A US Coast Guard Air Station Kodiak MH-60 Jayhawk helicopter aircrew medevaced a man from the 'Devotion' 34 miles southwest of Cordova, Alaska, on Aug 4, 2018. Coast Guard Sector Anchorage watchstanders received a relay call from the charter vessel 'Dan Ryan' crew requesting a medevac for the man aboard the 'Devotion'. It was reported the man sustained a head injury and subsequently fell. Sector Anchorage watchstanders consulted a Coast Guard duty flight surgeon who recommended the medevac. When the helicopter arrived to the scene, the fishing vessel was tied up to an offshore supply vessel from which the 51-year-old man was safely hoisted and transported to Cordova, where he was transferred to awaiting emergency medical services personnel. Weather on scene was 15 mph winds, 2-foot seas, rain showers with a half-mile visibility.
