We spotted Alice rollerblading around the Southampton Boat Show with a sign that said "Information: Stop Me and Ask!" So we did.

Our 2013 European boat show tour provided a lot of unexpected surprises: finding a relatively affordable one-man submarine, a hovercraft designed for kids, and the world's most powerful production PWC, to name a few. But one of the best finds wasn't a thing at all: it was Alice the Info Girl. We discovered Alice zooming around the show on a pair of roller-blades, equipped with a big sign that said "Information, Stop and Ask" and a FRS radio. She was also armed with a vast array of knowledge: how to get around the show, directions to different displays, and tips on numerous attractions. And if she didn't know the answer to your questions right off the top of her head, she'd call and find out. Now, she wasn't the only info-helper skating around the show. In fact, there was a troop of them blasting this way and that, helpfully answering questions from show-goers. And they all had one thing in common, which explains why they were so good on roller-blades. For the other info-bladers, this common thread wouldn't raise an eyebrow. But when it came to Alice... well, we'll let her explain for herself.
The people of Porto hold a huge celebration for the festival of São João (Saint John) on 23rd June. And by luck we were in Porto on the day after the festival, when the Rabelo Boat Regatta is held on the River Douro in the heart of the City. These shallow, flat bottom boats were originally used to transport the Port wine from the vineyards on the steep slopes of the extensive Douro River to the wineries in Porto, for ageing. These traditional boats were beginning to disappear by the early 1980s, so the Winery Brotherhood initiated the regatta, in which all of the major wineries are represented by their own boat each year.
