What she holds.
None.
How fast she’s gone.
- Observed top speed
- 20.3 kn · 25 Jan 2026 · off Miami, FL · NOAA archive
- Fastest leg
- Savannah, GA to Charleston, SC · 17 h 25 m · 4.2 kn average · 20 Jan 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.
