How fast she’s gone.

Observed top speed
16.0 kn · 11 Jan 2026 · off Los Angeles, CA · NOAA archive

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.
