We have sailed all day with increasing wind strength as the day progressed. Started out with full main and gennaker. I eventually got concerned with the amount of stress on the gennaker and so we furled that and used the full genoa instead. Later we reefed down the main to the first reef, then second, then third while balancing the same in the roller-reefed genny. Late in the evening we were low on battery power so started the starboard engine as previously we had an indicator that the port engine might might not be providing sufficient charge. We are now in the Straits of Gibraltar and traffic is heavy.
