I was wondering if any of the bright TFPers know if it's possible to hitch a ride on a cargo ship or something, across the Atlantic. I've always wanted to make the trip, but not on a QEII cruise-type of thing...
Or, do you know if it's difficult to obtain temporary employment on a ship, swabbing the decks, so to speak?
And I had it in my head that it'd take three weeks. Does that sound right?

And no, I am <b>not</b> looking to hook up with gay russian sailors, thank you for asking.
