Nic, we all DREAM, some are just lucky enough to get help along the way to make their DREAMS come true. The BWE community helped to make PROJECT LAS ENCANTADAS possible. Thank you all, now enjoy.

18 Months Later

Just got back from Gonzaga, Robmoney and Carlos (lives for thrills) and myself spent the weekend at our place in Gonzaga.
This is NOT a fish report, that might come later. This is about DREAMS coming true. In this case, mine. I now hold the lease on my old property. For those who have gone down with me, Standing in front of Robs and my place facing the ocean, Lupes house is on your right (where we shower) and on the right of that is my new/old place from 20 years ago. Going back in September and will somehow get pictures to post at that time. Hopefully it will be ready to open by the NEW YEAR. It would be nice to DEDICATE it on NEW YEARS 2016. It is twice as large as Rob's and my current place, which we would keep for ourselves.

The lease covers a 8,000 SqFt lot with a 24 x 32 foot garage/house, a 16 x 32 concrete pad which will hold, to be built, a double bath, and two septic tanks, with the rest of the pad to be covered with shade cloth for now. Just a large outside covered living area for now. Parking for 7-8 trucks and room for tents too.

I will retain, work on and improve the lot and use it for BAJA or BUST trips and I will pay the yearly lease. This NEW place is for OUR BWE FAMILY to use. My DESIRE is to DONATE the property to the BWE COMMUNITY when I pass. When I am gone the COMMUNITY will have to pay the lease each September which would be $1600 a YEAR. I am confident our community could figure a way to make this happen. When I croak as all WSB do, it will belong to our community, this is my GIFT to all of you. Remember water is very scarce in Baja so there will be a per person charge for shower/toilet water. It should be $10 a week per person. Water is brought in, it is brackish, not to drink and runs about $25-30 to fill our tank.

BTW there is a Resturant 300-400 feet away with a couple of good cooks, also an out of work Capt there with a with a panga who will take 4-5 guys fishing for a day for $200. He will also take you and your yaks to the island there and drop you off and pick you the same day or the following following afternoon for the same price, yes an overnight trip to the island for $200. The Capt is out of work because the government has closed everything from San Felipe to Punta Final to commercial net fishing for at least two years.

DREAMS can and do come true, sometimes it just takes years for it to happen, THANK you for helping mine come true. This MIGHT be the end of the story but I doubt it.
COMMUNITY members can contact me for further details. Tight lines.

Congrats Bob in having your dreams come true. First the new truck and now your old / new place. I'm sure you'll get a lot of help from the BWE community. Tight Lines, Mark.
