This year's annual Thanksgiving weekend regatta had to be postponed a week, but on December 5 we managed to get in the delayed Pumpkin Pie Regatta, which Howie McMichael won by one point over Buttons Padin and three over Rocco Campanelli. When we have special one-day events, we score on a low point basis. These three did well particularly because they were able to sail all seven races with no breakdowns. Congratulations, Howie (hurrumph!)
