Wind increased to about 25 kts and we retired the code-zero sailing with full main and genoa.
At night light wind from the stern made us dropping the sail and use the engine for a couple of hours,
until the wind build up again and we could sail again on starboard tack with full main and code-zero.
No lure in the water yesterday.
