In the early morning of early July, the temperature in Newfoundland was still relatively low, but today's weather was very good, so Yang Jing and Ge Ge got up early in the morning to enjoy the sunrise on the sea.

The cabin they live in is the best cabin on the whole ship. The push-open door is a viewing platform with a large area. It is located on the fourth floor of the deck cabin, which is the position with the line of sight second only to the top cockpit on the whole ship.

When the two of them came out, Chris and the four of them had quietly stood in place. Even on the ship, the four of them still fulfilled their duties.

Two people stood on this platform, looked out of thin air and looked at the East Sea.

In fact, strictly speaking, the time for two people to get up is not in the early morning, but in the middle of the night. Because they get up at 3:30. If it's in the low latitudes of the northern hemisphere, it's still dark.

But the sea area where they are now is close to 50 degrees north latitude, and the sunrise time is 3:58 a.m. When they got up, it was already bright.

No way, this is what happens in summer in the northern hemisphere. The higher the latitude, the earlier the day will dawn. If the blue whale crosses the Arctic Circle and enters the Arctic Circle, the time of night at this time is only a few hours.

After a while, the sky and sea in the East were rendered orange red. With the passage of time, this color becomes thicker and thicker. It seems that in an instant, the red sun "jumps" out from under the sea level, and the dense water vapor rising on the sea makes the sun look less round and the scenery is very spectacular.

"In fact, the sun we see now is not the real sun, you know?" Ge Ge tilted her head and asked Yang Jing. Before Yang Jing answered, she continued. "In fact, when we look at the sun at sunrise, it is just a virtual scene of the sun formed by atmospheric refraction and diffuse reflection, so it looks very virtual and irregular."

Yang Jing hugged Ge Ge's waist and said with a smile, "you girl know a lot."

"Hehe, if you've seen the sunrise on the sea many times, you know this truth," Ge replied playfully.

As soon as she said this, Yang Jing remembered that the girl was born with a golden key. She didn't know how many times she had seen the sunrise on the sea.

"But I still like watching the sunrise on the sea. Only by watching the sunrise on the sea can I realize the vastness of heaven and earth and the greatness of mother nature." Ge Ge took a sip on Yang Jing's face, "husband, thank you for watching the sunrise with me."

Yang Jing's arms tightened. They just snuggled up against the fence of the viewing platform and looked at the fish jumping in the distance and the seagulls flying in the sky.

"Daughter in law, do you know that this sea area was once the largest fishing ground in the world?" Yang Jing asked, pointing to the vast sea area ahead.

"I know the Newfoundland fishing ground, but because of centuries of fishing, especially overfishing in the 1950s and 1960s, this fishing ground has been destroyed. Now, there are only three of the original four largest fishing grounds in the world, and the Newfoundland fishing ground has been completely destroyed."

"Yo, you know so well?" Yang Jing said with a smile.

"What's the matter? I've been here on vacation before..." Ge's answer made Yang Jing suffocate, and Ge immediately laughed.

"It was during my freshman summer vacation. I came to Canada for vacation and then came here by boat. I also heard a lot of stories about Newfoundland fishing ground here."

Yang Jing said with a smile: "I haven't been here before, but I also know a lot about Newfoundland. A few years ago, there was an online novel that was very popular. Its name seemed to be called" golden fishing ground ". It said the story of a young Chinese American with ocean power in Newfoundland. It was well written. The author and I were villagers."

"Eh? Do you still have this kind of book? Is it good?"

"Well, I suggest you have a look. It's quite good. Anyway, I chased that book for a long time."

"Well, I'll read that book when I have time." Greg looked very happy.

But turning around, she sighed.

"What's the matter? Just now it was fine. Why did you sigh? What made you unhappy?" Yang Jing asked curiously.

Ge Ge scratched his forehead and said with some embarrassment: "In fact, it's nothing. I just recall the seafood dinner in St. Johns when I was on vacation in Newfoundland that year. Although the Newfoundland fishing ground has been closed for more than 30 years, St. Johns is the capital of Newfoundland and a coastal city. Many excellent seafood still appear in St. Johns every day. Unfortunately, we just pass by there this time. If I wish I could go ashore and have a seafood meal. "

Yang Jing spoiled and poked Ge Ge's face, smiled and said, "so greedy kitten is greedy for seafood? It's easy to say. When we pass by St. Johns, I'll tell Andre that we can stop the ship and anchor, and then take the assault boat to St. Johns to eat seafood."

Yang Jing, although they are now on the sea, the blue whale is too big to fish. Although there are frozen seafood ingredients in the cabin, where can this frozen seafood be delicious? So Yang Jing's current situation is to guard the sea, but there is no seafood to eat.

"Really?" Greg was excited.

"What's true or false? We're just taking a treasure hunt this time. The real purpose is to take a good vacation. So, just do what you want to eat and play. We rent the boat, but we pay the rent. As long as we don't violate the rules of sailing, we can mention other conditions."

"Great. When we pass by St. Johns, I'll go to St. Johns for seafood."

Although Halifax and St. Johns belong to Canada and are both cities on the east coast of Canada, in fact, the distance between them is still more than 500 nautical miles. At the cruising speed of the blue whale, it will take at least 36 hours to complete this distance.

However, since it has been decided to stay for a seafood dinner in St. Johns, it has to be communicated with Captain Andre in advance. Although Yang Jing is an employer, he is not arrogant enough to listen to the captain at sea.

Communication is going well. After returning from the viewing platform, Yang Jing and Ge Ge Ge slept again. After breakfast, they entered the cockpit to communicate with Captain Andre.

"Are you going to stop at the open sea of St. John's and then go to that city for seafood?" Captain Andre milakinov looked at Yang Jing strangely when he heard Yang Jing's request.

Andre's face made Yang Jing feel "cluttered", but at this time, he could only nod his head and say: "Yes, my fiancee has been to that city before, so she happens to pass by that city this time. She wants to go to that city again. Of course, it's also a good thing to have a seafood dinner. After all, St. Johns was the core city of the whole Newfoundland fishing ground."

Greg smiled and nodded.

Yang Jing added, "I mean, if our ship can stop, I want to invite the crew on board to go to the city, hey, skin." Captain Andre, if you can go, we will be more delighted.

Captain Andre suddenly laughed and gave Yang Jing a bear hug from a fighting nation, "Ha ha, my dear Albert, I've been waiting for your invitation for a long time. Damn it, although we wander on the sea all year round, we can't eat fresh seafood. Albert, if you can invite us to a seafood dinner, I think the crew will love you."

The crew in the cockpit laughed.

Andre's words are not exaggeration. They are an ocean going polar research ship with a full displacement of nearly 20000 tons and a high side. Once the ship runs at a normal cruising speed, it is also close to 30 kilometers per hour. It is not impossible and difficult to play sea fishing on this ship.

The most important thing is that the crew of this scientific research ship is a turnip and a pit. Even if it is on duty, the rest crew will not spend their rest time fishing.

After all, the blue whale is not an ocean fishing boat, but a ship similar to an ocean freighter, so it is really difficult to eat fresh seafood on this ship. The crew on board usually eat the ingredients stored in the cold storage, which is similar to what they eat on land, but there are very few fresh seafood.

"Well, when we get to St. John's, I'll invite everyone to St. John's for a seafood dinner." Yang Jing made a promise.

A day and a half passed quickly. In the afternoon of the third day after going to sea, the blue whale finally reached the sea off St. Johns, the largest city in Newfoundland.

However, Captain Andre didn't let the blue whale sail into the wharf of St. John's Bay. The St. John's Bay itself is not big, and it's only more than two kilometers from the west to the East. If a ship as big as the blue whale enters the port, don't do anything tonight. Just enter the port and play in the port.

It is very troublesome for such a 10000 ton ship to enter and dock, especially in St. John's port, which has a narrow waterway, 10000 ton ships rarely enter and dock.

Not to mention that there are only two 10000 ton docks in St. John's port. Now there are ships docked, so even if the blue whale wants to enter St. John's port, there is no place to dock.

So Captain Andre simply stopped the blue whale in the sea about three kilometers away from the exit of St. Johns Bay. After anchoring, all the others, except the necessary remaining crew, rushed to St. Johns in their assault boats.
