Just been reading Golding's 'Sea Trilogy' and there's a section in it about being literally stuck in the Doldrums. One of the big problems with it was apparently that you accumulated a lot of seaweed on the hull because you were moving so slow, which would then slow you down further. Pure conjecture but you could sea how 'doldrums' could easily become slang for dreadlocks, or for rags hanging down off a coat. jon
