No thanks ....
Not sure why, but when I was a kid my Dad had the brilliant idea of taking my Mom and little brother, and me, from Hamburg Germany to Kingston Jamaica (where we lived at the time) via a Freighter....
Leaving the port of Rotterdam, the seas were so ugly, and this freighter rolled from side to side so violently, that the force tossed my four year old brother (I was ten) out of a bunk bed, clear across the cabin against the inside of the hull, and after that he dropped about two feet and fell face first into a heavy glass ashtray that was fastened to a bolted down side-table.
It was an ugly trip...
That kind of water would have me curled up in a fetal position crying like a baby girl.....

There's some bad a$$ photos of Freedom on that trip somewhere. I just can't remember who took them. I think they were in Poker Runs America magazine.

The Captain of the QE2 said he was hit by a rogue wave over 90' high. This was in the 80s I think. Until he spoke up, nobody believed there could be waves that big. They thought it was just tall tales from the sea.
