Our last day in Branford  started out with Carl being hauled up the mast again to replace the mast light with the new one he bought.. I must say we  are getting better at hooking him to the halyard and getting him up there.. After that he had to take a look at the stove as it wouldn't light this morning.. Poor Carl always something.. We had one empty tank and the other was 1/2 full so propane was put on the list of thing to get.. He talked to the man with the anchor and it was just what we wanted so we told him we would be by later to get it. Since Ralph is going to be driving us around and it would be easier to put the anchor on the boat from a dock , we decided to move the boat back to the town dock.. As we approached the dock we saw 5 adults and 3 kids that looked like they were reading a play or something. They had lots of items on the dock with them. As we tied up the boat we saw they had a bushel of crabs , bags of lobster, and a bucket of eel's..Creepy... I asked what they were doing and they just said they were Buddhist and were returning  them to the sea.. They had gone to the store and purchased all of them to save them from being eaten. Buddhist are vegetarians  and don't believe in eating anything that has a face. Asked if I would like to throw some back I figure what the heck it may be good for my karma, being I cooked so many of them.When they were done, I asked the little boy if he wanted to see the boat and was answered with an big smile and yes.. Ralph blew in and we disembarked the boat and headed for the car. He took us right to met the guy with the anchor and Carl was able to get him down to $176.00 with 20 ft of 3/8 chain attached. Next stop propane.They only had one young girl working and she wasn't very knowledgeable about filling the tanks, Carl had to help her. This took some time as she had to keep running back to the store to wait on customers..Crazy who would let her be alone like that...I asked Ralph if they had any clam shack close as I would love some clams. So we head down to the docks for lunch. We stopped at one place way to fancy/pricey for us, next stop the Lobster Shack, they didn't have any clams but they had lobster rolls and sausage and peppers  roll for Carl.. Ralph and I had the lobster roll, man were they good!! The ones I had at the clam shack we not this good.. Now I know how to make them...It was so cool to have on in New England... Dropped back at the boat we said our goodbye's and thanked him for having us with an open invitation  to Fla any time they want to come.The propane tanks were tied on, so it was time to fill the diesel , water and pump out as we were leaving in the morning. Back on the hook ,Carl  went to work on the anchor. He had to braid a line onto the chain. He looked up how to do it in his Chapman's Manuel. I was pretty impressed..  The stove wouldn't work so Carl called Bob Smoot for some advise( Bob is a repair man with a propane company) and I cooked dinner on the grill.. Branford was a lovely stop..The town had that old New England look and the people (other than the town jerk) were great. It was so nice to see where Ma Slater grew up.. it made me feel even closer to her than I already do.. This was magnificent....
