Narrative:

Problem started with a first time flyer (sister-in-law) with severe stomach upset, which made it necessary to make a 180 degree turn to pne. As PIC, a right turn should have been made avoiding the ADIZ zone. The trip was planned for an ocean cruise for sightseeing, but better judgement should have flown south of atlantic city to avoid the airspace.
