I was rather hoping for something like this:

< 98 > It is widely maintained that the reference to Ky'Trrk visiting Ny'Akkk on the planet Disfaros (DS9, Episode 578, Act I, Scene IV) implies that Ky'Trrk must have swam to the island on which Ny'Akkk was living. The usual logic supplied is that episode 578 was set on Star Date 9293.234 and the Klingon's didn't invent bridges until Star Date 9296.345.

This thinking, however, is clearly fallacious. Whilst there wouldn't have been a bridge, it is perfectly possible that Ky'Trrk had a pair of hover boots rendering the lack of bridges completely moot.

+10 @Scotty: Nonsense, Klingons did not have hover boots until they defeated the Romulans in the Zeta Zone. T'Pau 458,456

+926 @T'Pau: But the Klingon's did have time travel in 9293.234 so it would have been easy for Ky'Trrk to travel forwards in time and get the hover boots. KirkFan97 26,382

+483 @KirkFan97: Pish, tish and tosh! The anti-grav mechanism of the hover boots could not survive reverse travel in time as the intrograspulator would become demagnitised by the photonic effect of the radyonic crystals. This can be succinctly described by the equation x:R⊢P(x)and⊢(∀x:R)P(x) which clearly proves that hover boots are only available to a maximum size of 12, whereas it is postulated by Postlethwaite and Gibbs in their definitive text Shoe Sizes of the Star Trek Universe that no adult Klingon has feet smaller than size 14.
