LSE Alumni Sailing Weekend

LSE Alumni Sailing Weekend

On the 9th and 10th of August, our Alumni group held its first ever LSE Alumni Sailing Weekend on Lake Balaton. Twenty-one of us boarded three sailing boats in Balatonfüred. The perfect morning winds made us reserve a table for lunch in the easternmost corner of the Lake. Yet, as we finished with the first rounds of rosés the wind stopped completely, prompting a change of plans: we swiftly jumped into the water and turned the music louder. The afternoon winds made a short round-trip possible in Füred Bay, before getting back to the shore for some well-deserved lunch. Afterwards, two boats set sail again to watch the sunset from the lake; the other part of the group went ahead to do the shopping and preparations for the party. Our fellow LSE Alumni, Ábel Bojár generously hosted a fantastic BBQ party in Tihany, with some great discussions going late into the night. It was not easy to wake up in the morning, though the coffee machine came to our rescue! A lazy Sunday brunch was still on the agenda, after which we said good-bye to each other. Once again, many thanks to Zoltán Csedő, who masterminded this fabulous weekend! And also, we extend our thanks to all of those who joined and helped in the organisation of this event. We are already looking forward to our next sailing adventure in 2015!
