Island Hopping, Burgers, and Live Music

(bad weather fallback date: 25 June)

Dear ZOWSPers

Every summer, ZOWSP goes island hopping.

There are two islands at the end of Lake Zurich: Ufnau & Lützelau
Every Thursday evening on Lützelau, there is free live music at the restaurant.
On Thursday 4 June Jörg Danielsen will be performing (more info: https://insel-luetzelau.ch/restaurant/)

We will:

• leave Zurich by train (S8) at 16:07 to Freienbach
• start swimming from Spielplatz Seeanlage Freienbach to Ufnau at 5pm sharp
• walk across Ufnau
• swim to Lützelau
• order food, drinks, and enjoy live music on Lützelau
• catch a boat to Rapperswil

Please note:

• Signup on this meetup event is mandatory by Monday (3 days before we go), as we need to book boats to get back to Rapperswil.
• Two swim groups: slower (~3:00/100m) & faster (~2:00/100m)
• Total Swim distance: 2.5km, split into 2 parts: before & after walking across Ufnau
• Bring a dry-bag to pack your phones, flip flops, clothes.
• I suspect wetsuits will not be required given how quickly the lake temperature is rising.

In order to participate in this event, you need to leave work early. Here are some excuses you can use:

• I have a dentist appointment (overused & boring, but always works)
• my cat is sick
• it's my {important relative}'s {high-number rounded to the nearest 10}th birthday dinner in Lausanne
• My neighbor just texted me because my dog won't stop barking, and they think a pipe might have burst in the building's hallway. I need to go check on things (the best excuse in this list, because it is too specific to be considered suspicious)

Best,
ZOWSP organising committee
