There won't be any place to anchor on the river, Skip. Noank Village
Boatyard has moorings. $1.50 per foot per night. Free launch service 7
days a week with mooring. Run by very nice folks.

You can also dinghy up river to the town dinghy dock just below the
bascule bridge. That's directly in downtown. Not sure about buses to
Walmart, but there are local taxis.
Both North Cove Yacht Club and Duck Island Yacht club have mini-cruises
going to Mystic this weekend, so places very close to the village may be
problematic.
During the "season" it's always smart to call ahead! That sort of
thing happens a lot, as Mystic is a very attractive destination for
groups. Noank Village Boatyard is down river, and has about 120
moorings near the mouth. That's still less than a 2 mile dinghy ride
to the downtown dinghy dock. The same folks who own Noank Village
Boatyard also own Mystic Shipyard, further up, but they only have
slips there. I don't think Skip is prepared for the high slip fees in
this part of the world!
Noank Shipyard is downriver and has somewhat fewer moorings.
Note that some of these marinas have confusingly similar names. Noank
Shipyard is not owned by the folks who own Noank Village Boatyard and
Mystic Shipyard.
