I’m waiting at the London Eye Pier when a shiny red speedboat comes zigzagging toward me. This is my ride for the day and I climb aboard the RIB, a high-performance rigid inflatable boat that is lightweight and can operate with a speed between 40 and 70 knots (74 and 130 kilometers per hour). I’m totally ready for […]
Bond Girl Guide to London
