Hi, jaybird. They're crew members - not many stowaways wanting to escape from sunny Australia to Rotterdam in the coldest winter for many years! As we approached the 100 fathom line (where the worst waves usually occur) the word had been sent out to get them off deck but it was a bit too late. Luckily all they got was a thorough soaking.
