Okay then, rewritten: What word means: "to dip water out of, like from a boat"
Ah-thank you for the clarification. 
Could it be bale? I have an eerie feeling I am wrong.
At least I hope so, that way someone else can have a chance...

to bucket? Nah, bale sounds right to me. But it's worth a try!!! (is there even a verb to bucket?)
Yes, bale is the word for which I was hoping someone would answer so they could be awarded a Wooly Gem; however , we spell it bail over here.
So it is with great pleasure that I found a bright green spearmint hard candy under my bed and can award an Emerald Wooly Gem to Laurelindhe ilmarin with much fanfare and aplume’I think the latter is used to brush the flys away, though they can't get through all the fuzz, so I don't think it is worth the bother.
What word means: "hard to handle; inconvenient to use; unweildly"

The word was "awkward".
What word means: "one who bites a little at a time"

First letter is N.
Is it a nibbler ?
I only wanted to thank Grondy for his magnificent awarding of the lovely emerald WG/candy, but silly, I am from your side of the pond, so I should not have spelled it incorrectly, and thus, I do not deserve such recognition! Therefore...(Oh shut up, self, take the Gem!). 
Nibbler was the word, so Heorogar gets a dark amethyst (grape flavored) Wooly Gem. 
What word means: " a fastening for a door or a gate, especially one capable from being worked from either side by means of a lever and consisting of a bar that falls into a knotch in a piece attached to the door jamb or gatepost."

You got it Stonehelm, and a citrine (lemon flavored) Wooly Gem.

Yes, Jeffrey2376 got the word and for him, I just happened to find a cinnamon-apple pie flavored Wooly Gem hiding under my bed.
What word means: "to bend the body donward and forward; to bend or lean forward or in a crouch"
What word means: "to bend the body donward and forward; to bend or lean forward or in a crouch"
To stoop?
To lean down?
The word was stoop, so Andrea has a Jade Wooly Gem. (Smells a lot like a lump of spinach, but how it ever got under my bed I doubt if we'll ever know.)
What word means: "to rove or wander over in a stealthy manner in search of prey"

Or stalk's brother, Hunt?
Hint: First letter is P.

Adreia as it and an onyx Wooly Gem (licorice flavored)

A moat?

Moat it was, Heorogar has a red and white striped Wooly Gem.

Link?
Bonds?
I don't know how I skipped this thread, but Link was the word; so Vee gets a red and white striped Wooly Gem.
What word means: "to find fault with constantly; to scold continuously; to be continually pestering with complaints or faultfinding?"

Perturbed?
Ooh, I should know this one...or at least my hubby should...could it be nag?
Yep, nag was the word so, Laurelindhe ilmarin gets a green and white swirled Wooly Gem. (I dumped a whole bag of hard Christmas candies under the bed yesterday morning as I was emptying my Christmas stocking in order to wear it again.)
What word means: "to journey from one place to another"
What word means: "to journey from one place to another"
Is it travel, my dear Grondy?
Move?
Or perhaps it is to venture?
Could it be the art of wandering?
a trip?
how about sojourn?
Meander?
It was travel, though your other guesses were good. Lord_aragorn86 gets the Wooly Gem (another red and white pinstriped one with the proverbial Dust Bunny fuzz)
What word means: "an interruption of continuity; blank space; hiatus; lacuna"
What word means: "an interruption of continuity; blank space; hiatus; lacuna"
Could lapse be the word that you are looking for Grondy?
Perhaps a chasm?
Or perhaps void?
it's gotta be a cat... which is uhh, black, and likes to fly around in hiatus. If it's not cat then my next guess is dog!
Well no, none of the above, though T’rin turambar's "cat" contains the correct number of letters. 
How about gap?
Princess_L’thien has the word and a strawberry flavored Wooly Gem.
What word means: "to mend (cloth, etc.) or repair (a hole or tear in cloth) by sewing a network of stitches across the gap"

is it to darn?
Yup, that it is Eowiodith unadrieniel; you get a pale blue (crystal mint) Wooly Gem.
What word means: "to leaf rapidly through (a book , etc.), as by letting the edges or corners of the pages slip lightly across the thumb." also " to shuffle (playing cards) by holding part of the deck in each hand, raising the corners or edges slightly, and letting the cards fall alternately together."

Hmm.... might that be to rifle?
