0900hrs: Departed Weipa after four days of reprovisioning and repairs on an adjacent monohull.
Wind 20ktsn from the SE. Wind swung to the west after Boyd boint.
Once we rounded Thud point the wind was right on the nose so we dropped the sails and started the motors. After an hour the starboard motor began to squeak which got worse over time.
1430hrs: Dropped the anchor and pulled then cooling system apart. The raw water pump pulley had become loose and had done some damage to the center hole. I replaced the water pump and we decided to stay overnight.
