I would have allowed rowboats, personally. It's still moving under your own power.

    With this logic, he could have bicycled.

    Nah, too much complex machinery help. A rowboat is just some wood to sit in and a paddle to push against the water, not a system of wheels and chains designed to move faster with less effort.

    Your argument is different from moving under your own power. Still, i think you’re drawing arbitrary lines for a challenge. Because a boat also enables you to move faster with less effort.

    Frankly even shoes do that.
