A U.S. Coast Guard H-60 'Jayhawk helicopter medevaced a man who suffered a medical emergency from the 'Explorer of the Seas' 200 miles offshore on Oct 6, 2018. The Oregon-based Coast Guard helicopter crew rescued the 67-year-old man who suffered a possible stroke. The cruise ship was in the middle of a nearly six-day trip from Seattle to Hawaii, according to its itinerary. A C-27 Spartan airplane from Sacramento was also launched to facilitate communications. The ship's crew requested a medical evacuation around 2 p.m. when the man appeared to be suffering a diabetic emergency and showed signs of a stroke. Once the helicopter arrived at the Astoria Airport, a second air ambulance took the man to Providence St. Vincent Medical Center in Portland. His condition was not disclosed.
