Narrative:

I was the pilot not flying. I loaded the route in the FMS and did it by the filed route prior to receiving the clearance. The clearance received was quite different; so I had to adjust the routing. After that; I put the SID in the route and wound up with two gayle/gayel intersections; gayel being the correct one however; I mistakenly erased the correct one. The first officer noticed the distances were not correct sitting in the takeoff position. I should have stopped it then but the position would have lost with a long wait. My first officer was flying pilot and has been in this airplane for some time. On departure the first officer called for flaps up at 200 feet and this distracted me; when his next call was clean wing. Then; he was not tracking the departure; which also distracted me. We were then cleared to gayel intersection; which I went direct to and ATC later asked us where we were going and I said gayel intersection to which he replied you're going to the wrong intersection and spelled the correct one. We then got a heading and speed restriction; which I asked if the first officer had it and he said yes; so I worked on the FMS. The next thing I knew; we were given a query about speed and when I looked up he was going 320 knots. We finally got it sorted out; put in the FMS and went on. It is difficult working with a person and trying to watch the whole airplane. Never doing that again.
