A Coast Guard Air Station Kodiak MH-60 Jayhawk helicopter crew medevaced a 55-year-old female from the 'Seven Seas Mariner' 23 miles southeast of Montague Island in the Gulf of Alaska, in the morning of June 20, 2018. The Coast Guard Anchorage watchstanders received a medevac request from the captain reporting the woman was suffering from possible internal bleeding. They notified the duty flight surgeon who recommended a medevac to Anchorage within four hours. The Jayhawk helicopter aircrew safely hoisted the woman from the cruise ship and transported her to awaiting Alaska Region emergency medical services personnel in Anchorage. On scene weather at the time of the medevac was variable winds at 6-12 mph, 7-foot seas and patchy fog.
