Riley and Elayna from Sailing La Vagabonde joined us in Episode 57 of The Sailing Podcast to talk moustaches, music and making videos. Hear about how their audience is rewarding their adventurous spirit through http://www.patreon.com/lavagabonde

The story of La Vagabonde started with Riley searching for a yacht to sail single-handed, which led to finding La Vagabonde in Italy. From here he crossed paths with Elayna, who joined Riley to sail throughout Europe and across the Atlantic.

Elayna began producing videos of the trip and posted them to YouTube for the entertainment of friends and then began to notice many others were starting to watch and share their videos. Their following quickly grew to 36,500 subscribers and their first video has over 600,000 views to date.

In this episode we hear about:

- How Riley found a yacht, sailing and Elayna
- How Elayna began producing videos of the journey
- How their audience is supporting them via Patreon.com

Nice episode of the sailing podcast! I realize this was recorded months ago so I wondered what they were getting per episode now....

La Vagabonde is now up to $5100 per episode!

well if La V. is up to that much, one wonders why they found it necessary to steal items from the upturned catamaran?

And they have recently passed 100,000 YouTube subscribers. They posted a video about this and alluded to some other projects taking up their time. I wouldn't be surprised if they have been offered some sort of professional deal. Congrats to them for putting in the hard work and getting to this point.

Well they weren't making money at that time but in any case I only remember them salvaging a music cd.

They STOLE the music CD, and were going for more, when someone, perhaps the owner? ran them off. Those kids were engaging in theft. We're not talking about a long-abandoned boat offshore here.
