NEW YORK — A Coast Guard crew medevaced a man from the recreational vessel Dove approximately 80 miles south of Montauk Tuesday evening.
Watchstanders from the U.S. Coast Guard Sector Long Island Sound command center received notification that a crewmember was very ill and experiencing diabetic-related health complications.
The command center consulted with a U.S. Coast Guard flight surgeon who recommended medical evacuation.
An MH-60 Jayhawk helicopter crew and an HC-144 Ocean Sentry airplane crew from U.S. Coast Guard Air Station Cape Cod launched and deployed a rescue swimmer to conduct a hoist and medevac of the 54-year-old man.
The patient was transferred safely to awaiting EMS at Coast Guard Air Station Cape Cod in stable condition.
