Default 8-mo. Pregnant Woman OK on 22ft. Boat?

Ask her if the pregnancy's pretty much normal, and if the answer is yes, go
for it. But, if you're not sure whether your cell phone works on that lake,
perhaps someone else in the group can bring theirs, if it's from a different
provider. Finally, poke around the web for "first responder" tips for
delivering a baby. :-)

My girlfriend's 8-month pregnant sister wants to come out on the boat
with us for a day. She seems surprisingly unconcerned about any risks
associated with being on a boat. I'm not a doctor so i don't know how
much risk is involved, but as the captain it's my responsibility and
ultimately my call. We would be going to an inland lake instead of
the "big lake" (St. Clair, MI), but a cruiser wake here and there is
still inevitable.

Would you want anything to do with this responsibility, or am i making
much ado about nothing?

Thanks, -JZ
