Its nice that the USCG recommends not taking a baby under 18 pounds on a "recreational boat".

However I live on an island.

My boat is "essential transportation" not "recreational boating". I have made many boat trips including one speed run to the ER that could not be considered recreational by any definition of the word.

On the mainland when you call an ambulance it comes to your home. On an island you must transport by boat to the ambulance.
