The HCC Fleet Captain is given considerable leeway on what annual awards to make, based upon the budget and the number of paddlers who have achieved mileage goals.The criteria for counting miles is that they had to be on official HCC trips, which were posted and available to all our members in enough time that they could join a trip if desired.

Note that many club members also paddle additional miles on non-club trips, so their actual annual mileage may be higher than what is represented here for HCC trips only.
