Incidentally - there was a letter in USAA news where a guy said that a
ship is not properly referred to as at the dock unless it is in dry
dock - that it is moored. Do you guys agree with that? (I think I'm
up to date on the difference between a ship and a boat, but I never
heard of that one.)

Rosalie, it's been over 40 years now, but on our destroyer the call
was "moored" when the first line went over.
