The clue is in the red light in the traffic signals by the cross-trees.

Re: What happened next ?
is the boat going backwards ? the chap at the helm in blue looks like he's facing the stern. also looks to be some turbalance in the water from incoming water.

Re: What happened a few seconds previously ?
edited the pic to make it clearer, ish.
Well spotted Aidy.
The lights are aligned horizontally, and were obviously not fully visible from deck level. I think the skipper assumed that because the cill was opened a few moments before, it was safe to dash out.
ooops, large CLANG sound, and he was swept back into the inner harbour. A second try a couple of minutes later was OK.
There's local warning from the staff to give the incoming current a good fifteen minutes to settle after the cill is lowered. The harbour is Watchet yesterday pm.
Perhaps the shroud round the lights might be opened a bit at the bottom ?
