A slip may be viewed as a remote garage of sorts. It 'houses' the
boat
and keeps it securely tied to land



Slips tied to land???? You mean moorings aren't stuck in the ground
too?
The fact is that slips are generally floating and the boat is tied to
a FLOATING dock. A mooring means the boat is anchored directly and
therefore if MORE connected to land. And my slip is further from land
than many nearby moorings!
Man, these sockpuppets are stoooped!
