In ancient times, sailing was a boring and boring job, but highly technical.

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

Over time, these summed experiences gradually formed several fixed routes, and all the captains or navigators on the ship needed to sail along these fixed routes so that they could save the most time and effort! Pirates in the Caribbean Sea frequently appeared on these important routes.

The sailboats of this era do not have engines or propellers. In fact, the sailboats of this era still have to sail by sea breeze in most cases, whether they are upwind or side winds. When there is no wind, you can use the hard-working oars if you are in a hurry!

However, generally large sailing sailboats, especially those of the Galen ships, are not equipped with oars. When there is no wind or current, they can only float slowly. Anyway, the climate of the ocean is changing, and it will only take three or five days to float. These things are commonplace for crew members who have been living on the sea for many years.

However, this extreme windless and current situation will usually occur only when exploring new routes or crossing the equatorial windless belt. Otherwise, it must be the captain or navigator's dereliction of duty. Without losing his course, there will never be too many unexpected situations on the waterway that has been explored by European navigators. Of course, except when encountering pirates!

Today is the second day of Anne's trip to sea. After a dusk and night sailing, what follows is the boring life on the boat.

At this time, the Fearless was crossing the equatorial windless belt. Its sail was only put down one side, and the other sails were still collected. However, under Anne's constant strong wind magic, the Fearless could still run at about ten knots of ship speed with one side of the sail! These more than ten knots of speed were the highest speed that the original Fearless could have reached before the magic modification. On the way, their sails could also run at high speed, which scared the merchant ships they encountered.

At this time, the rudder on the bridge was just a helmsman of the former navy that was controlling the Fearless, while Anne, Barcabo, Norrington and Jack Sparrow were all sitting on the stern terrace, looking at each other nervously, from time to time, looking at the sea below the stern.

Behind them, a group of sailors gathered to watch the fun, making noises from time to time!

It turned out that Little Anne was holding a fishing competition with the three of them. In order to make the fishing competition go smoothly, the sailors were specially ordered to put away most of the sails. Little Anne also threw her Tibers into the space pocket for the first time, saving the fish from being scared away!

The two sisters Cecilia and Christina were standing next to Anne with nervous expressions, helping her prepare fishing rods and other fishing tackles. Now the second round of fishing competition is ready. The rules of the competition are very simple: each person is allowed to fish once, and finally the weight of the fish harvested by each other is compared, and the heaviest wins.

Originally in the morning, Anne, who was just bored and Jack Sparrow, who was idle, was having a fishing competition, while Barcelona, ​​who was happy to see the hunt, robbed the helmsman's job and gave the Defenceless, which had become a magic ship. As for Norrington, he mingled in the sailor's room to drink and pass on the boring sea life and a frustrated semi-captive career.

In the morning, the first round of fishing competition undoubtedly ended with the victory of Captain Jack Sparrow. Because he actually caught a tuna weighing 120 pounds! And what about little Annie? He only caught a small flying fish. Moreover, the flying fish was alarmed by the ship and jumped up, and accidentally jumped into Annie's fish frame, so it barely became her harvest and would not end empty-handed.

After losing the game, Little Anne generously set a hawkeye technique for Jack Sparrow's telescope, so that it can see farther no matter when or in any weather, even in a dark or foggy night! And even under normal circumstances, it can reach more than three times the visual distance than the best and most exquisite nautical telescope.

This alarmed Barcelona Bo and Norrington. The ordinary telescope after enchanting immediately became a rush to see the treasure of navigation!

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 specifically for sailing! How could they not be jealous?

So, in the second fishing competition in the afternoon, the captains participated in all the skies!

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

The first one to play was the confident Brigadier Norrington who took out his luxurious special boom and used specially customized special baits.

After he mocked the two pirates, he picked up his exquisite fishing rod, then swung it gracefully, and threw the fish float directly onto the sea surface, and then began to wait for the fish to take the bait with peace of mind.

"You guys just think about it. I use thick lines and big fish hooks, and I will definitely catch a big guy!"

According to the regulations before the start of the competition, each person only has half an hour of fishing time. Even if the final result is the final result, he will soon be transferred to the next person!

And if no fish takes the bait for more than half an hour, the calculation score will be zero! Of course, in order to prevent the witch from cheating, they also agreed that no magic or magic-related things can be used!

Although he hadn't fished for a long time and might have been a little bit of a hand, Norrington was not worried. According to his usual fishing experience, when he used bait soaked with special ingredients, the big guys near this sea area would definitely come back to eat the bait and take the bait within ten to twenty minutes!

When he was a captain, he had already tried countless times when he was traveling around the world with a boat, and never had too many accidents!

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

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

After seeing Norrington's luxurious fishing gear and special bait, Jack Sparrow said that it was impossible not to be nervous! The thing seemed to be very high-end when he looked at it, and he felt a little panicked.

"A fish should be able to catch it! But I don't know if it's big or not... Anyway, it's definitely not bigger than what I'm going to catch. I'm very confident in this!"

Barbosa looked at Norrington's fishing gear indifferently, and said with disdain. He had just looked at the fishing gear of the three people, and then, he now had the confidence to win. As long as the witch did not cheat, he believed that no one would be bigger and heavier than the big fish that Captain Barbosa brought up!

"Why do you think so? Is anyone unlucky to knock on the door?"

Jack Sparrow was shocked when he heard Barbosa's words. Now it seems that this old guy doesn't seem to be simple. Does the other party have any secrets? So, while retorting unhappily, he twisted his waist and walked to the other party, trying to find out some useful information.

"Hmm! Wait a minute, you'll know! Don't worry, very soon! Jack, are you right? Hahaha..."

Captain Barbosa ignored Jack's temptation, teased the monkey named Jack on his shoulder, and began to smile proudly!

“…”

Very good, then let's take a look! The great Captain Jack Sparrow believes that fishing should not be a problem.

After thinking suspiciously for a while, Jack Sparrow looked at Brigadier General Norrington who was leisurely waiting for the fish to take the bait, and then looked at the confident look of Barcelona behind him. He gritted his teeth and thought about it, and immediately replaced his fishing rod with a larger hook and a thicker fishing line!

However, he still felt that it was not safe enough, so he took advantage of the fact that everyone else was paying attention to the sea and no one noticed him, and he secretly moved behind Norrington in a small step.

"Okay! Just watch it, now, a fish is on the bait!"

Norrington saw that the fish float on the sea began to twist violently and the fishing line began to tense, and immediately stood up, grabbed the fishing rod, turned the pulley and slowly closed the fishing line. His experience told him that 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, Norrington nodded with satisfaction. This was indeed a big guy!

After the fishing line slowly closed, the water surface began to stir violently. After seeing it, a group of onlookers began to make noise.

They also saw that it seemed that there was indeed a big fish below!

"Who will help?"

After more than ten minutes of struggle, 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 swordfish weighing 156 pounds!

It was indeed a big guy, as if their brigade general had already won? So the sailors began to cheer loudly.

"Thank you so much!"

Norrington gave everyone gracefully. In his opinion, the 156-pound swordfish was already sure to win. Now, it would take a little time to think carefully. What kind of prize should be asked for from the little witch Anne later?

“Wow!”

Anne squatted beside the swordfish, kicked the long sharp sword-shaped kiss on the swordfish's mouth with her round-toed leather shoes, and then sighed with a little discouragement. It seems that she will lose again if she cannot cheat in this game?

"This is not fun at all!"
Chapter completed!
