The window receiver times a gate to about a second; the national archive carries one fix a minute, interpolated to about two. Her two bests are two different measurements and are never ranked against each other.
What she holds.
None.
How fast she’s gone.
- Observed top speed
- 22.4 kn · 24 Apr 2026 · off Miami, FL · NOAA archive
- Fastest leg
- Galveston, TX to Houston, TX · 1 h 28 m · 28.3 kn average · 4 Jun 2026
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.
