What she holds.
None.
How fast she’s gone.
- Observed top speed
- 21.4 kn · 28 May 2026 · off Cape Canaveral, FL · NOAA archive
- Fastest leg
- Galveston, TX to Houston, TX · 1 h 31 m · 27.3 kn average · 8 Feb 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.
