I have to write about what?

I wonder if the 22 year-old recent journalism school graduate making minimum wage snickered even the slightest bit while interviewing for and writing this story.

Let's break it down, shall we?
Pregnant woman
Can't swim
Gets on jet ski
In a bay near Boston (Have you ever been in the water up there? Even in June?)
Falls off jet ski and can't get back on
Must be rescued
IN 3 FEET OF WATER

I will admit that it was a sandbar, so she couldn't get back to shore. But really? You're pregnant and can't swim, so you go get on a jet ski and hop into 55 degree water? At least they were wearing life jackets.
