None.

Observed extremes

How fast she’s gone.

Observed top speed
20.0 kn · 7 Apr 2026 · off Charleston, SC · NOAA archive
Fastest leg
Charleston, SC to Savannah, GA · 10 h 22 m · 7.1 kn average · 7 Apr 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.
