:18:48. > :18:50.picked up on the ward at San Francisco's International Ocean film
:18:51. > :19:00.Festival. The idea for the film came about when Austrian Leo cataract
:19:01. > :19:06.came to work in Cornwall. I was fascinated by his life his work and
:19:07. > :19:14.I got to know him a bit better which then became me not going back to
:19:15. > :19:22.Austria so I would just like to stop and stay little bit with Malcolm
:19:23. > :19:30.which we did for seven years. But Knockin was initially reluctant to
:19:31. > :19:39.be the subject of the documentary. He won in the end. The traditional
:19:40. > :19:43.skill set Malcolm learnt are celebrated in the film. But in call
:19:44. > :19:56.centre day, there is no one to follow him when he retires. That's
:19:57. > :20:01.the downside of it, now, really. But that's life I suppose. But some
:20:02. > :20:05.skills are being passed on through the's project. These children from
:20:06. > :20:15.Austria on and exchange programme benefit from Malcolm's has a
:20:16. > :20:18.experience. It's about how people see changes for young people living
:20:19. > :20:29.here. There are so many people in the film that it is a community
:20:30. > :20:32.film. Those 25 in a string... But what was the hardest part of being
:20:33. > :20:42.in the film from Malcolm? Two trying not to square swear. The film makers
:20:43. > :20:52.are trying to arrange some local screening soon. I like his style.
:20:53. > :20:57.Now in the last hour and a half the 20 17th tool ships regatta has got
:20:58. > :21:06.underway in South Devon. The race features some of the world's largest
:21:07. > :21:11.sailing ships. This was the scene in the Torbay at the start of the first
:21:12. > :21:15.leg to Portugal. We've seen some lovely blue skies, but what are
:21:16. > :21:24.conditions like the overs. Here's the forger. The winter get that
:21:25. > :21:28.strong, but nice calm seas. That's not going to change that much, the
:21:29. > :21:33.fine weather continues. Quite a big change come the weekend I'll come to
:21:34. > :21:39.that in a second. Perhaps more cloud around them recently but we've had
:21:40. > :21:44.some lovely sunrises and sunsets. This was Dorset in the morning, some
:21:45. > :21:50.lovely flowers and courts in flower. This was the sunrise this morning in
:21:51. > :21:57.Charlestown. Glorious condition through most of us, there has been a
:21:58. > :22:00.bit of cloud floating around but it continues to be fine this evening.
:22:01. > :22:04.Overnight, there is a bit more in the way of cloud coming our way and
:22:05. > :22:07.that will drift across us by the morning. So there is a bit more
:22:08. > :22:12.cloud around tomorrow morning how much rain we will see but I think
:22:13. > :22:17.little if any and the cloud should break up with any tool either
:22:18. > :22:23.sunshine through especially in the afternoon. This area of high
:22:24. > :22:27.pressure is pretty strong and is weakening the low pressure coming
:22:28. > :22:32.from the north. By the middle of the day on Friday we do have weather
:22:33. > :22:37.systems trying to make progress. This is the one that arrives on
:22:38. > :22:40.Saturday which brings a band of cloud and returns northward. So
:22:41. > :22:43.Sunday looks like it will be a largely fine day. Quite a big change
:22:44. > :22:48.on this weather front as it comes down from the North later, overnight
:22:49. > :22:52.on Sunday night and into Monday. We leave the area of high pressure and
:22:53. > :22:59.for those that need it the could be some significant rainfall on Monday.
:23:00. > :23:04.Until then lots of fine and dry weather and relatively mild. As that
:23:05. > :23:07.weather front arrives on Sunday into Monday the cold air flights in, so
:23:08. > :23:13.make the most of the warmth that were going to see over the next few
:23:14. > :23:17.days because it does cooldown early next week. That is the weather front
:23:18. > :23:26.that I am talking about that will bring cloud later. This was earlier
:23:27. > :23:33.today on Dartmoor where it was fine, but it hasn't spoiled what was a
