What she holds.
None.
How fast she’s gone.
- Observed top speed
- 15.6 kn · 15 May 2026 · off Oakland, CA · NOAA archive
- Fastest leg
- Los Angeles, CA to Long Beach, CA · 0 h 21 m · 7.8 kn average · 21 May 2026 · to the hour
From our own position archives, with reasonableness checks: a plausible top speed over a corroborated window, a direct leg between two named places. A bound carries no second fix to confirm it and is labelled as one.
