  Descrição

  We are a couple living on a float near the mouth of Knight Inlet. We live in a float house which sits on a cedar raft and is tied to the shore of Baker Island. Land access is by boat only so land outings are limited. We try to grow as much of our kitchen herbs as we can, as well as chard, lettuce, kale and anything else that will grow well in this climate. The garden is all in wooden boxes on the floats. We have five chickens who keep us in eggs, as well as a black Labrador. We also have cabins located in a nearby inlet, which are very remote. We are seeking a couple with carpentry, cleaning and/or gardening skills to live and work with us for a month or two.

  Oportunidades de intercâmbio cultural e aprendizado

  The community of Echo Bay is very small, only about 6 people live here year round. There are sometimes killer whales, humpbacks and dolphins in the area, as well as many other sea mammals. Salmon is often on the menu in the spring/summer months. You will have access to a kayak for outings away from the lodge.

  Algo mais...

  We are off the grid, most of our operation is solar powered, but we do run a generator to keep up if it's not sunny or if our demand is high. All houses are heated with wood, so you'll need to know how to start a fire. We have enjoyed having volunteer helpers for about 15 years now. The nearest town is Port McNeill, 27 miles by boat. For this reason long stays are better, as we don't travel back and forth too often and it's always weather dependent. This position is best suited to a couple or two friends due to safety reasons, we are very remote.
