Dina & Peter Berkhout
Peter and Dina just completed a cruise on the HMS Bounty as crew, first mate and chef, on the HMS Bounty, one of the most famous ships in the world. Known for the storied mutiny that took place in Tahiti in 1789 on board the British transport vessel, the current Bounty, a replica, has survived to tell the tale.
Peter has roots in the Bay Area, having graduated from Dominican University of CA, obtaining a teaching credential and teaching math and science at Tamalpais High School in Mill Valley for five years until 2009. Prior to that, he was1st mate and engineer for the S/V Hawaiian Chieftain, a 103′ ketch-rig sailboat. Peter also was the captain of the Tiburon-Angel Island ferry.
Dina has a BFA from Milwaukee Institute of Art & Design and has worked in a number of food service positions in addition to the HMS Bounty, including Roots Restaurant & Cellar in Milwaukee, WI, and chef on the West Island College/Class Afloat (S/V Concordia). She has traveled extensively, including a transatlantic sailing voyage from Nova Scotia to West Africa, cooking for 65. She is excited to share her passion for world cuisine and artfully works it into classical dishes. Please join us in welcoming them both.

“It’s late afternoon when I arrive – in time to watch the sunset – so I climb the spiral staircase leading up the lighthouse tower to a walkway. . .The view puts me in a philosophical mood: I can’t help but think of the lighthouse as a beacon of hope. . .”
