enjoy sleeping to the sound of 100's of 50 ft. wind chimes, it can be
relaxing. To me, not so much, I would rather spend the night in the
flight path of the Atlanta Airport.

I think that explains a lot. ;)

Oh - I'll have to take a picture of the Wind Harp they have up at
Woodstock Academy.

Beautiful sounds. Almost ethereal.

Yes - it explains that I have a great appreciation for the finer
things in life.

Unlike a certain sandal kool tie wearing pansy who posts here.

I think you are using contradictory terms here. How could anyone who
wears sandals and a kool tie be a pansy? He sounds like he must be a
very smart, good looking, fashionable boater. He doesn't wear long
pants on the boat does he? ;)

I actually do enjoy wind chimes that have a balanced tone, but halyards
inside a mast, banging and clanging in discord does not have a harmonic
sound to them. I would rather put my head in a bucket and beat it with
a hammer, which explains a lot about me. ;)

So do you want me to mail you a kool tie and kool do rag?

When I was a kid back in the fifties, one of the neighbors had
something called Rebel, dating from the forties, and one of the first
fiberglass boats. The rope halyard pinged on the outside of the
aluminum mast. Nobody ever said word about it. I guess it didn't
bother anyone. How does the wind get inside a mast? It doesn't, so
what made the wires move?

The boat rocking back and forth would cause the halyards to bang, then
if they had not tightened all of the sheets and the booevane and topping
lift, and centered the boom, you can have the boom flopping back and
forth so it just adds to the non - harmonic crescendo. If the wind gets
over 15 mph, you then will start to pick up the whistling sounds of the
wind in the rigging.

As I said, some people like it, me, not so much. I prefer the sound of
waves or wakes from passing boats against the hull of my boat. Now
that i find relaxing.
