What's the longest boat ride you've ever been on?

I think I've been on two rides that lasted roughly six hours each.  As a teenager, I traveled from Belgium to the UK and we took the ferry.  There was a shorter trip if one traveled from France to the UK, but the drive north to the base where we'd stay for a reasonable price was longer.  It made more sense to take the longer ferry for a shorter ride, unless of course, I wanted to hit the theatre district in London.

The other boat ride was a whale watching trip off the Cape of New England.  I traveled north to spend a long weekend with three girlfriends from an online RPG.  We stayed at a timeshare, toured Martha's Vineyard, watched The X-Files, talked into the wee hours... it was a nice extension of our online friendships.  One of the days, we took a boat to see some whales.  The seas were really rough, and I got so seasick that I spent most of that trip inside, head between my knees and wishing I was back on land.
