By December 2004, my wife and I decided to take some time off and drive to Baja Mexico with a couple of friends. We took 2 S16s with us, a prototype of the new motor mount, lashing bars and a couple of small outboard motors.

I am not a huge 'motorhead', and prefer to spend my days paddling instead of hearing the noise of a motor, but it didn't take long for me to get into it. In these photos you'll see us hanging out on the water during a sunrise, putting the lashing bars together, and hanging out on the water.

Once again SOAR's versatilities shined. We were using a boat that recently had been paddled in whitewater, and now we were motoring through big swells, fishing and snorkeling from this fun, fine craft.
