Given that we’ve entered a world where we cannot distinguish men from women or fuzzies from humans, using the correct epitaph for the season is guaranteed impossible. Is it Merry Christmas, Happy Hanukkah, Seasons Greetings, Happy Holidays, or - taking inspiration from the Babylon Bee - “Greetings Humanoids/Spirit People/Fuzzies of indecipherable and fluid gender, may the next few days be filled with the consumption of mass produced and toxic junk food, your house be filled with plastic junk produced in sweat shops in communist countries under dictators, used once and discarded, and your social life revolve around arguments with relatives best forgotten.” Who knows? No-one, like gender, if you pick your own commemoration and excoriate everyone who picks a different option you’ll be on the right side of history.
But, this post is not a post-truth polemic, it is, in fact, the annual (sort of annual?) best of the year.
Best Single Day Kayak Trip:
No question on this one: Paddling the Kangarutha Coast.
Best Multi Day Kayak Trip:
Bangalee to Clairview and High Peak Island.
Best Single Day Walk:
Best Multi Day Walk:
In the runner up category are the two Nadgee trips I did this year (trip one, trip two). The Nadgee paddle is the best paddle on the southeast coast and should be done by every sea kayaker at least once. The character, however, is changing with more development and more people so if the only reason you haven’t done the Nadgee is because you are afraid of surf landings, get over it, and go.
Most Demoralizing Trip:
Also no competition, our piss-weak attempt on Mother Woila. Maybe, if conditions change, I’ll go back.
Best of the season to you, whatever your age, gender, species, religiousity – or lack thereof.
