It's hard believe where Lizzy Belle has taken us over the past 5 years. I'll always remember in 2010 a small group of friends rallied around a small, beaten down, have rotten, little wooden boat on a Wharf in Bridgewater, Nova Scotia to paint her hull. From there, she has given us opportunities and experiences far beyond one could ever imagine. One thing seems to be constant though... non stop support and love from friends and family.
Kevin Fraser is one of those friends who joined Lizzy Belle in Bridgewater to paint her hull. He was the first to stand up and volunteer to make a passage from Nova Scotia to Bermuda in October 2011 ( although we had to turn back ). He took his time to join us last February in the Windward Islands to make this film and experience it for himself. Enjoy my friends, Kevin - and his production team - have found a way to creatively capture everything I believe the spirit of Lizzy Belle represents.
Enjoy the film!

Re-propping Lizzy Belle
I have never had to take a propellor off and put a new one back on before...I guess I haven't sailed around the Caribbean before either. Enjoy.
