    Description

    Are you ready for a basic off grid life in Toronto downtown? Hey my name is Alex and I’m looking for some help with canoe, paddleboard and sailing tours on the Toronto Islands. I would provide food and you would have the whole boat for yourself. I don’t have wifi, but all mobile phones work on the islands.
    I could only offer you the accommodation after in person interview. I might even take you sailing so that you could see weather this is for you.
    So, if you don’t have much luggage, and ready for a very basic accommodation, you are welcome to join my team. You would have a lot of sailing and canoeing experience. Your duty would help me to welcome and assist customers; clean and maintain boats and equipment. I’ll pay minimum wage for up to 4hrs of work per day. Looking forward to meeting you!

    Alex.
