started working on tour and whale watching boats in 2001. It combined her love for nature and her interest in helping others to enjoy it. She is also an avid birder, and has worked as a volunteer interpreter for the Eagle Watchers on the Skagit River since 1997, where she helps visitors observe the local eagle population.  She is also a founding member of the Northwest Wildlife Rehabilitation Center and currently acting vice-president. Christine is also a board member for the North Cascades Audubon Society in Bellingham, Washington. When not watching birds or cooking on the David B, Christine enjoys long distance running and downhill skiing.

Born and raised a few miles outside of Seattle, Christine spent many weekends and summers at her grandparents' farm where she learned the value of fresh fruits and vegetables. As your host and your cook she is dedicated finding local farmers and fishermen to bring a distinct Northwest flavor to the table of the David B. Christine has also owned a small gardening business in Bellingham and enjoys talking about plants.

When you come along on the David B, the galley is always a place for good food and conversation. Christine would love to cook for you, and point out some wildlife along the way, on your next trip on the David B.
