Shuddering to a halt; a wooden boat drifts about

It's 8:30pm and we've suddenly come to a shuddering halt, did an about turn and are now holding a stationary position. 
We're supposedly off to spend a day at sea, making our way back towards the UK, first stopping at Cadizvand then A Coruña. Its quite a distance and we have to maintain a reasonable speed.
It seems, however, we almost ploughed into a migrant boat full of, well, migrants attempting to get to the Canary Islands.
We're expected by the rules of the sea, to wait, call the Spanish rescue people and then continue to wait until the boat load is 'rescued'.
Fingers crossed the Spanish come out and don't shrug their shoulders, otherwise we are duty bound to pick them up!
This is turning into an interesting trip.
Taken using my phone camera off the Galaxy 20S. It sets itself up to take night shots. What I saw was virtually pitch black.
