On November 6, 2012, Mexico
brand ambassador Galia Moss began her solo sailing journey around Latin America . This beautiful sailor is currently
traveling a seemingly impossible 14,500 nautical miles starting in Mexico's Riviera Maya, passing
the tip of Argentina and
back north to finish her expedition on the sunny shores of the Mexican beach
city of Acapulco .
Once Galia reaches her destination after approximately 180 days, she will
proudly become the first Mexican woman to solo sail around Latin
America .
Mexico Today had the honor to witness the Galia Moss sendoff
ceremony, hosted by the incredible Xcaret nature park just south of the city of
Playa del
Carmen. It was a picture perfect Tuesday afternoon as dozens of press members,
hundreds of Xcaret guests and a small crowd of family and friends gathered
around the park's extensive bay to say their farewells. A tearful Galia
mentioned that even while out at sea, she was thrilled to have consistent
contact with family members around the world during her upcoming exodus. She
appeared a bit hesitant when her team told her it was time to go, but Galia
bravely strolled back to check out the sailboat's equipment before the final
goodbye. While she sat by the boat with her feet dangling off the dock, she
looked a little lonely as I realized that she had dared to spend several months
of her life on previous solitary journeys, and this probably wouldn't be her
last.
Several of Galia Moss' friends, family members and
supporters joined her on the dock, each handing her a white rose. I spotted
several of her loved ones crying as they stepped away, reminding us all that
Galia's travels would last far beyond this beautiful goodbye ceremony.
