My wife and I, when not on Jalapeño
(our Irwin 52), live in the mountains of Central Mexico, thus the
name Jalapeño. I lived on a sailboat for 20 years in Miami
and missed the cruising lifestyle. I decided that I would like to
buy a boat that I could handle with my wife and one that would make
her comfortable and not feel like she was "camping out".
The Irwin 52 with its' large tankage, spacious areas and air-conditioning
seemed to be a lot of "bang for the buck". My wife loves
to cook and in the spacious well-equipped galley cooking has become
one of her favorite pastimes. At the onset of our adventure she
was somewhat reluctant but after seven years of cruising the Caribbean
my wife is more enthusiastic to return to Jalapeño than I
would have ever imagined.
