Waves on the Sail to South Africa

We are on day 10 of our sail from Togo in West Africa to South Africa - we have already travelled over 1,800 nautical miles. A friend took this photo yesterday. Here is the description from the captain of the day "As anticipated, the weather deteriorted overnight and the sea conditions have worsen. The winds are from the southeast at 40 kts, gusting to 50 kts. The ship is rolling moderate to heavy and pitching heavily. There is heavy spray on deck and sometimes the spray envelops the bridge. The weather forecast call for similar weather through Tuesday."
