More Atlantic rollers thundering in

One of the foulest southeasters of summer is currently battering us, but the waves are so spectacular that all is forgiven. One side effect is that the cruise ship, MSC Opera, is unable to enter the port of Cape Town and so no passengers could embark today. I am due to embark next Monday, and have checked the long-range weather forecast - sse, 50% rain, 24km/hr gusting to 56km/hr. Today it's se, clear, 40km/hr, gusting to 56km/hr. So we might be lucky! In the meantime, it's going to become very hot until Saturday (lower 30s) - typical January weather.

Here are the waves that greeted me when I took this morning's weather photo, and some more later in the day.
