2c/3 orthogonal is a speed equal to two thirds of the speed of light.
Spaceships
Although spaceships and similar patterns cannot travel any faster than c/2 orthogonal, some against the grain negative spaceship signals in the zebra stripes agar travel at 2c/3.
Fuses
There are three known blinker fuses which travel at 2c/3, the most common of which is shown below, along with two other blinker fuses traveling at the same speed.

The washerwoman also burns at 2c/3.
Puffers
Although spaceships and similar patterns cannot travel any faster than c/2 orthogonal, the blinker fuses above have been used inside masses of spaceships to create slow puffer 1 and slow puffer 2, which in turn can also be turned into rakes and spaceships.
