Chapter 753: Much Easier

More than a million Australian dollars was not a problem for Li Du. He had no need to take out a loan, and he paid the full amount directly.
Rooney was overjoyed. It might not be his biggest yacht sale, but it was one of the most enjoyable. Li Du paid the money on the spot, and the company's heavy industry manager did all the paperwork. The deal was a success!
”Do you have a ship driving license?” he asked. ”If you don't have one, you have to hire a driver. I can contact one for you.”
Upon hearing this, Li Du and others were depressed.
They only wanted to buy a fishing boat at first. Any ordinary person could drive it after having some training. Now that they had bought a ship, they would need a ship diving license. How would any one of them have that?
Fortunately, the quiet Brother Wolf spoke up. ”Boss, I have, but it is from Germany. I have to translate it to use it in Australia.”
Like a driver's license, Australia recognized ship driving licenses from many countries, but it required translation.
”Leave that to me,” Rooney said. ”Five hundred dollars and I could settle it for you.”
More than a million dollars was already spent, why would Li Du care about another 500 dollars? He paid for it without thinking twice.
Two days later, when they came to sail, Rooney gave them the translated version of the ship driving license.
During those two days, Brother Wolf followed Rooney to learn how to drive the Seastar 60 at Monster Ocean Heavy Industries. At the end of March, they went to Monster Ocean Heavy Industries' shipyard. The Seastar 60 passed by, and they boarded the ship together.
The full displacement of Seastar 60 was 30 tons, the depth of the draft was 1.5 meters, and the load was 10 people. However, Li Du and his group were mostly children, so the number of people allowed had a little wiggle room to go up.
As the new ship creaked, they left Melbourne for King Island.
”We'll eat and live on the sea this time, as long as there is no stormy weather. We will be having a great harvest,” Hans said confidently.
After two days of calmness, Li Du no longer felt the excitement and irrational fear that he did the first time he boarded the yacht.
He said gloomily, ”We catch the black gold abalone at a maximum of two or three hundred meters from the shore. It's such a short distance, do we need to stay on the sea all the time?”
What he really meant was, was it really necessary for them to buy a yacht for such a short distance?
The answer was no, it was not necessary.
Seastar 60 had a speed of 25 knots, about 40 kilometers an hour. It was slower than a fast ship, and it took four hours to reach the island.
When Li Du arrived at the efflux area, they encountered an efflux of underwater air, like a fountain, and a series of huge water columns flew out from the surface of the sea.
”Wow, that's cool,” Sophie exclaimed.
When Li Du was about to explain the geography, a large raft appeared behind their yacht. There was a young man with his oars in his hands, and he could not take his eyes off their ship.
This young man was Cruz, who had previously rescued Li Du underwater.
Seeing Cruz staring at his yacht, Li Du waved and said, ”Hey, man, how are you?”
Seeing Li Du standing on the bow, Cruz frowned and asked, ”Why are you back? I thought you wouldn't go overboard after your last lesson.”
