Freebird One - A Luxury Adventure
*** WHAT IS IT? *****
This summer (2007), my family and I holidayed on the island of Tenerife. We wanted to experience a bit more than the hotel facilities, so after attending the Rep's welcome meeting, I decided to book the Freebird One Experience.
Freebird Sailing was founded in 1994, specialising in cruises aboard a luxury 30-seater catamaran. They proud themselves with the title of being "the largest catamaran service in the Canary Islands" and whilst in Tenerife I witnessed no other catamaran passing us on the sea. There is also a Freebird 2 and a 3. The Freebird Two is about 25 metres long and has a passenger capacity of 126. This catamaran has six large netting areas at the front.
These nets have nothing underneath and resemble a trampoline, except underneath is the deep ...
Advantages: Very robust and firm wheel. wireless Disadvantages: MAY STRIKE SOME AS "CHEAP" LOOKING
This wheel comes extremely well packaged and may take you a few mintues to actually get into it but atleast this lends assurance that it will transport well when it was shipped.
The packages comes in 3 separate parts:
>Wheel
>Pedals
>Table attachement
WHEEL:
The wheel itself is covered in a highly durable rubber covering making it very easy to keep a grip on it, which is an important feature if like me yours hands can sweat in the middle of an intense race. The wheel also has all the buttons you would find on a normal controller and they are all intuitively placed. The X,Y, A,B buttons are placed in easy reach of the thumb so when driving they are easy reachablt. The trigger buttons are also present as large levers placed directly behind the wheel so as you can easily use them but with enough room between them and the wheel ...
Advantages: hot sunshine, sea life Disadvantages: can get too hot if there is no breeze
I have been going to Tenerife for the last 5 years and every year it is not complete without a trip on the catamaran. Going out to see and seeing all the lovely whales and dolphins in their natural habitat is amazing. They look so free and happy that it makes the whole trip a pleasure.Put that together with the free food, drink and the beating hot sunshine this is definately a trip to take.
They also have sun cream experts on board who do actually know what they are talking about. My partner had a really bad heat rash which was turning into water blisters all over his chest. This lady gave him some cream that would help this go down, protect him from the sun and also still let him get tanned. The products were definately worth the amount we paid for them.
The trip costs around 40 euros each and you have the choice of going on a 3 ...
