Podcast D.Friel - Connected by Water

We did it! 100 episodes! And what better way to celebrate than with our annual Fly Navarro Christmas Special and bringing along my pal and show regular, Art Sapp. While Fly and I like to spread the Christmas cheer, Art can tend to be a little bit of a Grinch around the end of December. Honestly, his reasoning isn’t as bad as you might think. Tune in to find out why. Merry Christmas from Connected By Water, Joey Accardi and Papa’s Pilar Rum! | @flynavarro_ @art_sapp

At Connected By Water we have many sayings, but one of our favorites is “Grow Where You're Planted.” Former Broward County Commissioner and current 93rd Florida House District Representative Chip LaMarca, along with former Texas Tech star running back, CFL standout and current State Championship-winning Head Football Coach for the Cardinal Gibbons Chiefs, Matt Dubuc join me to talk about the importance of leading by example in your local community. As humble as both of these gentlemen are, they have accomplished great things for our South Florida communities and beyond. They are truly Hometown Heroes. | @chiplamarca @cardinalgibbonsfootball

Winterfest is a South Florida Christmas tradition and this year they celebrate 50 years of being the “Greatest Show on H2O.” CEO Lisa Scott-Founds and Winterfest Boat Parade Chair Britt Lanier stopped by the studio to tell us how excited they are for this year’s boat parade festivities, but also explain that there’s so much more to Winterfest then most people know. It’s a year-round affair!| @winterfestboatparade @winterfest_foundation

Captain Art Sapp needs no introduction and is certainly no stranger to the podcast. Most of the times he comes on the show it's in a group format. This one is all about just bringing him in for a little laid back one on one to talk about a little of everything going on. Sometimes you just want to hang out with your pal and have some Papa’s Pilar rum. Is that so wrong? | @art_sapp

Papa would definitely be proud of this episode. We took full advantage of having our Papa’s Pilar crew in town for the 2021 FLIBS boat show in true Hemingway style. Was a great time sitting with this room full of legends all at once. Bouncer Smith, Paul Castronovo, George Poveromo, Steve Growth, Mike Myatt, Karl Anderson and more! They all shared stories and we partook in the newest batch of Limited Edition Legacy rum. | @papaspilar @paulcastronovoshow @capt_ka @captbouncer @myattmike @georgepoveromo

A wise man once said “Life moves pretty fast. If you don’t stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.” My pal Taylor DeFusco is just one of those guys that looks at things that way too. He’s got some pretty great philosophies on life and refuses to let the social noise influence the direction he moves in. Lately he’s been mostly off the water and on the hunting path. He takes us through the new challenges he faces and the lessons learned being a professional hunting guide. Are you listening? Bueller, Bueller, Bueller… | @taylordefusco

Legendary Captains Karl Anderson and Bo Jenyn’s have caught more big fish in their lifetimes than most could ever imagine. To say I was pleased to sit down with both of them at the same time over a glass or three of Papa’s Pilar is a given. These world travelers had plenty of stories to share about billfish, boats, bluefins and more from their experiences all over the globe. | @capt_ka @bojenyns
