You are correct. I have a mental picture of a rowboater waving a lantern that must have come from a safety course I took many many years ago. The current rule is smarter.

As Nightwing correctly stated, the vessel in question should have been displaying a single white light visible for two miles in all directions.
Here is the applicable
Administrative Rule:
Saf-C 403.16 Lights on Non-Power Boats.
(a) Boats propelled by oars, paddles or other human or natural device except sails, operated on any public water, shall, between sunset and sunrise, display one white light in a conspicuous position, so placed as to show all around the horizon.
The two mile requirement is found in a subsection of the preceding rule that basically states white lights shall be visible for two miles and all other colored navigation lights (if required) visible for one mile.
