Hitching a ride on a cargo ship

[TheDude]

I am looking to hitch a ride on a non-cruse ship from California to China Or Japan. I am not really looking for a job on the ship just some time at sea, away from pain in the ass people, where I can take in some views and get some writing done. From what I have heard it can be done but I was wondering if you all had any info or advice about this.
Thanks,
The Dude
