What she holds.
None.
How fast she’s gone.
- Observed top speed
- 20.2 kn · 7 Feb 2026 · off Key West, FL · NOAA archive
- Fastest leg
- Houston, TX to Galveston, TX · 1 h 33 m · 26.6 kn average · 4 Feb 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.
