

    Liu Shuyan also showed yearning on her face and said: "Traveling around the world may involve a lot of hardships, but it is indeed a beautiful thing."

    Qin Shiou asked while cooking fried fish: "What about your expenses on the road?"

    "We earned it all by working part-time. We are not rich kids traveling around the world. We have only completed two-thirds of this global trip, but it has already taken two and a half years, and we spent a lot of time working on the road.  For example, we know Chinese because we learned it while working in a restaurant when we were in Xiamen." Celia smiled.

    Qin Shiou really admired them.

    He also had the dream of traveling around the world. How many urban white-collar workers today have never had such a dream?  But how many of them actually did it?  After all, we have to support our families and are responsible for our parents and family. Many dreams are just dreams and will never become reality.

    Wang Lei and Yao Lili, who were sitting aside and listening, had longing expressions on their faces. They looked at each other and then held hands.

    Qin Shiou couldn't understand what they meant when he saw them like this?  Obviously moved by Celia and Garcia, he quickly asked: "Hi, Celia, you must have encountered a lot of difficulties on the road, right? Driving a sailboat adrift on the sea is not easy."

    He didn¡¯t want to break the dreams of Wang Lei and Wang Lei, but he wanted to tell them that this matter is by no means as beautiful as it sounds, and there are too many things to consider!

      "Of course, we encountered too many ups and downs." Celia recalled, "For example, we spent a month learning to use emergency buoys, satellite navigation systems, VHF radios and other equipment before departure.  , of course, you also need to learn how to operate a sailboat and obtain the RYA certification, which is not easy."

    ¡°In addition, we often have to climb a twenty-meter-high mast to inspect the canvas, which requires people who are not afraid of heights to do this.¡±

    Wei Ni looked at Qin Shiou and smiled helplessly: "It's over, if we want to travel around the world, then I have to do this."

    "Are there any other troubles?" Wang Lei asked.

    Celia looked at him with a smile and said: "Actually, there are many more. For example, you need to understand medical knowledge, know what medicines and vaccines you need to prepare every time you go to a place, and you even need to prepare minor surgical equipment."

    "Also, you can't always eat fish at sea. You have to buy dozens of kilograms of flour to make homemade pasta. You can't carry fresh milk on the ship, so you have to make homemade cheese every time you go to sea. You can't just buy it, it's too expensive.  .¡±

    "Convenience on the ship is also a big problem. There is no flush toilet on the ship; using fresh water to bathe on the ship is also a problem. There are many more. If I listed them one by one, it would take two days."

    After hearing what Celia said, Wang Lei and Yao Lili hesitated.

    Having traveled around the world, Celia's vision is different from that of ordinary people. At least her ability to recognize people is very good. She could see the daydreams of Wang Lei and the two of them, and she also saw that they were not the kind of wild adventurers. If they were encouraged,  If two people go to sea, they will die.

    So Celia hurriedly said: "There is one thing that I haven't mentioned yet, and that is the storm at sea! For example, we encountered a terrible tropical cyclone off the coast of New York a few days ago. If we had not entered the port in time, our ship would have been destroyed at that time.  It will sink to the bottom of the sea! And there are too many such situations. We have to fight against the waves almost every day, and we have a chance to shake hands with death once a week!"

    At this time, Huzi and Leopard jumped up and looked at the door warily, and then a Toyota Camry drove in.

    Qin Shiou nodded as soon as he saw it was Hamley's car. Huzi and Leopard lay down again, staring at the Ragdoll cat fiercely.

    The Ragdoll cat had a look of contempt on his face, ¡°Hey, have you ever seen the Pacific Ocean?¡±  Have you ever seen the Indian Ocean?  Did you know that Chinese people eat dog meat instead of cat meat?  With this knowledge, you still dare to fight with me?  funny!  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
