Columbus Friendship is about fifteen or six meters in length. In sailboats, this is a large one. This type of ship is generally between two meters and 22 meters in length.

  This ship uses a spinnaker, that is, a vertical sail. The spinnaker is a sail that can rotate back and forth. It can be rotated back and forth and is easy to operate. SF Express can be used against wind, and it is less affected by the wind direction.

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

  Looking at Qin Shiou and others curious about the sailing ship, Celia invited them to visit the ship, and explained the various parts of the ship and introduced some small stories that happened on the ship.

  On board the ship, Qin Shiou discovered that there was still 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?”

I visited the sailing boat and a group of people came ashore. As a result, when the puppet cat appeared, he was surrounded by a tiger, a leopard and two little bullies. The cat and dog really couldn't meet. The little guys immediately became excited when they saw the puppet cat. It.

  The puppet cat has also seen strong winds and waves. Although it looks cute, its combat power is quite explosive. A take-off jumped to Hu Zi's back. Hu Zi struggled hard and couldn't get rid of it.

  Qin Shiou blew a whistle, and Huzi and Leopard came down honestly, and quickly sat down with a cute look.

   Celia picked up the puppet cat and introduced: "Nanako's balance is very strong. Even if it encounters wind and waves, it can crawl freely on the mast. Very powerful."

  It happened to be evening, and Qin Shiou invited two people to dinner. Anyway, he was going to entertain Mao Weilong's family. It was fine to add two more people.

  Garcia and Celia declined a few words but did not insist. However, Garcia said that he came to cook and introduced himself that he learned a lot of specialties from various countries on the way around the world. Please Qin Shiou and others to taste it.

   Celia chatted with a group of people and introduced themselves by the way.

"We both worked in Barcelona. It was a beautiful city, but we worked all day, and we usually discussed houses, cars and banknotes. Finally one day we were tired of this kind of life, so we decided to resign and go to the world. Look."

"At first we were very scared because we didn’t have a lot of money and we were all working class. Driving a sailing boat around the world can only be a dream. But after this dream was born, we could not contain its growth. Finally, one day, we two I can't help it anymore, I must go around the world!"

"Later, we sold our houses and cars and asked some friends to borrow money, and then we bought the Columbus Friendship. Fortunately. We all have a great group of friends. When we proposed the dream of traveling around the world, we got them. They all trusted us to lend their deposits to us."

   "In this way, we started a global tour from Spain. Isn't it silly?"

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

  Liu Shuyan also showed longing for his face, saying: “Traveling around the world may suffer a lot, but it is indeed a beautiful thing.”

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

"It's all earned by working. We are not the children of rich families who travel around the world. We have only completed two-thirds of this global journey. But it has been two and a half years, and a lot of time is spent working on the road. For example, we understand Chinese because we learned by working in a restaurant when we were in Xiamen." Celia laughed.

  Qin Shiou really admires them.

  He also had the dream of traveling around the world. How many urban white-collar workers have not had such a dream? But how many really did it? After all, you have to support your family and be responsible to your parents and family. Many dreams are just dreams and will never become reality.

  Wang Lei and Yao Lili, who were sitting aside listening, showed yearning expressions on their faces. The two 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, she hurriedly asked: "Hi, Celia, you must have encountered a lot of difficulties on the road? It is not easy to drive a sailboat drifting on the sea."

  He didn’t want to break the dream of Wang Lei, but wanted to tell them that this incident is by no means as good as it sounds, and there are too many things to consider!

"Of course, we encountered too much bitterness." Celia recalled, "For example, we spent a month learning to use emergency buoys, satellite navigation systems, VHF radios and other equipment before we set off. Of course , It’s not easy to learn how to operate a sailboat and get RYA certification."

  “In addition, we often have to climb a 20-meter-high mast to check the canvas. This requires people who are not afraid of heights to do it.”

  Weini looked at Qin Shiou and smiled helplessly: "It's over, if we want to travel around the world, then I will do it."

   "Any other troubles?" Wang Lei asked.

Celia looked at him with a smile, and said, "In fact, there are many more, such as understanding medical knowledge, knowing what medicines, vaccines, and even minor surgical equipment are needed for every place you go to."

"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 board, so you have to make homemade cheese every time you go to sea. You can't just buy it. The price is too expensive. ."

  "Convenience on the boat is also a big problem. There is no flush toilet on the boat. It is also a problem to use fresh water to bathe on the boat. There are many more. If I list them all, 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 ordinary people. At least she has a great ability to recognize people. She can see the fantasies of Wang Lei and they are not the kind of adventurers full of wildness. If they are encouraged Two people go to sea, that is to send them to death.

So Celia hurriedly said: "There is one more thing left unsaid, that is sea storms! For example, we encountered a terrible tropical cyclone off New York a few days ago. If we did not enter the port in time, then our ship must have been It will sink to the bottom of the sea! There are too many situations like this. We have to fight the waves almost every day, and we have to shake hands with the **** of death once a week!"

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

  Qin Shiou nodded as soon as he saw Hamley’s car. Huzi and Leopard lay down again, staring at the puppet cat fiercely.

  The puppet cat has a contemptuous face, a demo, have you seen the Pacific Ocean? Have you seen the Indian Ocean? Do you know that Chinese people eat dog meat if they don’t eat cat meat? Even with this knowledge, dare to fight the old lady? Hilarious! (To be continued~^~)
