Hi...
One of the Atlantic crossings I made on the Navy ship I was on...an LST (long, slow target)...was made during storm season. A crossing that normally took 11-days (a long time by most standards) took us 21-days...!!!
Each day I would call up the pilot house and inquire as to how far we had gone in the past 24-hours. Sometimes it was only two knots...SIDEWAYS...!! Another time it might have been 3 or 4-knots...ASTERN...!! An unbelievable storm.
No ship's work could be done, and no "real" meals were served then, as they couldn't be cooked under those conditions. Mostly just fruit and crackers, for example.
Our ship carried canvas straps that would be used to strap you into your bunks to keep you from falling out due to the twists, turns and yaws the ship took each day and night...!!
And you lnow what? I wouldn't have traded that experience for anything...!!
I've had similar experiences in small planes, but that's another story.
