The Enigma

The three answer words to this flat (in capital letters) have five letters each and differ only by their third letters.

The captain walked 'round the large
   wheelhouse,
Then _ _ V_ _ed, and soon paced once
   more.
The tug at the mouth of the harbor
Awaited the dallying _ _ L _ _.
His wife, at the dock, was a-watching
And passing the time with crochet.
(Her goal was a doily with _ _ C _ _s
Along every edge, by the way.)

Answers:

PIVOTed
PILOT
PICOTs
