So, I haven't been able to break away from work for a weekend at the beach in a long time. Or even just a DAY on the coast with my toes in the sand and a pina colada in hand. Which is why I was so grateful to receive an invitation to have dinner with our friends Barry & Tamara at the Captain's Inn.
With Bailey (the happiest dog in Mount Dora) greeting us at the door ... Tamara serving us mango mimosas ... outdoor dining by the pool ... palm trees swaying ... steel drum music playing ... and Barry's nautical artwork ... I felt like I had escaped being land locked for a couple of hours.
Before moving to Mount Dora, Barry & Tamara were chartering yachts and entertaining celebrities for the past 25 years. They have tons of fascinating stories to tell about their adventures on the sea, including entertaining Johnny Depp while he stayed on their boat during the filming of Pirates of the Caribbean and hosting Mariah Carey for her "birthday week get-away" on a mega yacht.In addition to stories fit for Lifestyles of the Rich & Famous they also have tales that would make episodes of Deadliest Catch look tame while they weathered some serious storms and cruised into some uncharted territories.
If you're looking for an escape from the norm, Captain's Barry & Tamara Spieler are sure to be the perfect hosts either on land or at sea.
