It says in the rulebook that Devil Reef can only be reached by aquatic movement. You're saying that isn't defined, but aquatic movement does have a definition for investigators. In the Innsmouth rulebook, right after that, it says "Investigators can use the Falcon Point location ability to make aquatic moves as needed", and it defines what an aquatic move is on the text for Falcon Point. It just so happens that Silas can make aquatic moves without an investigator using Falcon Point. I think the intent is pretty clearly disallowing the patrol wagon. You can use the wagon to get to Falcon Point, but then have to charter a boat.
You've contradicted yourself in your own post. You say that "aquatic movement" is defined for the Investigators by Falcon Point but Silas can do it as well. What part of Falcon Point refers to Silas? What part of Silas refers to Falcon Point? They don't.
The text of Falcon Point allows you to move to an aquatic location and have an encounter (incidentally, the text of Falcon Point suggests you have an encounter during the movement phase thus resulting in two encounters at the same location as you then have another one during the encounter phase like normal). That's all that Falcon point says - move to an aquatic location. And if that's all the definition is for "aquatic movement" for the investigators, well then the Patrol Wagon lets you do that too. So what about the text of Falcon Point do you believe stops the use of Patrol Wagon to move to Devil Reef?
And once you've explained, then please also answer why your first explanation doesn't stop you coming out of a gate from another world onto Devil Reef. What rule allows me to emerge from Yuggoth there - which isn't an aquatic movement according to the text of Falcon Point but is obviously allowable and legal - but not move there using the Patrol Wagon?
