Normally it would take somewhere around 6 hours to go the distance between Coinjock and Norfolk. Having done this twice, I'd say it would be smart to allocate all day and don't make appointments in Norfolk for that afternoon. It is a scenic ride. However, you have miles of no-wake zones...5-6 knots max. Then you have bridges that have openning schedules that don't necessarily coincide with each other. Plus you have a lock.
Norfolk is an amazing, busy place with constant traffic on the Elizabeth River. There are a staggering number of military ships coming, going and undergoing repairs. There are huge barges with one or more tugs. Cruise ships make Norfolk a regular port of call. Throw in a mix of sail boats, fishing boats, go-fast boats, and motor cruisers to give you an interesting navigational challenge.
