Longest you'been at sea. (cruises, France, Greece, castle)

[jtur88]

What is the longest you have ever been aboard a ship or boat, without going ashore?

For me it was last summer, about 70 hours crossing the Black Sea, Odessa to Batumi

Before that, I think about 30 hours on a cargo dhow, Kuwait to Iran.

I've been on a number of overnight ferries, but I don't think as long as 24 hours:

Newcastle UK to Stavanger Norway
Siracusa Italy to Malta
Malta to Tripoli, Libya.
Stockholm to Helsinki
Nova Scotia to Newfoundland
Corfu Greece to Brindisi Italy
Uvira Congo to Kigoma Tanzania (lake)
Aswan Egypt to Wadi Halfa Sudan (lake)

Once Newfoundland to Nova Scotia, the ferry remained tied up for 24 hours because of a blizzard, so I was on board for maybe 36 hours, but not all at sea.

I took the Silja from Stockholm to Helsiniki and I swear it took longer than 24 hours! Seemed like forever!

Oh man am I an oddball or what. Longest had to have been maybe 2 hours on various cruises close to shore meant for tourists and one time on a charter fishing boat that I remember me and my siblings got seasick on so we had to go in early.

I think maybe 2 or 3 hours on a provincial ferry called the Chi-Cheemaun from Manitoulin Island, Ontario to Tobermory, on the Bruce Peninsula. That's actually just part of Lake Huron, and not at all the sea.

In the case of actual saltwater, then a ferry I cannot remember the name of going from West Vancouver to Nanaimo on the Strait of Georgia. Maybe 1.5 hours.

a few days here and there sailing up and down the california coast, nothing too long.
