The East Coast boasts a colorful racing scene this summer as First State residents enjoy lively yacht competitions on the Delaware Bay.
In 2005, Vincent Walsh and Thomas Sheridan purchased a house on Pilottown Road in Lewes for one primary reason. Since the property stretches to the Lewes and Rehoboth Canal, they have a private slip for the 37-foot sloop Ceili.
Over the past decade, the couple has witnessed an increased interest in sailing. “[Lewes has] become a big sailing community,” Walsh says. “It’s partly because of the easy access to the Delaware Bay, which is beautiful to sail in.”

Peyton Hagy
It was the best and worst of games for Sussex Academy junior goalie Peyton Nagy April 30 at Champions Stadium. Cape scored 17 times in a 17-10 victory, but the Vikings were turned away 14 times, as Nagy faced 31 shots. The shots Nagy stopped were legit, on a doorstop, with multiple Vikings stoned with “no way” emphasis. The Seahawks are 10-1 on the season. Nagy has played nine games where the opponent has scored six goals or fewer, including six games where she allowed three or fewer. The kid is crazy good, and she does it smoothly, without frenzy. She sees the ball and she can clear the ball. Peyton had 13 saves March 29 in a 13-8 win over Archmere. There’s a big game coming up for the Seahawks Tuesday, May 11, when they head on the road to Ursuline. It’s guaranteed that hall of fame coach Feffie Barnhill of Ursuline knows all about Peyton Hagy.

Aya Daisey
Aya’s father Blaine hung over the fence watching his twin daughters, now seniors, compete in a track meet. Blaine was a Cape school record holder in the long jump with a distance of 22-feet-10-inches, ran a sub-11-second 100 meters and was the winner of the Kevin Kennedy Award in 1983. Aya is a cross-fit sprinter in the pool and on the track. Like most sprinters, she can jump far when she is motivated. In the April 27 meet, Aya won the long jump in 15-feet-5-inches, edging out her sister Amaya, who jumped 15-2. Aya was first in the 200 meters with a time of 27.4 seconds, then won the high jump in 4-feet-6-inches, where she owns a personal best of 5-feet. And in the 4-by-100, Aya took the baton on the anchor leg to lead the team of Mehkia Applewhite, Kiki Johnson and Amaya Daisey to a come-from-behind win in 55.8.

Don’t expect to see a parking permit system on Lewes Beach this summer, as mayor and city council determined there is still a lot of work to do before making a decision. At their Feb. 11 meeting, city officials tasked city hall staff with further.
