- EPISODE 38
Sometimes life can get a bit much. Trying to manage a full time job along side a full time project to build a dream and also have a life on top of it all can take its toll.
When unexpected situations arise then the best thing we can do is give ourselves the time we need to be able to deal with what ever comes our way.
The last few months have been really tough and if i'm honest i was beginning to really struggle so i had to make that choice.
Unfortunately this meant the boatwork had to slow right down and i needed to give myself some space.
I have been working hard to get back on top and can finally see the light at the end of the tunnel.
But the work did not stop completely! In this episode i touch on a few of the exciting things that have been going on and will be coming up in the next few months and episodes.

Thank you all for watching!
See you next time.
Hey Finn, don't worry about us, we'll be here for you whatever - the most important thing is to look after yourself and do what you need to do to achieve that. Great to see you are OK, just do things at our own speed mate.
What he said.
While you talk the dog is building the boat…👍
Er, did you say building..?
You take your time mate...the last thing we want is to see you burn out. What a score on the rigging etc...well done!
Good to see you Finn
Well done Finn, for recognising you needed a break! Remember the reason people watch your videos is because you are doing something that many do not have the skills or the vision needed, also I take inspiration from you for my own watery project. Thank you! Here for the long haul👍
no need to apologze. You have a most interesting project and we are here and we will be here. Thank you for sharing your project with us.
Welcome back! Rome wasn’t built in a day. Once you are done, sailing will be great for your mental state. I say again what a huge part you played in that he rebuilding of Tally Ho
To be fair my conservatory wasn't built in a day, and I don't know how that compares to Rome...
Your dog wanted to show us the fuel tank dip stick. Clever dog.
Holy Cow !!! That rig looks fantastic ! She is going to look so fine when she's in the water and sailing.
Like the other commenters, I'm delighted to see you back posting videos. I'm very aware of the stresses that build up trying to get a boat rebuilt as well as carrying on a full-time job and with family commitments having done the same thing on a much smaller boat back in 2015, so, personally, I have no issue whatsoever with your "holiday" from posting.
I look forward to seeing how you get on with the rebuild in the coming months.
Finn you talked perfect sense in looking after yourself glad to see that you are getting better and not losing interest in the boat.
Thanks for the update, we all appreciate the work you are putting in to bring us along. Wow the rig is a huge bonus !
Just thinking about you. Glad to see your progress!
No worries bro welcome back, we’re watching at your pace.
1700 plus views and 806 likes - all in 2 hours of posting tells you Finn we all "have your back" wherever life takes you mate, we are just rapt to see you looking well and, on our screens again!
Hey!!! so good to see you, hope you are well!
Great news about the rig, what a find.
Good to see you back.
Finn, a journey of a thousand miles :) I’m glad you’re back matey
Finn!, Lovely to see you again, and nice to hear that you know when to take a break, its healthy.
Happy to see you back and I'm glad you were able to take the time off you needed. Looking forward to your progress.
Right on, Finn. Been following you since Tally Ho. I’m here for the journey, no matter how long that takes 🤙
we underestimate the work that goes into producing TH-cam content. Andy from Sailing Melody has just gone through a similar experience. Working long hours trying to beat impossible deadlines and putting too much strain on himself, both physically and mentally. Take care.
It’s a tough gig, just gotta to keep plugging away!
Welcome back. 🇨🇦
Good to see you back Finn, your boat, your project, your time and your decisions.😉👍⛵️
Like everyone said...look after yourself, and the work will be done whenever you are ready to do it. The boat isn't going anywhere, and neither are we.
All the best.
Always worth waiting for.
Chuffed to bits to see you back Finn, no worries, do what you need to do, when you need to do it. Cheers The Senior confessor
Glad to see you back Finn. The past month or so, I was wondering what became of you. Amazing how life stuff can wade thing up. You say your OK, just make sure you are! We'll all still be hanging around. Cheers from Sequim.
It's OK Finn, we enjoy what you can post and know that some times life just take over. Do your best and we'll stay tune in.
it just takes as long as it takes.... Stay healthy, rested, fit, don't overwork yourself. It's incredibly difficult to manage such a big project alongside a job, friends, family and personal worries. And congratulations on the opportunity to buy the complete rig. It must feel good to have one less thing to worry about....
YAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Good for you! We are still here and tune you in! Rich
Great to have you back, Finn. Take care and look after yourself first, we can wait.
Good to see you back Finn, positivity shining through this update. cheers
Good to see you back. Set your pace and steady as she goes. Awesome score on the rig!
Welcome back Finn.
Great to see you back!
Don't worry Finn just glad to see you back well done getting the rigging spars and sails that must be a weight of your mind look forward to next time keeping smiling matey 😊😊
Good to see you .
Hang in there Finn, we will be with you the whole way. The only important time line is your own.
Good to hear from you! Life is to short to make a good part of it miserable. Take care of yourself, and the rest will fall in line.
Keep up the great work. I enjoy watching the boat come together. Can't wait to see it in the water.
Finn we missed you! One worries when there is a delay in videos as so many things can happen. Your talent will get you through this build and I'm excited for the journey. Take all the time you need to keep sane, we will be here!
Haven’t given up on you either. Love your progress, big or small.
Funny how life gets in the way of pleasure. Just "keep on keeping on".
Thank you, a great synopsis as alway.
No matter when you post, it's always a pleasant surprise...
Good to see you again. Hang in there brother!
Not going anywhere! Welcome back! Nice to see a new video again.
Welcome back Life does get heavy at times stopping and regrouping is a great way to recoup awesome job and progress
a very great pleasure to see you again continuing to build this pretty boat
Happy to see you back! It is most important that you keep yourself healthy and enjoy this work. I also appreciate that you show the hard combination of a normal life, meaning earning money, doing this big restauration of the boat and on top recording, editing, rediting … and so on. I do nothing comparable of such complexity and size. I already get upset forgetting the hammer when I arrived in the 2nd floor or dropping a screw while being on a ladder and holding everything in place. It is great what you do and I also enjoy your style much! Do things at your pace, its certainly the right pace for me to follow and lightspeed faster than me trying it.
Good to see you back Finn. You did not want to be there in the winter anyway.
Hope everything is now sorted to your satisfaction - life happens!
Worth the wait!
Finn ,life is life ,great to see ya back
No excuse needed Glad to see you back Finn!
Great to see you’re back! Your health is your first priority. Take care of yourself und we’ll wait for you. All the best.
No worries Finn good to see you and the your boat back , looking after yourself comes first and nice catch with the rig
Look after yourself, after all your health and well being are the most important thing that should be at your utmost priority. Don't feel obligated to anything other than your health. Cheers!!!
Hi Finn, real life comes first..
You're healthy & safe and that's really all that matters in the grand scheme of things.
Take it easy, do what you can when you can or it will become a soul destroying chore and no longer fun for you
Life often gets in the way! Good to see you back. 🤓
Finn, no need to apologize. If you said nothing at all, about half of us would just assume we somehow missed your videos or that TH-cam screwed it up. I've been working on restoring my Hallberg-Rassy P28 for about 18 years and by comparison you are rocking along.
Glad to see that you're still at it and making progress. Good luck to you Finn!
Finn, glad you are doing well. Keep the pace that works for you. Cheers!
Great to see you back Finn !
Nice to see you back. Onwards and upwards.
Welcome back always brilliant content. :)
Hi Finn, don't need to apologise, we love your content.
Sometimes you need to back up to get a running start. Rock on.
Keep going Finn. Look after yourself.
One of my favorite builds is back! So glad to see you Finn, hopefully we'll see alot more.
Nice to see you are still alive and kicking and making progress, life sends you the occasional hurdle to jump, or detour to take, hopefully your life will settle a little enough to make progress with your boat and we are always happy to see how the project is coming along.
good to see you again. here's a comment for the algorithm
Nice to see you again, i thought you was gone forever and was so glad to see you post this video. Welcome back and im looking forward for your videos ahead. Regards Martin
Thanks, don’t worry I’m here for the long haul, I may disappear from time to time but I’ll never give up!
Finn, the sails acquisition is a real coupe.
Best wishes.
Hey Finn! Don't worry about a thing! Life sure does get in the way doesn't it? I have so many projects I'm working on over here in Atlanta Ga..then stupid work gets in the way. Good to see you and hear from you. Your boat is gonna be great!
Good on ya mate. Nice to see you back. Stay chill and go at your own comfort pace.
I'm so glad you are back :)
I was just hoping that one of your episodes would hit soon, and I'm glad to see this pop up!
Life is.
No worries.
Content is good.🙂
Happy Solstice.
A lot of us knew in the backs of our minds that you were getting sorted in your life and you had this big boat project still looming.
We all knew you have the character and perseverance to continue forward.
This video was a good mix of your life, projects, and responsibilities. You’re up to this, my young friend!
You are too kind! Thank you very much 🙏
No worries Finn. Life must come first, even ahead of a boat build (I know that is hard to believe) so hang in there and we will too!
Priorities, Finn. We can't watch you unless you are there, and for you to be there, you have to be ok. Look after yourself, mate! as others have said, we'll be here.
Great work Finn. I can empathise very well, it’s so hard to bring work, personal life and boatbuilding together. I‘m doing this since 3 years 😅. Courage! 👍🏾
Life is hard dude. Don't burn out and start hating the project. There's no time pressure except that which you assign yourself.
We'll always be here eagerly awaiting your next video no matter how long it takes
Great to have you back.
Fantastic Finn' what a huge leap fwd to have your rig spars,rigging and sails! Must have cost a pretty penny = your labor to pay for it.
Enjoy some summer yummy Uk beers 😉👍
Thanks 👍
godspeed finn.
Dear Finn.
👍👌👏 Congratulations 🎉 for realising, that health is the most important/precious thing in life.
Best regards, luck and health in particular.
Groovey dude!

There's no rush!!
Nice score on the rigging!!

Great to see you back about it, Finn!
Hanging in there is sometimes fraught with obstacles eh!! all the best to your endeavors!!
We're still here and still interested in your project. Move at a pace that's comfortable for you. We'll be patient and will look forward to future videos as they happen. Thanks for the update. God bless.
I'm so glad that you're back mate 👍
No need to apologize Finn! As others have said, we’re here for you. Take things at your own pace. Your wellbeing comes first.
Good to see you back Finn ...I think with your Project ....The best is yet to come !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Kool!
Good to see you again Finn...
Hey, life gets in the way, good to see you
Ah, there you are, Finn. Good to have you back. Your poch was hilarious as you tried to explain what's been going on. Worth the watch, just for that. I think they stole the show, Sir. Thanks for sharing. :-)
