A TRIBUTE TO BPE CHERYL
Tuesday marked the first anniversary of my husband’s passing. David and I shared over 35 years of crazy love and fun while calling Los Barriles our home. We tried to do it all. We met in La Paz in 1988 because our dads were fishing buddies, then the magic happened! Spending six weeks at a time on a live-a-aboard up in the Sea of Cortez for 8 yrs, RVing across the US, Strugis, Burning Man, New York City, snowmobiling Yellowstone, Alaska and Amsterdam, Scotland, Chili, Galapagos and so much more. Los Barriles was our anchor, 9 yrs of bocce ball tournaments on Looney Loop Beach for the East Cape Guild and birth of the BPE! Now, Dave is with both of our Dads out in the Sea looking for mischief! I miss you Big Guy. Thank you for our incredible marriage and so many wonderful friends……life goes on, Cheryl Dondlinger
