Teams from Rehoboth and Dewey beach businesses participated in the 30th annual Lighthouse Canoe Races on the bayside beach of Dickinson Avenue in Dewey July 19.
Sixteen teams, each made up of two men and two women, relay raced along Rehoboth Bay. Some of the teams took the races seriously, some didn’t – all had fun.
The team representing Nalu won for the fifth straight year.
