The sailing of ancient sailing ships is a boring and tedious, but highly technical job.

European navigators or captains of this era, generally, when commuting between Europe and the New World, in addition to considering the wind and climate, they generally also need to consider the influence of ocean currents, such as the Canary Cold Current, the Northern Equatorial Warm Current, and the Gulf of Mexico Warm Current, etc. wait!

Over time, these summed up experiences have gradually formed several fixed routes, and what the captains or navigators on board need to do is to sail along these fixed routes in order to achieve the most economical Save time and effort! The pirates in the Caribbean Sea frequently appear on these important routes.

The sailboats of this era do not have engines or propellers. In fact, most of the sailboats of this era still rely on sea wind to sail, whether it is downwind, headwind or crosswind. In the case of no wind, if you are really in a hurry, you can use a strenuous paddle!

However, generally large sailing sailing ships, especially ocean-going sailing ships such as Galen ships, are generally not equipped with oars. When there is no wind and no ocean currents, they can only float slowly Anyway, the climate of the ocean is changeable, and the wind will come after three or five days at most. These things are already commonplace for the crew who have lived at sea for many years.

However, this kind of extreme wind and ocean current only occurs when exploring new routes or crossing the equatorial windless zone. Otherwise, the captain or navigator must be negligent. In the case of not losing the course, there will never be too many unexpected situations on the channel that has been explored by European navigators, of course, except for encountering pirates!

Today is Anne's second day at sea. After a dusk and night sailing, what follows is the boring life on board.

At this time, the Dreadnought was crossing the equatorial windless belt. Its sails were only lowered on one side, and the other sails were still furled. The sail ran out at a speed of about ten knots! The speed of more than ten knots is already the highest speed that the original Intrepid can reach before the magic reform. Along the way, their sails can also run at high speeds, which is not less scary. Destroy those merchant ships that come across.

At this time, at the rudder on the bridge, only a helmsman from the former navy was manipulating the Intrepid, while Anne, Barsabeau, Norrington and Jack Sparrow were all sitting on the aft terrace, nervous. They looked at each other, and from time to time they looked at the sea below the stern.

Behind them, a group of sailors gathered to watch the excitement, making a noise from time to time!

turn out to be,

Little Annie was holding a fishing competition with the three of them, and in order to make the fishing competition go smoothly, she specially ordered the sailors to furl most of the sails, and little Annie also gave her Tibbers to Throwing it into the pocket of the space saves scaring away the fish!

The two sisters, Cecilia and Christina, were standing next to Anne nervously, helping her prepare the fishing rod and other fishing tackle. Now the second round of fishing competition is about to start. The rules of the competition are very simple: Each person is only allowed to fish once, and the weight of the fish harvested by each other is compared at the end, and the heaviest person wins.

Originally, in the morning, Annie, who was very bored, and Jack Sparrow, who was idle, were engaged in a fishing competition, while Barsabo, who was happy to see the hunter, robbed the helmsman's job. The Dreadnought was at the helm of the ship, while Norrington mixed into the navy room to drink and pass the boring life at sea and the life of a half-captive.

In the morning, the first round of the fishing competition undoubtedly ended with the victory of Captain Jack Sparrow. Because, he actually caught a tuna weighing one hundred and twenty pounds! And what about little Annie? Only one small flying fish was caught, and this flying fish leaped up after being alarmed by the boat, and accidentally jumped into Annie's fishing basket, so it was barely her catch, so it wouldn't end up empty-handed.

After losing the game, little Anne generously fixed an eagle eye spell for Jack Sparrow's telescope, so that it can be used no matter what time and weather, even in the dark or dense fog that can't be seen. , can see farther with it! And, even under normal conditions, it can outperform the best and most refined nautical telescopes by more than three times the viewing distance.

This time, Basabo and Norrington were alarmed. After the enchantment, the ordinary telescope immediately became a nautical treasure that was eagerly passed on!

For a captain, it is simply a priceless existence! Not only can you see farther and clearer, but you can also ignore day and night or bad weather. This is simply a treasure that exists exclusively for sailing! How could they not be jealous?

So, in the second fishing competition in the afternoon, all the captains participated in it without fail!

"Although I don't fish often, but believe me, wild people like you will never understand what kind of existence can be called a fishing master!"

First up was the confident-looking Commodore Norrington, who pulled out his luxurious special boom and used a special custom-made bait.

After he finished taunting the two pirates, he picked up his exquisite fishing rod, and with a graceful flick, he threw the float directly above the sea surface, and then began to wait for the fish to take the bait with peace of mind.

"Just look at it, I use a thick line and a big hook, and I will definitely catch a big one!"

According to the regulations before the start of the competition, each person has only half an hour of fishing time, and the first fish caught is considered the final result, and the next person will be changed immediately!

And if there is no fish hooked for more than half an hour, then the score will be zero! Of course, in order to prevent the witches from cheating, they also agreed not to use any magic or things related to magic!

Although he hadn't fished for a long time, he might be a little raw, but Norrington didn't worry too much. According to his usual fishing experience, when he used bait soaked in special materials, the big guys near this sea area , Within ten to twenty minutes, he will definitely come back to eat the bait and take the bait!

When he was still a captain, when he traveled around the world with a ship, he had already tried countless times, and there was never a big accident!

So, with great confidence, after placing the fishing rod, he sat down leisurely and waited. He had already started to think, if he won later, what prize should he ask the witch for? Is it a magic sail? Or a telescope?

"Hey! Barbossa, do you think this Norrington will catch a big fish?"

After Jack Sparrow saw Norrington's luxurious fishing gear and special bait, it was impossible not to be nervous! That set of gadgets seemed to be very advanced at first glance, and he was a little panicked.

"Fish, I should be able to catch it! But, I don't know if it's big or not...Anyway, it will definitely not be bigger than the one I'm going to catch. I'm very confident in this point!"

Barbossa looked at Norrington's fishing gear indifferently, curled his lips in disdain and said. He had seen the fishing gear of the three of them just now, and now he has the confidence to win, as long as the witch doesn't cheat, he believes that no one will catch bigger and heavier fish than Captain Barbossa!

"Why do you think so? Is there some unlucky knock at the door?"

After hearing what Barbosa said, Jack Sparrow was shocked again. Now it seems that this old guy is not simple. Does the other party have any secrets? So, while retorting unhappily, he twisted his waist and walked to the side of the other party, trying to find out some useful information.

"Hmm! Wait a minute, you will know! Don't worry, it will be soon! Jack, are you right? Hehehe..."

Captain Barbossa ignored Jack's temptation, and teased the monkey on his shoulder who was also named Jack, and began to laugh smugly!

"..."

Great, let's see! The great Captain Jack Sparrow believed that such a small matter as fishing should not trouble him.

After thinking suspiciously for a while, Jack Sparrow looked at Commodore Norrington who was leisurely waiting for the fish to take the bait, and then looked at Basab's confident look behind him. He gritted his teeth, and after some consideration , I immediately changed my fishing rod to a bigger hook and a thicker fishing line!

However, just like this, he still felt that it was not safe, so he sneaked up behind Norrington in small steps while everyone else was paying attention to the sea and no one was paying attention to him.

"Okay! Just watch, now, a fish is hooked!"

When Norrington saw the float on the sea surface began to twist violently and the fishing line began to tighten, he was refreshed and immediately stood up, grabbed the fishing rod, and turned the pulley to slowly take up the fishing line. His experience Tell him it must be a big guy!

"Ha! Did you see it? This is the highest level of fishing!"

As soon as he got the fishing rod in his hand, Norrington nodded in satisfaction. This is undoubtedly a big guy!

After the fishing line was slowly pulled up part of the way, the water surface began to violently turbulent. After seeing the stretched fishing line and the huge fins that occasionally came out of the water, a group of onlookers began to make noises after seeing it.

They also saw it. It seemed that the fish below was indeed a big fish!

"Who will help?"

After more than ten minutes of wrestling, the exhausted big fish was finally pulled onto the deck by Norrington and the sailors. After weighing, it was finally confirmed that it was a big fish weighing 156 pounds. swordfish!

Sure enough, it was a big guy. It seemed that their Brigadier General had already won? So the sailors began to cheer loudly.

"Thank you so much!"

Norrington gracefully bowed to everyone. In his opinion, the 156-pound swordfish is already a sure thing to win. Now, he needs a little time to think about it. Later, what will happen? What kind of prize should I ask for from Little Witch Anne?

"Wow!"

Annie squatted beside the swordfish, kicked the pointed and long sword-like snout on the swordfish's mouth with her round-toed leather shoes, and then sighed a little dejectedly. It seems that her competition this time, If you can't cheat, it seems like you're about to lose again?

"It's not fun at all!"
