The Columbus Friendship is about 15 to 16 meters long, which is a large sailing ship, and this kind of ship is generally between 2 meters and 22 meters. http://www.vodtw.com

This ship is powered by a jib, that is, a schooner. A jib is a sail that can be rotated back and forth. It can be rotated back and forth, and is easy to operate.

The jib is not as useful downwind as a squaresail, but very capable upwind and a true hydrodynamic propulsion device, the jib is the first choice for all long-distance sailing boats.

Seeing that Qin Shiou and others were curious about the sailing boat, Celia invited them to visit the boat, explaining the various parts of the boat and introducing some short stories that happened on the boat.

It was only after getting on the boat that Qin Shiou discovered that there was a puppet cat on board. Celia picked it up and said, "This is the little guy we adopted when we were in Japan. It's called Nanako, isn't it cute?"

After visiting the sailboat, a group of people went ashore. As soon as the puppet cat showed up, it was surrounded by tigers, leopards and two little bullies. As expected, the cats and dogs could not see each other. it.

The puppet cat has also experienced strong winds and waves. Although it looks cute, its combat power is quite explosive. It jumped on Huzi's back. Huzi struggled hard and couldn't get rid of it.

Qin Shiou whistled, Huzi and Leopard calmed down, and quickly sat down in a cute manner.

Celia picked up the puppet cat and introduced: "Nanako has a strong balance. Even in the face of wind and waves, it can crawl freely on the mast, which is very powerful."

It happened to be evening, so Qin Shiou invited the two of them to dinner. Anyway, he was going to entertain Mao Weilong's family, so it would not be a problem to add two more people.

Garcia and Celia refused after a few words and did not insist, but Garcia said that he came to cook, and introduced himself that he had learned a lot of special dishes from various countries on the way around the world, and invited Qin Shiou and others to taste it.

Celia chatted with a group of people. By the way, introduce themselves.

"The two of us used to work in Barcelona, ​​which is a beautiful city, but we worked all day long, and we usually discussed houses, cars and banknotes. Finally, one day we both got tired of this kind of life and decided to quit our jobs and go to the world to see Look."

"At first we were scared because we didn't have a lot of money. We were both working class, and sailing around the world on a sailboat was just a dream. But after this dream was born, we couldn't stop it from growing. Finally, one day, the two of us I can’t bear it anymore, I must go around the world!”

"later,

We sold our house and car, borrowed money from some friends, and bought the Columbus Friendship. Thankfully, we all have a great group of friends when we come up with our dream of traveling the world. We got their support, and they trusted us by lending their savings. "

"That's it, we started our trip around the world from Spain, isn't it silly?"

"No, it's too dreamy, you guys are amazing!" Winnie said sincerely, "I used to have such a dream too. 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 suffer a lot, but it is indeed a beautiful thing."

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

"It's all earned by working. We are not rich children who travel around the world. We have only completed two-thirds of this round-the-world trip, but it has been 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 from working in a restaurant when we were in Xiamen." Celia laughed.

Qin Shiou really admired them.

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

Sitting aside and listening, Wang Lei and Yao Lili showed longing looks on their faces. They looked at each other and then held hands.

When Qin Shiou saw them like this, could he not understand what they meant? Obviously moved by Celia and Garcia, he hurriedly asked: "Hey, Celia, you must have encountered many difficulties on the road, right? Driving a sailboat 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 good as it sounds, and there are too many things to consider!

"Of course, we encountered too much bitterness and bitterness." Celia recalled, "For example, we spent a month learning to use emergency electric buoys, satellite navigation systems, VHF radios and other equipment before we set off. , but also to learn how to operate a sailboat and pass the RYA certification, which is not easy.”

"In addition, we often have to climb the 20-meter-high mast to inspect the canvas, which requires people who are not afraid of heights."

Winnie looked at Qin Shiou and said with a helpless smile, "It's over, if we want to travel around the world, then I'll be the one to do it."

"Is there any other trouble?" Wang Lei asked.

Celia looked at him with a smile and said, "Actually, there are many more things, such as understanding medical knowledge, knowing what medicines and vaccines to prepare for each place you go, and even minor surgical tools."

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

"Convenience on board is also a big problem. There are no flush toilets on board; bathing with fresh water on board is also a problem. There are many other problems. If I list them all, it will take two days."

After listening to Celia's words, Wang Lei and Yao Lili hesitated.

After traveling around the world, Celia's vision is different from that of ordinary people. At least she has a great ability to recognize people. She can see the reverie of Wang Lei and the two of them, and also see that they are not the kind of wild adventurers. If you encourage them Two people go to sea, that is to let them die.

So Celia hurriedly said: "There is one more thing that I haven't said, and that is the wind and waves at sea! For example, we encountered a terrible tropical cyclone off the coast of New York a few days ago. If we hadn't entered the port in time, then our ship must have Will sink to the bottom of the sea! And there are too many such situations, almost every day we have to fight against the waves, every week we have a chance to shake hands with death!"

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

Qin Shiou nodded when he saw that it was Hamley's car, Huzi and Leopard got down again and stared fiercely at the puppet cat.

The Ragdoll looked contemptuous, Xiao Mian, have you ever seen the Pacific Ocean? Ever seen the Indian Ocean? Did you know that the Chinese don’t eat cat meat but dog meat? How dare you fight my old lady with this knowledge? funny! (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to vote for recommendations and monthly tickets.
