How to Live Your Life on a Sailboat - An Interview with Angela Smith Covey

How to Live Your Life on a Sailboat - An Interview with Angela Smith Covey

Greetings from Marsh Harbor, Abaco! 

Piano performance major / entrepreneur turned sailing enthusiast Angela Smith Covey dials into the podcast remote from the BAHAMAS! Angela shares how her passion for the open water turned into a decision to 'sell it all' and live full-time on a boat in the Caribbean with her husband Perry.

Born in the mid-west with no prior experience in sailing, Angela explains how her dream of living on the ocean took shape over the course of 30 years. After running a family owned cookie business, leading corporate training events, as well as attending culinary school, Angela settled down to live life on the S/V Lily Belle (a 43’ Catalina sailboat).

No matter if you are a boater or a land lover, her journey will surely inspire a life of travel, adventure, and most importantly to always live your best life! 

Angela and Perry’s sailing blog ‘Happy Sails’ can be found at https://happysails.wordpress.com

 An Interview with Singer/Songwriter Samuel Tambe

An Interview with Singer/Songwriter Samuel Tambe

Musician Samuel Tambe stops by Studio A to talk about growing up in the Buffalo music scene, the most important thing to know when playing in a band, how he conquered stage fright, and other important lessons he's learned along the way.  From being a hired gun playing 6-strings in a bunch of rock bands, to his most memorable moment as a musician, you won't want to miss his humble words of wisdom whether you've never played a song or have been on stage for years.  Sam also gives a soulful live performance of his new original song "Fine Time" which will debut on his new album "Deep Breath" dropping June 28th, 2019.
