    He's just saying that, assuming that everything floating in the lake gets washed up on the shore by the wind, if you walk around the shoreline (one dimension) you will have effectively searched the whole lake surface (two dimensions). The shoreline is one dimension because if you straighten it out it will be a line repeating itself every circumference length.
