Good one Dawntreader, ha ha.
At a guess, I'd say they have a channel pilot onboard that would normally disembark off Brixham, but probably, and combined with darkness, the weather is too bad for either the pilot launch to come out or for a helicopter to operate. So the options are that they wait around for daylight and a lull in the weather, or the pilot remains onboard until another port. At the moment it looks like they are waiting.
