Strolling Through Time – Enocha Edenfield

Savannah’s historic district hosts a wide range of tour companies, from large operators to independent guides, offering various ways to explore the city. These tours cater to all modes of transportation— from the rapid pace of trolley tour buses speeding through the streets to the leisurely strolls of walking tours. Other options include bicycles, Segways, and horse-drawn carriages.

Ghost tours are a staple in Savannah — and for good reason. Some of the city’s picturesque squares hide unmarked graves just beneath the surface. After going on so many of them, you start to notice a pattern. Some feel genuinely historic and atmospheric, while others lean campy and over-the-top, complete with guest “ghosts” popping out for cheap thrills.

Until something different landed in my inbox — a tour that piqued my curiosity. It focused on the women who helped shape the Savannah we experience today. This semi-private tour was led by tour maestra Enocha (pronounced Ah-nih-ka) Edenfield.

Enocha is the perfect guide. She walks and talks at a comfortable pace, answering questions with such thoughtfulness that it’s clear she wants her guests to be curious and engaged. Every question feels welcomed, not rushed.
One standout feature of her tour is the use of historical photographs and historic city maps flashed on her iPad. Seeing the faces of the people she describes, alongside the changes of the design of the city, makes history feel tangible. It ties together the locations, key events, and the individuals who played pivotal roles in the shaping and design of current Savannah.

If you have the stamina, I’d recommend taking a walking tour in the spring (March–May) or fall (September–November) when the weather is mild. This way, you can double back afterward and actually visit some of the historic homes and museums Enoch mentions along the way.
Even better, Enocha customizes her tours based on your interests. If you’re fascinated by a particular slice of history, she’ll tailor the experience to match. You can reach her on Instagram or through her website.

Sun, Wind, and Spirit: A Regatta to Remember

 

This past weekend, the Wilmington River gleamed with possibility as the 46th Annual St. Patrick’s Regatta, hosted by the Geechee Sailing Club, brought a beloved tradition to life once again. With sails snapping in a steadily building breeze, 19 skippers took to the water in a spirited celebration of seamanship, resilience, and community—only one had to sit out due to a missing crew, a testament to the dedication of all who showed up.

 

Saturday’s races played out like a well-paced symphony—each course slightly shorter, each leg charged with the quiet thrill only a sailor knows. And when the final sail was lowered and boats docked, the energy carried into the evening at Molly McGuire’s on Wilmington Island. Under soft lighting and the warm glow of shared stories, skippers, crews, spouses, sponsors, and Geechee members gathered for a night that felt like a scene from a coastal novel—laughter, slideshows of the day’s best moments, and the simple joy of a community well met. The wine and beer flowed, the buffet was plentiful, trophies were awarded, and yes—there was cake.

Sunday brought another surprise. Though light winds had been forecast, nature had other plans. After a brief delay, the river offered up a near-perfect breeze. Boats beat their way downriver, then hoisted their spinnakers to soar back toward the finish line—graceful and determined.

A highlight of this year’s regatta was the presentation of the Sportsmanship Award, given to a skipper who embodied the true heart of sailing. After clipping the starting pin, he took his penalty turn without hesitation, then struggled with an over-sheeted sail that left him temporarily stuck in irons. But he didn’t give up. With steady hands and unwavering grit, he made his way back into the race—earning not just respect, but a well-deserved place in the story of this regatta.

Like many races, this weekend was a gathering of passion, perseverance, and people who love the wind, the water, and each other. If you’ve never experienced the magic of the St. Patrick’s Regatta, perhaps next year it’s your time to hoist the sails.
