Coast Guard helps rescues man at sea
The U.S. Coast Guard hoisted a 33-year-old man from a fishing vessel near Cape Blanco, Wednesday, after the man complained of chest pains.
At about 1:30 p.m., Coast Guard Station Coos Bay received a request for assistance from the Shenanegan, a 50-foot fishing vessel.
A 47-foot motor lifeboat crew from Coos Bay went to the scene with two emergency medical technicians. A HH-65 Dolphin helicopter crew was launched from Coast Guard Air Station North Bend, a Coast Guard press release states. Despite poor visibility, caused by heavy fog, the helicopter crew hoisted Mike Hebert, 33, address unavailable, into the helicopter and returned him to Air Station North Bend where he was transferred to Bay Area Hospital by ambulance.
A hospital nursing supervisor said Hebert remained in the hospital in fair condition Thursday morning.
