@ultimatehaki I think the typesetter missed the word being of "being a gentleman is hard". The meaning is that she as a female can do things that would be interpreted as sexual harassment if done by a man, and because of that he's envious of his sister.
My group has had such a bad track record with boats (not just with our current DM, but with various ones) that we've collectively sworn them off. If we need to get somewhere we either:
A) Teleporting
B) Flying.
C) Walking
If none of those are options, we will dig our way there if we have to, but we're not going by boat.
