I could go on and on about how it was to live on those ships that would be out at sea for several months at a time. But in a nutshell it was cramped and disgusting.

Much like everything else romanticized in history, sea-faring sounds like a much more enjoyable experience with modern technology. Though in the case of the sea, not necessarily safer.
I'll admit; if I had the means, I'd buy a massive vessel and spend the bucks paying someone to teach me how to do it right for about a decade or more if needed. I can't imagine a more enjoyable life.
