Am I the only sailor here? To moor a boat has nothing to do with a dock. It's putting the boat on a mooring--one of those buoys you see out in the harbor. Putting it on a dock is docking your boat (and if you're a viking, you'd better dock it on the Port side, so you don't mess up your Starboard). This is the second time I've seen it misused in the NYT crossword. Enjoy doing this every day! It's a victory if I don't need a cheat or two on the wednesday puzzle.

@Barry Ancona That makes sense now that you point it out. Sort of a "jack of all trades, master of none" result, not surprising given the size of the task.
