Thud Bay to Boyd Bay

 0900hrs: Departed Thud Bay heading for Aurukun.

1000hrs: Port engine failed. Throttled down then ran rough.  On inspection the starboard engine was running hot with little raw water coming out of the exhaust.

1200hrs: Cleared the fuel blockage in the port fuel tank and replaced the original raw water pump on the starboard engine.  Also blew out the starboard through hole again to clear a blockage.

Engines repaired we resumed our motoring towards Aurukun, but with no wind and the next week of no wind forecast we turned back towards Boyd Bay.

1400hrs: Arrived in Boyd Bay.  Great anchorage.
