'It's been almost 4 years since my last trip to Belize, but I don't think the British have left Belize.'

Theoretically we left in 1994. In reality we are still there!

Oil in the ground is not oil in the market.

Kind of a feel good story here. The oil discovery isn't really important in the big scheme of things but I'm sure the folks in Belize are pleased. I hope these two get wealthy from their venture but I suspect the biggest reward is putting one over on the big boys!

We have an advantage - oil is the same colour as Guinness... it makes it easier to find.

I thought Guinness was only green for St. Patrick's day.


Quality oil is green out of the ground.

Ok, I always thought it was black!

(shhh! don't tell anyone else)

The company expects to be soon producing 20,000 barrels of oil per day

Not bad.

I've never heard of women drillers.

I wouldn't mind 20,000 barrels meself!!
