Ditto to the topping lift.

When I climbed onboard last nite, I heard the distinctive sound of a diaphragm 
pump running, except that I don’t have an automatic one. I checked the 
backstay, which usually sounds like a low resonant hum, but it was quiet. Put 
my ear on the boom, and it was loud! The spare halyard I had just put on as a 
temporary topping lift was alternately humming, I could literally see it 
shaking every second. These are a weird phenomenon.

Do you have a topping lift?  I was accidentally tightening my main sheet to 
stop the boom vang squeak...and was tuning my topping lift like a guitar 
string.   Another experience with neighboring boat had a in-mast furler groove 
make spooky notes like a flute when wind hit just right angle. Your results may 
vary...😎

That is a possibility but nothing changed from last fall. Except for the fact I 
was not home to dote on Rebecca Leah.

If you cover any holes you can reach does the pitch change?

For the past couple of months I have had a harmonic noise that sounds like a 
UFO. It appears to be coming from the mast, but only with a wind blowing, light 
or otherwise.

Being moored across the bay from Puget Sound Naval Shipyard first few  times I 
heard it, had me looking outside for UFOs. I don't think its wind in the 
rigging. 

It just started this year when I got back from my 5 month road trip to Florida. 
 

Is Rebecca Leah punishing me for being gone so long?
