We are Tom and Jean Keevil, plus our Portuguese water dog Schooner. Our primary residence is the small town of Ashland, in the mountains of southwest Oregon, where we have lived for over 40 years. We also spend considerable time at our cottage on Protection Island, located in the harbour of Nanaimo, British Columbia. We keep our boat Rover in the town of Ladysmith in the Canadian Gulf Islands.
Tom is a retired chemistry professor, and Jean is a retired physician. In the past, we often chartered sailboats with our children and friends in the Salish Sea, but did not acquire our own boat until 2002. Based in Charleston, Oregon, we sailed up and down the Oregon Coast until our retirement, when we sailed the boat north. In addition to offshore sailing in Oregon and Washington, our experience includes a circumnavigation of Vancouver Island, and sailing the Irish Sea on a one month boat swap.
