World of McCool

Okay, so I know people are probably wondering what’s going on with me, and I promise I’ll get to telling about it, but first it’s time to get a few things straight. I can’t deal with the conflict I go through everytime I get on here to post entries or tell stories. Lots […]

I cannot tell of the things that I am experiencing. I wish I could transmute the significance of that which I have gotten myself into, but to do so is beyond the limitations imposed on us by a cultural mindset. I can say that I am exactly where I envisioned myself in […]

After a few days on Isla Isabela, we jumped the rest of the way across to the mainland, where anchored out by San Blas. San Blas is a wonderful little town. Longfellow wrote a poem about the bells of San Blas, which we heard ringing when we were in the town square. […]

The sail across to the mainland was nice. We motored very little, and had pretty decent seas. We were blessed with many whale sightings, and we had some dolphins ride the bow for a while, which is always a nice treat.

After a week or so in the Islands, we sailed back to La Paz, where Todd and Susan planned to spend the holidays while Sequoia flew back to San Fran to visit her dad. This was the point when I was to go my own way, but fortunately, Sandy and Andy offered to give […]

Hello world outside of my own! I have traveled long and far to find an internet cafe so that I can fill this blog with more stories of adventure, of which there is plenty. I’ve been up to all sorts of things, about which I plan to write in sections pretty soon here. […]

Today is our final day in La Paz. When we first got here, we talked with lots of people who winter here, and they all warned us that this is sort of a black hole, where many come for a short visit and end up staying for the long run. Marina La Paz […]

This list changes for me frequently, but I’ve decided to post my current top ten artists and albums list. Please note that this is not a declaration of what I consider to be the best music ever made, but rather the music that I happen to like the most. (The difference lying primarily […]

Earlier this year I heard that Radiohead was putting a new album out, and I was sad that I would be out of the country and probably pretty broke when it did. But to my delight, Andy of Imagine is also a big Radiohead fan, and he had a copy of it, which he […]
