Judy Helmey’s family has lived on Wilmington Island, across the bridge from Savannah, since 1948. Helmey began fishing with her father at age 5 and started running a boat at 14.
Miss Judy Charters advertises that it has been operating since 1956. Helmey describes fishing and living by the coast as work she loves, and says she watches the sunset from the dock nearly every night.
Her profile is the first in a digital series highlighting community members in Savannah.
