Chapter 757

Columbus friendship is about fifteen or six meters long. It is a large ship in the sailboat. This kind of ship is usually between two meters and 22 meters.

The ship uses a triangular sail, that is, a longitudinal sail as the power. The triangular sail is a sail that can rotate back and forth. It can rotate back and forth and is easy to operate. It can be used in both Shunfeng and upwind, and is less affected by the wind direction.

Triangular sail is not as useful as cross sail when downwind, but it has strong sailing ability when upwind. It is a real hydrodynamic propulsion device and the first choice for all long-distance sailing ships.

Seeing Qin Shiou and others curious about the sailboat, Celia invited them on board to visit, explained to them all parts of the ship and introduced some small stories on board.

On board, Qin Shiou found that there was a puppet cat on board. Celia picked it up and said, "this is the little guy we adopted in Japan. Its name is caicaizi. Isn't it very cute?"

After visiting the sailboat, a group of people went ashore. As soon as the puppet cat appeared, it was besieged and suppressed by tigers, leopards and two little bullies. As expected, the cats and dogs couldn't meet. When the little guys saw the puppet cat, they were full of energy and tried every means to get it.

The puppet cat has also seen great winds and waves. Although it looks cute, its combat effectiveness is quite explosive. One take-off unexpectedly jumped on the tiger's back. The tiger struggled hard, but he couldn't get rid of it.

Qin Shiou whistled. The tiger and the leopard calmed down and sat down quickly.

Celia picked up the puppet cat and said, "the vegetable has a strong balance. Even in the face of wind and waves, it can crawl freely on the mast. It's very powerful."

It was already evening, so Qin Shiou invited two people to dinner. Anyway, it was not a problem to entertain Mao Weilong's family.

Garcia and Celia refused and didn't insist. However, Garcia said that he came to cook and introduced himself that he learned a lot of special dishes from various countries on the way around the world. Please try Qin Shiou and other personalities.

Celia chatted with the group and introduced herself by the way.

"We both used to work in Barcelona, which is a beautiful city, but we work all day and usually discuss houses, cars and money. Finally one day, we were tired of such a life and decided to resign and go around the world."

"At first, we were afraid because we didn't have much money. We were all working-class people. Driving a sailboat around the world could only be a dream. But after the birth of this dream, we can't stop its growth. Finally, one day, we both can't help it. We must go around the world! "

"Later, we sold our house and car and borrowed money from some friends. Only then did we buy the Columbus friendship. Fortunately, we all have a group of great friends. When we put forward our dream of traveling around the world, we got their support. They all trusted to lend us their savings. "

"In this way, we started our journey around the world from Spain. Isn't it silly?"

"No, it's fantastic. You're great!" Winnie said sincerely, "I once had such a dream, but I never put it into action. To tell you the truth, I envy you both very much."

Liu Shuyan also showed longing on his face and said, "traveling around the world may suffer a lot, but it's really a beautiful thing."

Qin Shiou asked while making fried fish, "what about your expenses on the road?"

"It's all earned by working. We're not rich children playing around the world. We only completed two-thirds of the global trip, but it's taken us two and a half years. We spend a lot of time working on the road. For example, we know Chinese because we learned it when we worked in a hotel 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 have never had such a dream? But how many have really done it? After all, we have to support our families and be responsible for our parents and family. Many dreams are just dreams and will never become a reality.

Wang Lei and Yao Lili, who sat listening, looked yearning on their faces. They looked at each other, and then shook their hands.

Qin Shiou can't understand what they mean when they look like this? Obviously moved by Celia and Garcia, he hurriedly asked, "Hi, Celia, you must have encountered a lot of difficulties on the way? It's not easy to sail a sailboat at sea. "

He doesn't want to break Wang Lei's dream, but wants to tell them that it doesn't sound so beautiful. There are too many things to consider!

"Of course, we have encountered too much bitterness." Celia recalled, "for example, we spent a month learning to use emergency electric buoy, satellite navigation system, VHF radio and other equipment before we set out. Of course, we should learn how to operate sailboats and obtain RYA certification. It's not easy."

"In addition, we often have to climb a 20 meter high mast to check the canvas, which needs people who are not afraid of height."

Winnie looked at Qin Shiou and said with a helpless smile, "it's over. If we want to travel around the world, I have to do this job."

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

Celia looked at him with a smile and said, "in fact, there are many more. For example, to understand medical knowledge, to know what drugs, vaccines and even small surgical tools to prepare for each place."

"Also, you can't always eat fish at sea. You have to buy dozens of kilograms of flour to make your own pastries. You can't carry fresh milk on board. You have to make your own cheese before going to sea. You can't just buy it. The price is too expensive. "

"Convenience on board is also a big problem. There is no toilet on board; Bathing with fresh water on board is also a problem. There are many others. If I list them one by one, it will take two days. "

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

Traveling around the world, Celia's vision is different from that of ordinary people. At least she has great ability to know people. She can see Wang Lei's reverie and that they are not wild adventurers. If she encourages them to go to sea, she will let them die.

So Celia hurriedly said, "there's one thing I haven't said, that's the wind and waves on the sea! For example, a few days ago, we encountered a terrible tropical cyclone off the coast of New York. If we hadn't entered the port in time, our ship would have sunk to the bottom of the sea! There are so many such situations that we have to fight the waves almost every day and have a chance to shake hands with death once a week! "

At this time, the tiger and the leopard jumped up and looked warily at the door. Then a Toyota Camry drove in.

Qin Shiou nodded when he saw that it was Hamley's car. The tiger and leopard fell down again and stared at the puppet cat fiercely.

The puppet cat looks contemptuous. Have you seen the Pacific Ocean? Have you seen the Indian Ocean? Do you know that Chinese people eat dog meat instead of cat meat? Dare you fight me with this insight? Funny!
