It's an ill wind that blows nobody any good, they say (whoever they are) but the wind's pretty ill at the moment for everyone connected with Weymouth Speed Week this week in Portland Harbour.
The idea is to sail (or windsurf, or kitesurf) as fast as you possibly can, and it's quite hard to do that when there's virtually no wind, which was the situation prevailing today.
Current forecasts predict similar conditions for the whole rest of the week - a pretty dismal prospect for everyone involved. The lovely autumn sunshine won't be much consolation for them. The logic of holding the event at this time of year is the likellihood of autumn gales, but this is the second time in four years that the weather has failed to oblige.
