Chapter 781 Mei Ni
The next day, it was still sunny and everyone gathered in the lobby to set off. Because Liu Yimei was pregnant and could not go out to sea by boat, Liu Lili stayed in the hotel to accompany her and did not plan to go diving with everyone.
So Bruno took the remaining Vanessa and Liu Yimei's four girlfriends and rushed to the passenger terminal.
Bruno's yacht is the latest model of the famous yacht brand Riva, Riva 88 Florida. As the spiritual successor of Riva Bahamas, the new Riva 88 Florida is an innovative yacht that perfectly combines open yachts and coupe-style yachts on the same yacht. Boat No. 1 was completed and launched at the end of 2014, and held its official world premiere in early 2015.
Riva 88 Florida has cutting-edge technological innovations. For the first time, Ferretti Group has applied an exclusive patent to this new project. The convertible hardtop is an innovative system, which was designed and developed by Ferretti Group's AYT&D department and the Group's technical partners Besenzoni and Centro Stile. It turns the new yacht into a multifunctional yacht: transforming from a coupé to an open yacht or vice versa is achieved in one easy operation. The convertible hardtop system combines three different functions in a single system, as it can control the aerodynamic hardtop in three different positions. This new Riva project has excellent performance and can choose different types of MTU engines.
As a standard version, Riva 88 Florida is equipped with two MTU 196 engines, each with a power of 2638 horsepower, with a maximum speed of 39 knots and a cruising speed of 34 knots, and a range of 315 nautical miles and 340 nautical miles respectively.

Of course, if you want to buy such a top luxury yacht, the money required is also quite high. It cost Bruno 10 million US dollars, and hundreds of thousands of dollars in maintenance costs every year. That is to say, Bruno now has a good income, and Vanessa and Liu Yimei are also rich women, otherwise he would buy such a top luxury yacht while keeping a Gulfstream G550 private jet.
Today, Bruno's annual salary after tax at Manchester United has exceeded 50 million US dollars. With the endorsement fees of more than a dozen endorsement brands, Bruno's actual annual income has exceeded 100 million US dollars, which is truly at the same level as Ronaldo and Yosi.
Although Vanessa is no longer in the entertainment industry, she has become an angel investor. The 50 million pounds she earned from Leicester City's championship has now doubled under Bruno's guidance, and she has become a real billionaire.
As a first-line star in China and a goddess in the hearts of hundreds of millions of Chinese people, Liu Yimei has an annual income of more than 100 million soft girls, which is more than 20 million US dollars when converted into US dollars.
And because he debuted early, after years of accumulation, his total net worth even exceeds Bruno, which is more than 400 million US dollars.
Of course, with Bruno's current income, it will take at most one year to surpass Liu Yimei.
It is precisely because of the high income of the three that such a high level of expenditure can be maintained.
………………
Liu Yan and the other four girls are all celebrities, and naturally they have ridden on yachts before, but it is their first time to ride on a luxury yacht like today, so after getting on board, everyone looked left and right on the yacht, and everything seemed very new.
Bruno was of course responsible for the captain's duties. This white yacht was very luxurious and comfortable, and all the equipment and facilities on the boat were complete. It was not difficult for him to drive this yacht. There was an advanced GPS navigator on the boat, and it was relatively simple to operate.
The Italian who was responsible for handing over the yacht at the dock was the one who drove this yacht from Italy a few days ago. He told Bruno all the details to pay attention to when driving a yacht.
This yacht was jointly purchased by Bruno and his family after they got married last year. The name of the boat is "Meini", which is a character from Vanessa and Liu Yimei's names. It is usually moored at the yacht club in Italy and is rarely used.
This time it crossed the Atlantic Ocean and it took quite a lot of trouble.
As a Riva 88 Florida-class yacht, "Meini" is a large yacht, 26.9 meters long and 6.3 meters wide. It has four luxurious cabins, including a full-beam master cabin, a VIP cabin and two cabins, which can easily accommodate more than 20 passengers, Bruno and Vanessa, Liu Yimei's four girlfriends, and six people. The space is very ample.
………………
After ensuring that everything is correct, Bruno drove the yacht to the destination.
Entering the deep sea, the sea water turned dark blue. It was very clean, and there was almost no garbage and floating objects. The sea and the sky were one color, and the blue waves were vast, giving people a refreshing feeling.
On the channel, the yacht occasionally passed by some fishing boats. The women greeted the fishermen working on the boats one after another, and the fishermen responded to them enthusiastically.
Soon after going out to sea, the women's novelty of the sea disappeared a lot. Everyone came to the cockpit at the same time and asked Bruno to hand over the yacht to them. What could be more fun than this?
Bruno was no match for them, and now they were in the deep sea with no other ships around. Even if they were allowed to rush around here, there was no need to worry too much. So he gave up the captain's position and let An Yi and Tang Yan have their fun.
With the sea breeze blowing, everyone tried to drive the yacht one by one, which was very pleasant.
Fortunately, with GPS navigation, they would not deviate from the route.
After three hours of driving, a small island loomed on the horizon.
"Hey... come and see, there is San Salvador Island ahead!" An Yi ran to the bow of the ship and pointed ahead and shouted excitedly.
When she was driving the yacht just now, she increased the horsepower to the maximum. The "Meini" cut through the obstacles and rode the wind and waves, which was so majestic.
Several girls rushed to the bow of the boat together. They saw seagulls flying in the sky, and it seemed that they would soon reach their destination.
Bruno continued to take the helm, and they had to go to the island to meet the diving instructor first.
………………
Over there, Vanessa flipped through the travel brochure and told everyone that San Salvador Island is one of the easternmost islands in the Bahamas. It is actually the peak of an undersea mountain range that emerges from the water. There are many monuments, ruins and shipwreck sites on the island, reflecting the island's rich and colorful history. The miles of relatively pristine beaches are tucked into the middle of the steep coast. The water is sparkling and clear blue, and divers can see up to 150 feet underwater. The island is dotted with inland lakes, where many relics of the eighteenth-century colonists are waiting to be discovered. There is also a whitewashed Catholic cathedral on the island, which is also a museum.
"It's so strange. Europeans traveled thousands of miles to build churches on this island. What do they want to do? Are there many people living on the island?" Tang Yan asked in confusion.
Although An Yi is the youngest among several girls, her cultural level is the highest. Moreover, she did not study acting in college, but English. She also knows a lot about Western history. After hearing this, she explained : "That was a cultural invasion. As far as I know, in the 19th century In Europe during the 19th century, the Vatican had great power, and at that time the missionaries of the Holy See were promoting their Catholic doctrine all over the world. The Bahamas was a former British colony. In addition to occupying it by force, the British were naturally unavoidable. Cultural and spiritual invasion.”
At this point, she paused and emphasized: "To be precise, this kind of church is more like a stronghold, an outpost of cultural and spiritual aggression by foreign powers!"
"Okay," Vanessa clapped her hands and said with a smile, "Let's not talk about this anymore. There is a very beautiful underwater coral group in the shallow sea near San Salvador Island. It is known as the 'undersea garden'. We will go diving there later. I think it will be fun."
………………
When we arrived at San Salvador Island, we decided to first visit the Our Lady of Our Lady Catholic Church mentioned in the travel brochure.
There are many unique sea erosion, marine landforms and volcanic lava landscapes on the island. Anyway, they plan to stay on San Salvador Island for two days and one night. They have plenty of time, so they are not in a hurry.
After touring the entire island, everyone came to the Octopus Diving Club on the island. The club was responsible for providing them with all the diving equipment, and there were coaches who taught them one-on-one use, which was very convenient.
Bruno has practiced diving before, and these are of course child's play for him. In fact, the coral groups in the waters of San Salvador Island are all in shallow seas, with a water depth of only one or two meters. Usually at low tide, the coral reefs will still be exposed on the sea surface, bringing with them You can dive in just one breath with a diving goggle with a trachea, and no respirator is needed at all. It is said that many residents on the island dive like this to fish for corals.
Several girls were not very good at swimming, so they were a little worried at first. However, diving here is relatively simple. The lead weight on the wetsuit will take them to the bottom of the sea. After understanding the specific situation, they felt relieved. On the contrary, Some are eager to try.
After everything was ready, the girls took their diving equipment back to the yacht and then set off.
Today's water conditions were just right. Bruno chose a secluded diving spot and anchored the yacht.
Because all the girls needed to be taken care of by him, in order to avoid accidents, Bruno asked them to go down in batches. Everyone understood that this was a matter of safety, so they all nodded in agreement.
………………
The first wave to enter the water were Anyi and Tang Yan, Vanessa, Liu Yan and Zhang Liangying, all of whom were eagerly waiting on the yacht.
San Salvador Island is indeed well-deserved. It has clear turquoise water. After Bruno accompanied An Yi and the others to dive into the seabed, colorful coral reefs of different shapes suddenly appeared in front of them. It was simply too beautiful. Fish shuttled through the coral reefs from time to time. , this is a colorful underwater world.
An Yi was so bold that she actually dived to the bottom of the sea to touch the lemon shark.
