Today we cruised the Coinjock Bay into the North Landing River up the Albemarle and Chesapeake Canal into the Southern Branch of the Elizabeth River to dock at Tidewater Yacht Marina which is right beside the Navy Hospital on Crawford Bay. The journey took us through six bridges, a very large lock and a seven-mile-long congested stretch with a six-mph speed limit. Large Navel vessels are everywhere here and Norfolk is the home of The Norfolk Naval Station - the largest naval installation in the world! We will stay here for three nights as Nandad will get his second shot on Tuesday and we will head to Kilmarnock on Wednesday. Lots of time to explore this very historic area.
These are the two boats in front of us in the lock - I can’t imagine a full lock !
The picture below is some kind of structure that Nana is very curious about. They were scattered all along the route from Little Alligator River up to just after Coinjock. She is on a mission to find out from the locals what they are for!
