    A US Coast Guard Air Station Kodiak MH-60 Jayhawk helicopter crew medevaced a male crew member from the 'Sea Voyager' near Hinchinbrook Island on June 13, 2018. Coast Guard Sector Anchorage watchstanders received notification from the tug, stating one of their crewmen was experiencing symptoms of a heart attack. An emergency medical technician aboard the Sea Voyager administered medication as directed by his medical control. A flight surgeon for the 17th Coast Guard District recommended a medevac for the crewman within four hours. The Jayhawk helicopter crew hoisted the crewman from the tug and transported him to Anchorage for further medical care. Weather on scene was approximately 12-mph winds and 3-foot seas.
