Offshore & Jet Ski We've all used the term "tell-tale" signs...
Race Event Weekends
for example, tell-tale signs you're getting older....
Detroit River APBA Offshore Gold Cup You tend to gravitate to bars where the music isn't
July 13, 14, 15 loud so you can talk instead of dance; you tend to
go to happy hours that end at 7pm instead of starting at 10pm; you stopped drink-
CWA Watercross Racing Belle River Ontario ing those flavorfull beers in exchange for a Lite beer; you just bought your first pair
July 21, 22 of "readers" at the $1 store; your dinner starts getting closer to 6pm vs. 9pm; you
haven't done a shot since ... maybe 10 birthdays ago?
St. Clair River Classic Offshore Race Well of course there's a nautical meaning too! A tell-tale is a piece of cloth
July 27, 28, 29 that's tied to a wire that holds the sailboat's mast in place...one on each side of the
boat. This gives the skipper the relative direction of the wind.
