In his book Mayflower, Narragansett youth Sunfish great (and Brown sailor) Nat Philbrick describes that around 1621 the Pilgrim's William Bradford declared Thanksgiving. Though half his people, including his wife, had perished over the previous months, and their retirement savings had been shot all to Heck, he declared there would be a feast and that Flying Scots would be raced at the Sarasota Sailing Squadron and the Davis Island YC.
Give thanks all.
