IMAGE CAPTION: Philip Earle’s debut novel, “I’ll Go the Length of Meself.”<\/em><\/p>\n
As a boy sailing the North Atlantic on his father\u2019s schooners, Captain Guy Earle became a brilliant navigator and coastal captain at 16, and then, after falsifying his age by three years to successfully write the exam, he became a master mariner at 18 – the youngest registered master mariner in history. Retold by his son, Philip Earle, the novel explores Captain Guy\u2019s daring adventures, his seafaring life, and touches on the lives the dear Captain helped in his decades on the water.<\/p>\n
\u201cMany people who knew my father asked me to write Guy\u2019s story. But my main motivation was because I found my father to be the most incredible man I have ever known,\u201d says author Philip Earle when asked why he wrote the book. \u201cWhen I was a boy, I thought everybody\u2019s father must be like Superman, but the longer I have lived, it is obvious to me that no one was like Skipper Guy.\u201d<\/p>\n
Released in March 2022, \u201cI\u2019ll Go the Length of Meself\u201d is already receiving rave reviews. IndieReader celebrates the novel as \u201cnot only a touching tribute to Skipper Guy Earle, but also a warm, nostalgic look back at an entire culture and its character and values,\u201d with Kirkus Reviews describing it as \u201can intriguing account of a Newfoundland mariner\u2019s impressive life.\u201d<\/p>\n
PHILIP EARLE hopes to showcase his father\u2019s legacy as a great mariner, businessman, humanitarian and exhibitionist, along with many other attributes. \u201cThere will never be another Guy Earle, there couldn\u2019t be. This is his story, and I\u2019m proud to share it.\u201d<\/p>\n
